An Odyssey to an in-depth knowledge of Contemporary Arts (Based on My Learnings)

What is Contemporary Arts?

According to About.com, Contemporary just means that "art that has been and continues  to be created during our lifetimes." In other words, contemporary to us, especially millennials. 

But as of what I knew in our class, Contemporary Art started on 70's up until to this very minute which always shows a journey of that certain artwork. It is created during the time of constant questions, re-evaluations and experimentations. What also makes this era distinct to other eras that have passed long time ago, is its artists and artworks which are process based and are highly site specific, although at times, it is also interactive. 

However, Contemporary Artworks must evoke a new feeling and not just the beauty of the artwork itself because during this era the artists give more emphasis on  the process over the aesthetics. 

On account with their belief that the result is not important but how it is made. As what my teacher once said; "You do art today to communicate to the future".
