What Is Contemporary Art? Personal Response

Description

Contemporary art can seem puzzling, and these ten PDF lessons give you ways to respond to it. They begin with the basics and a framework for forming a personal response, then outline the key art movements that shaped current work and techniques you will meet.

Other lessons build your observation skills, connect artworks to your own experiences and show how to keep a personal art journal. The final lessons cover developing critical thinking about art, finding your voice in art discussions and building confidence in appreciation. Most lessons include exercises. After reading, you should be able to look at a piece, describe what you see and explain your reaction in your own words.

Who it is for: gallery visitors and curious adults who want to engage with contemporary art with more confidence.
