Presenting Art Pieces

You can present work in many different ways, below are examples of presenting work and what types of work they are suitable for.


Framing a piece

This is suitable for paintings, drawings and usually flat based work can be done with or without a sheet of glass.

However some pieces such as a collage may be framed usually under a sheet of glass.









Flat Mounted 

This is also suitable for flat pieces such as paintings, this is where the canvas is placed over the supports made to keep it in place.

A similar method is foam board mounting where a image such as a photograph is placed onto a foam board which lifts the images as thought it's on a canvas which would then be flat mounted.









Glass cabinet

As seen in many galleries, glass cabinets usually hold something 3D and are designed for looking closely at the the piece but not touching it.

Pieces in these cabinets are usually sculptures or pottery-like pieces.









Hanging a piece of work

Hanging pieces are suauly either 3D objects but you can also hang canvas pieces. These types of pieces are secured with sturdy metal systems that keep them safe from falling.















Large scale pieces

Large scale pieces such as tall sculptures or painting can also be presented in their own room to be viewed or outside in the public.
