Analyzing Art Through the Conceptual Frames

Hello APers (AP is capital so it doesn’t sound like ape ..hopefully…) Welcome to your first blog with Banzhoff. :)  I am excited to be working with all of you!

Ok. So here is your blog due in two weeks with two additional comments.

Lately I have been hearing a lot of buzz about art education in Australia and how they have students analyze art through the frames. They start this process of looking at art with elementary students. I want you to try it!

Here is an example: (Note this gives an example of how to analyze an artwork through all four conceptual frames. I am only having you choose ONE. 


1.  For this, pick an artwork from the Art institute of Chicago’s database http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/ and analyze the work using one of the 4 frames.

2. What do you think of this way of looking at art? Was it helpful? Did it influence how you see art in some way?
