Week 4 - Analytical Frameworks

Remember, you must refer to at least two of the Analytical Frameworks in your response. 

The Formal Framework – used to analyse how an artwork’s formal elements contribute to its meanings and messages.

The Personal Framework – used to shed light on how artworks can reflect an artist’s personal feelings, thinking and life circumstances and how the viewer’s interpretations are influenced by their life experiences.

The Cultural Framework – used to identify the influence on an artwork of the context of time and place in which it was made.

The Contemporary Framework – used to interpret how contemporary ideas and issues influence the making, interpretation and analysis of artworks from both the past and present.
