Analytical Frameworks

• 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.
