Welcome to the Year 12 Art guide! The guide provides a comprehensive selection of resources on artists from Pre-1990 & Post-1990. Use the following Analytical Frameworks to analyse and interpret artworks produced before 1990 and artworks produced since 1990:
The Structural Framework – used to analyse how the style, symbolism and structural elements of artworks contribute to the meanings and messages conveyed.
The Personal Framework – used to reveal 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, place and the society 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.
