It is not restricted to individual experience, but it is
reflective of the world we live in.

The artwork that is created by today’s
contemporary artists has a worldview
and is sensitive to changing times
CONTEMPORARY ARTS
Contemporary artists frequently go beyond these
elements and values in their work, using new ideas and
techniques, in their attempts to establish meaning in
today's world.
The elements and concepts for art are kind of a script.
As writers, artists use phrases, pick, organize and
combine lines, forms, colors and textures in several
ways to express themselves and build meaning.

Appropriation
It is the process of making new content by taking
from another source pre-existing image — books on
art history, ads, the media — and incorporating or
combining it with new ones.
Appropriation is a three-dimensional variant of using
found objects in the painting.
To appropriate is to borrow.
A found object is an actual object— often a
manufactured product of a commonplace
nature — given a new identity as an artwork
or part of an art piece.
Existing artworks are
appropriated to
produce another
artwork.

Usage of prints,
images, and icons to
produce another art
form.
Combines the past with the present.
Revives interest in existing forms of art.
Appropriation
Appropriation
• Some common sources of stolen images are artworks
from the distant or recent past, historical records, media
(film and television), or popular culture (advertisements
or products).
• The source is sometimes unknown, but the artist may
have personal associations.
• The source of the appropriate image or object may be
politically charged, symbolic, ambiguous, or may push
the limits of the imagery considered to be acceptable to
art.
Appropriation
Appropriation
• Appropriate imagery can be photographically or carefully
imitated, reproduced by mechanical infers such as an
overhead projector, joined the time re- create an address
or repaint, changing its scale or design to make unused
meaning.
• Experts can as well compare differing pictures or objects,
layer them with other pictures, break them into parts, or
contextualize them, with recommends to reconsider
pictures or objects by setting them in a cutting-edge
setting.

Is appropriation still acceptable? Do you think that the
pre-existing artwork used in appropriation is defaced or devalued?
PERFORMAN
CE ART
It regularly increases drama, often acting
and development to extremes of
expression and continuity that are not
allowed within the theater.

It interprets various human activities such


as ordinary activities such as chores,
routines, and rituals, to socially relevant
themes such as poverty, commercialism,
and war.
Performance evolved to “emphasize spontaneous
elements of chance”. (Walker Art Center)
Performance Art
• Performance art refers to art activities that are presented
to a live audience and can combine music, dance, poetry,
theater, visual art and video.

• Whether public, private or videotaped, performance art


often involves an artist performing an action that can be
planned and scripted, or can emphasize spontaneous,
unpredictable elements of chance.

Performance Art
Various types of
performance art have
evolved from simple, often
private investigations of
everyday routines, rituals,
and endurance tests, to
larger-scale site-specific
environments and public
projects, multimedia
productions, and
autobiographical cabaret
style solo work.

SPACE
Space is an art transforming space, for
example the flash mobs, and art
installations in malls and parks.
It also refers to the distances or areas
surrounding, within, and within the
components of an item.

two-or three-dimensional.
Space
Site-specific art
forms – an art form
that is performed
and positioned in a
specific space
such as public
places.
Space
Often space is not clearly
shown in a piece, but it is an
illusion.
It is considered the breath of
art.
Space is found in almost
every piece of art that has
been made.
Space
• Photographers capture space, sculptors depend on space and shape, and
architects create space. This is a central aspect of every one of the visual
arts.
• Space provides the audience with a guide for the presentation of artwork.
• For example, you can draw a larger object than another to suggest that it
is closer to the viewer.
• Likewise, a piece of environmental art can be installed in a way that leads
the viewer through space.
Negative and Positive
• Negative space refers to the empty spaces the artist has created
around, between, and within the subjects.
• Quite often, we think of positive as being light and negative as being
dark.
• This does not necessarily apply to every piece of art.
• For example, you might paint a black cup on a white canvas.
• In three-dimensional art, the negative spaces are typically the open or
relatively empty parts of the piece.
• For example, a metal sculpture may have a hole in the middle, which
we would call negative space.
• In two-dimensional art, negative space can have a great impact.
Negative and Positive
• Negative space is the • Positive space refers to
background or the area the subject or areas of
that surrounds the interest in an artwork,
subject of the work. such as a person's face or
figure in a portrait, the
objects in a still life
painting, or the trees in a
landscape painting.

Technology
• So, in this age of transition in which material and digital
experience are in an unprecedented state of coexistence, our
understanding of the physical is being endlessly reshaped by
advancements in technology.
• Consequently, the very meaning of physicality and its apparent
importance to us has become subject to questioning.
• Since the 1960’s the term new media art was coined, and it was
used to describe practices that apply computer technology as an
essential part of the creative process and production.
