Display Frames - Research & Evaluation


When deciding what frames to present my pressed plants in i thought it would be best to have both the vitrine and the frames from the same the material. Unfortunately because the vitrine was already made it meant that i now need to find frames that match the aesthetics of what i already have. Having brand new frames would look too clean compared to the worn wood on the display case. Finding second hand wood frames wasn't too much of a challenge however trying to find a set of frames that were all the same wasn't so easy. All the frames that were being sold in sets weren't wood, rather MDF covered in plastic. The aesthetic of the 'fake' wood looked rather cheap and would bring the quality of the work down overall. As a result of this i decided to pay for brand new wooden frames as it became alot simpler to find frames the right size, colour and quality. The only down side to this was that i couldn't view the frames in person till after they were made, implementing a level of risk onto whether my frames will be the desired colour and quality in person. 

Reviewing some of the websites i looked at - 
Website allowed for custom sizing, had a vintage style frame in dark wood, solid wood, cheap, highly recommend, most likely to match vitrine

Solid wood, didn't have custom sizing would need to be A3, more modern style

Only had frames in packs of 4 which i didn't want, more modern styles
Reviewing the websites above and a few others that i visited i decided to select the first website i looked at. ( www.frames.co.uk ) Their frames were the best price while still being able to get a custom sizing. In regards to aesthetics the colouring and style of the frames looks like it will match the vitrine well, however this can only be decided in person. This website also does next day delivery even n custom frames meaning i can start working on the presentation of the frames much quicker.

Abramovic Case Study - Research & Evaluation

Performance artist Marina Abramovic adopts a territory where both audience and artist coincide throughout the entirety of her performance. Abramovic’s early career commenced during the 1970’s an era where performance art was ridiculed, only fuelling her aspirations to prove critics wrong. Abramovic’s rhythm series, which constitutes of five individual performances from 1973 to 1974, scrutinizes the tensions between abandonment and control. At the forefront of Abramovic’s rhythm series is Rhythm 10 (Abramovic, M. 1973). Rhythm 10 consisted of Abramovic recording herself stabbing between the fingers of her left hand with 10 knives, as fast as she could; changing knives every time she cut herself. When all knives were used Abramovic would rewind the tape and playing it back, she then began re-performing the actions to the rhythm of the tape. Abramovic wilfully or not, subjected her performance to a rhythm over which she had limited control. Abramovic claims each cut manifesting itse...

Teacher training seminar - Notes and Reflection L012

A lot of what was said in this seminar was information i already knew but i thought that it would be best still to attended just in case they had any new information of if there maybe a different direction into teaching that i haven't come across. I kind of realised this seminar was more of a push to apply for teacher training through NORFOLK TEACHER TRAINING  CENTRE as they were the spokes people so they were trying to sell their company which then did make the seminar based solely around them. If i hadnt of been doing my own research before and knowing that there is other opinions for me out there then i guess it would persuade me to go with them. However knowing the knowledge i know i didn't really see myself wanting to sign up to this specifically. Getting into teaching through placement  Need to get a QTS but no necessary to get PGCE - QTS school based experience  was to get into teaching by looking at get into teaching - UCAS Helpful to get some school experi...
