What are The frames? YEAR 7

Subjective frame The subjective frame deals with how you see, feel and think of the artwork. Its more about if you like it or hate it, or if it may remind you of something or maybe someone. The subjective frame deals with how emotional the artwork may present itself to the viewer, and if it may make the viewer feel the same way the artwork is portraying. It also deals with the psychological experience that occurred to the artist and how it may relate to the audience.

“The scream” Edvard Munch

The structural Frame The structural frame is about what the artwork is built of. It does not necessarily just focus on what kind of paint, or material the artwork is made of, but it also focuses on the signs and symbols in the artwork too. It may also focus on the shapes, size, the medium (what the artwork is made up of e. g paint, wood, pencil etc. ) It recognises the different elements and what is used to make the artwork what it is. The structure of the artwork supports all the frames that we will look at later in the presentation.

"Self Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird“ Frida Khalo

The cultural Frame The cultural frame is about how an artwork presents values, beliefs, traditions, religions, culture, ethnicity, age, gender, sex, or personal perspectives on certain things or subjects. The cultural frame explores an artwork that defines what the artwork is portraying to its audience and how it has a concern with worldly issues and or beliefs. The artwork may be created in a time that was traditionally made and had only made its own kind of artwork due to social status or the traditions of the artists. The cultural frame does not really focus on the culture of the artist or the artwork, but it rather explores the world in which the artwork was made in, and what influenced it to be part of that.

Mona Lisa – Leonardo Da Vinci Time it was made in: The Mona Lisa was made during the Italian renaissance by Leonardo Da Vinci. Artist influence: He was influenced by the traditions of the portrait painting and had a pleasure in painting woman, he even studied how a woman's body changes over time, even during pregnancy! Artists influence: He always painted portraits for the wealthy because during that time artworks for the church and paintings of families from a wealthy background always wanted to be painted, and this is what influenced him to create these artworks.

The Post modern frame This frame is a bit tricky to understand. This frames explores the new ideas and new ways that artists create artworks and they adapt un ordinary experiences and influences/ideas, to create artworks that may be absurd, funny, appropriated (changed for humour and to “make fun of” or to merely mock the artist or the artwork subject (story). So to be very basic, the postmodern frame is all about using different ideas to create artworks and to change the art from traditional and making the old way of art making in a another new way.
