vinvi is right
Through the conceptual framework, students learn about:
• the role of the artist — the who, what, how, and why. The concept of the artist
encompasses practitioners such as artists, craftspeople, designers and architects.
The artist can be thought of as an individual or as a group, school, movement, etc.
• the role and value of the audience as a body of critical consumers. The concept of
the audience includes art critics and art historians as well as teachers, students,
entrepreneurs, patrons and other members of the public. Audiences for works
change over time and bring different meanings to artworks, artists and interpretations
of the world.
• artworks as real objects, as material, physical and virtual objects. The concept of
artworks includes art, craft and design as two- and three-dimensional works
(including architecture), and four-dimensional and time-based works. Artworks also
exist as representations of ideas that reflect such things as personal responses,
cultural views, symbolic interpretations and critical reinterpretations of other ideas.
Conceptual Frame
-World
~art world and greater world play a significant role in the practice of artists
~an artwork is generally an interpretation of his or her world
~art world is part of the world at large and is constantly changing and evolving due to technology and science
~collective experiences
~today’s world-many interpretations and layers can exist
-Artwork
~artworks belong within the confines of the artists world
~artworks reflect conceptuality and physical interests, ideas, and technology of the artist and the world
-Audience
~this includes critics and historians as well as students, teachers, patrons and other members of the public
~personal experiences of an individual have an effect on how they read work
~contemporary audiences differ hugely from the past, medieval audiences were largely illiterate and imagery was often a narrative
~mass communications today bombard the literate audience but perhaps not the critical consumers
-Artist
~the artists own circumstances will differ hugely and determine artistic practice
~constraint may be in the form of ideologies, i.e. feminism, or religion
~patronage gives opportunity as well as sometimes constraining the individual creativity
