While waiting for approval on a couple of posts I've already written, I thought I would briefly discuss a topic from the class module I taught in September at GIAL: in visual arts, the concept known as frame.
Frame is the purpose or intention of the artist in communicating a message in a visual artwork. When using visual arts to communicate a message, frame becomes very important. In order to interpret the message in a visual artwork correctly, the audience needs to understand the intention of the artist. Otherwise, the message is likely to be misinterpreted or ignored completely by the audience.
