A Cross-Curricular
Framework for
Visual Analysis
     (Art does RE – Boom!)
Visual Analysis in RE
(Using the Visual Arts Framework of Analysis)

• There are 2 x ‘Formulas’ that Art Students
  apply to an image when attempting to
  analyse it.


• 1. The Conceptual Framework
• 2. The Frames
Visual Analysis in RE
 (Using the Visual Arts Framework of Analysis)
1. The Conceptual Framework
Is a network of relationships that exist between the key players in the Artworld

2. The Frames
1. SUBJECTIVE
2. STRUCTURAL
3. CULTURAL
4. POSTMODERN
Like Debono’s hats, the Frames act
as a filter through which to judge
an image.
Here’s the
image …..

Let’s
analyse
it the
‘Art Way’
Conceptual Framework
It’s all about
Relationships!
Frames:
- Subjective
     Like DeBono’s hats we look
     through a filter


 •   Emotion
 •   Personal Experience
 •   Intuition
 •   Dreams
 •   Imagination
Frames:
- Structural
 •   Symbols
 •   Composition
 •   Materials
 •   Techniques
 •   Formal Elements
Frames:
- Cultural
 • Time & Place
 • Identity
              •   Personal
              •   National
              •   Gender
              •   Racial
 • Culture
              •   Social
              •   Religious
              •   Political
              •   Economic
              •   Philisophical etc
Frames:
- Postmodern
• Parody
• Irony
• Ambiguity
• Paradox
• Appropriation
• Questioning
  Convention
• Use of
  Non-traditional
  materials or techniques
Finally, students would
pull their notes together
in a formal response:

The image Jesus on
Thyface, Date, by Artist
Challenges many
conventional
interpretations of Christ.
Synthesize:
• Conceptual
   Framework notes
• Relevant Frames
