I imagine that you Master Thesis is about something, which is presented in a consequential manner. I would take the same order in which you describe your work and write the state of the art, point by point. For instance, imagine you were to describe a new electric car engine. I'd start with a state of the art of cars in general, maybe grouped by purpose, and by type of fuel. Then I'd give the state of the art for electric engines, including other means of transportation, e.g. trains. Next, I'd give a start of the art of electric car engines. Finally, I'd give a start of the art of research and industry in all the relevant additional fields, e.g. some chemical reactions that constitute the core innovation of your engine. I hope that helps.
