Imagine that you are riding a time machine that brings you back to
the past-ten years ago. You look at yourself, and you notice that
have also turned ten years younger! Now you look around and study
your surroundings. You find yourself in the center of your
hometown. What do you see aside from the people? Walk around and
examine the scenery. Is there a commercial center? a plaza? Are
there houses, schools or churches? What type of buildings do you
see? Are there any monuments or statues around? Drawings and
posters? You move on, and soon enough, you stop at a store where
people are watching a dance routine in a television program. What
kind of music do you hear from the program? What type of dance
movements do you see? What are the dancers wearing?
Art is an expression of feelings, imagination, and creativity of an
individual. It has no boundaries, and it is of big help whenever we
feel the need to express what we feel at the moment.
Here are some definitions of art by some personalities:
“Art is the perception of value in a creation that touches, inspires
appreciation, and enriches the human experience”. – Wallace
Easter, Associate Professor, Music- Horn
“Art is the ability to make connections, tell a story, and inspire
others through the usage of color, music, movement, and
craftsmanship”. – Daveisha Gibson, M.F.A Candidate in Arts
Leadership
“To me, art is a creative expression with a purpose”. Lindsay Bass,
double major in Mechanical Engineering and Vocal Performance.

Contemporary Art Defined
Contemporary art is the art that springs out of the present-day events
and passions of the society. It is the newest form of art, amusing people
from the middle to the late 20th century up to this very minute.
Authorities in the arts place the emergence of contemporary art
sometime during the start of postmodernism in the west, around the
late 1970s. This was the time when artists reacted to the previous art
called modernism, whose idea of using a pure, simplified, and a
streamlined form and style was fundamental in creating something new
at that time. This gave birth to the idea that “less is more.”
Contemporary Art vs. Modern Art
In grade 10, you have come across the different art forms of the Modern
Era. You have learned about the movements, the artist and the other by-
products of the late 1800s up to the mid-20th century.
Perhaps the main distinction between modern art and contemporary art
is the time period in which they have existed. Modern art emerged in the
late 1800s and continued to grow for more or less a century. It slowly
waned in the middle to late 20th century when postmodernism came to
light. Postmodernism then give birth to what we know now as
contemporary art. This art exists up to this day, and no one knows when
a new period will arrive to veil contemporary art in its shadow.
