The idea of framing art is an important one. It is not the same as exhibiting art. Framing involves how the art is displayed, while exhibiting art is how the art is shown. Yet they are not entirely separate ideas either.

The world of art and design is a complex and interesting subject. A great deal of its richness comes from the different types of framing that are possible. In this blog we examine these different types and ways to create them.

The six basic framing ideas explained in this blog are: focal point, alignment, proximity, repetition, balance and symmetry, and contrast. There are many more frames than these, but these are enough to get us started.

Smart frames are used to make art more interesting by adding a context or background that is relevant to the content of the piece. It can also be used to purposely obscure the content. This is commonly found in paintings where the shape and color of the frame is as important as the painting itself.

Smart frames are a simple but powerful technique that can be used to create, keep, or reinforce any kind of social frame.

Smart frames are the reason why many people who don’t like certain kinds of art also don’t know it. When they see a piece of art that they do not like they don’t see art at all. They only see objects and concepts with negative connotations and no other meaning. Smart frames can make art look better and make it easier for people to enjoy it.

Smart frames, they are the lenses through which we see the world. They frame our thoughts and define what is important to us.

Framing:

1.To be in or act as a frame or border; encircle, surround.2. To set up rules and conditions; regulate: “I am trying to frame a research agenda for my dissertation”3.To present in a particular way so as to influence the perception of an issue, event, etc.; present in such a way as to guide judgment about something.4.To shape or influence (a person’s thinking) by presenting information in a particular way so as to encourage certain beliefs or ideas.

An art frame is a decorative border around an image, usually used in conjunction with a painting. Frames can be made of wood, metal, plastic or other materials, and are designed to complement the picture or image it holds. Frames are often used to display an individual piece of artwork or a set of matching pictures.

Textiles, another medium for displaying images, use frames to emphasize the art piece. The textile frame is often called a “matted” or “mounted” piece. The mat is a border that often includes fabric on the front and the back of the piece, which holds it in place behind the frame itself.

The earliest art frames were constructed from carved wood or made from metal. The oldest known example of an art frame dates back to 6500 B.C., and was found in Egypt during excavations at Hierakonpolis in 1927. This wooden-framed piece was constructed using papyrus reeds and included painted symbols depicting religious symbols such as flowers and birds. In Japan, pieces of fine silk called nuno were used as art frames as early as 400 B.C., while Chinese wood and bronze art frames date back to 221 B.C., according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Art frames have evolved over time based

“There is no such thing as “a frame of mind” or “an attitude to life” which is invariant over time, personal and social context, and the different situations in which one finds oneself. The frame of mind changes according to the nature of the situation and of the person who faces it.” —From Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger’s Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation

Frames are tools for understanding information. They are used to make sense of new information by relating it to what you already know. They help you filter out what you don’t need to pay attention to.

How do you make sense of a new situation? You apply a frame, or several frames, that you have learned from previous experiences with similar situations. For example, if you decide where to go out for dinner, you may use frames like these:

• A Bargain Frame: Where can I find a good meal at a low price?

• An Experience Frame: Where can I experience the most unique cuisine?

• A Familiarity Frame: Where can I go that my friends will be able to join me?

• An Enjoyment Frame: Where can I enjoy myself while eating?

Many of these frames probably came from your experience with
