Very very little, in fact if you really know your stuff besides that I'd go so far as to say none. The big mark loser is in questions where they tag in and something,

that something can be worth up to half the question, people have a tendency to see it as a footnote and only write a paragraph or two.

A193

Along with drawings (lets say 'Less Stress More Success' sized) how many pages should they be? 4/5?

And should we put a box around the drawings?

That stuff is mostly just filler, not necessarily needed for a good essay at all. Focus on describing the painting and all that shizz instead.

That stuff is not just filler, giving context to a painting shows your understanding of its motives and also its place in history, i would also be inclined to include an influence at the beginning of your essay, and who the artist/artwork went on to influence, e.g. in an essay on Giotto I would first mention Cimabue and in closing mention his influence on Renaissance painters.

I will google your queries but tbh your just as well to do it yourself

On Birth of Venus:

In the past many scholars thought that this large picture may have been, like the Primavera, painted for Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici's Villa di Castello, around 1482, or even before. This was because Vasari, in his 1550 edition of the Lives of the Artists wrote: "...today, still at Castello, in the villa of the Duke Cosimo, there are two paintings, one the birth of Venus and those breezes and winds that bring her to land with the loves, and likewise another Venus, whom the Graces adorn with flowers, denoting the Springtime." But the Birth of Venus, unlike the Primavera, is not found in Medici inventories of the late-fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries, which has led some recent scholars to rethink the patronage, and hence the meaning, of the painting... A Neoplatonic reading of Botticelli's Birth of Venus suggests that fifteenth-century viewers would have looked at the painting and felt their minds lifted to the realm of divine love.
More recently, questions have arisen about Neoplatonism as the dominant intellectual system of late fifteenth-century Florence, and scholars have indicated that there might be other ways to interpret Botticelli's mythological paintings. In particular, both Primavera and Birth of Venus have been seen as wedding paintings that suggest appropriate behaviors for brides and grooms.

Basically you just asked to be handed hell on a plate there, take what interpretation you will, personally I'd go for the older, more chance your examiner has heard of it.

Alot of the questions I'm looking at in the papers ask for the 'form' of something, what is that??

ehem:

form:
a. Method of arrangement or manner of coordinating elements in literary or musical composition or in organized discourse: presented my ideas in outline form; a treatise in the form of a dialogue.
b. A particular type or example of such arrangement: The essay is a literary form.
c. The design, structure, or pattern of a work of art: symphonic form.

Seconding that, some notes etc recommend them for presentation but I'd prefer to spend those few extra seconds actually improving the drawing, surely thats better presentation?

hey its all about making the examiner feel happy about your lovely neat exam, if its well presented may help a little bit! id spend the 5s drawing a line rather than the extra nose shading on a picture...

Yeah you just go into detail about it all, describe techniques, influences, similarities with other artists styles at the time and how they moved on from them.
I've never bothered learning who commissioned things and why unless I'm told that its specifically important, like if the pope commissioned it or something.

Can't believe Newgrange decided to pull an Eavan Boland on it. haha FML
