Posters - Visual Arts Frames

The document outlines four frames - subjective, cultural, structural, and postmodern - for exploring perspectives when making and viewing artworks. Each frame poses questions to introduce its focus, such as the subjective frame asking about first impressions and emotions, the cultural frame about cultural representations and meanings, the structural frame about styles and materials, and the postmodern frame about challenging mainstream ideas.
