Art of the 21st century emerges from a vast variety of materials and means.
These include the latest electronic technologies, such as digital imaging and the
internet; familiar genres with a long history that continue to be practice with great
vigor, such painting; and materials and processes once associated primarily with
handicrafts, re-envisioned to express new concepts. Many artists regularly and freely
mix media and forms, making the choices that best serve their concepts and
purposes. (Robertson, n.d.)
In this learning material, we will discover the different forms of arts known in
this contemporary time.

In its most basic sense, the term contemporary art refers to art – namely
painting, sculpture, photography, installation, performance, and video art –
produced today. Although the exact starting point of this genre is still debated, many
historians consider the late 1960s or early 1970s (the end of modern art, or
modernism) to be an adequate estimate.
Given its “art of today” as definition, let’s take a look on the different forms of
contemporary arts:

Conceptual Art
Performance Art
Performance Art begun in the 1960s and retain its popularity today. Performance
art is a drama-inspired approach to art. While the art form is performed by artists (as the
name suggests), it is not solely intended as entertainment. Instead, is goal is to convey
a message or idea. Predominant performance artists include Marina Abramovic, Yoko
Ono and Joseph Beuys. (Richman-Abdou, 2019).

Installation Art
Installation art is a genre in which “ideas” and “impact” are regarded as being
more important than the quality of a finished “product” or “work of art.” In here,
installation artists are more concerned with the presentation of their message than
with the material used to present it. Often, they’re large-scale and site-specific,
enabling artists to transform any space into a customized, interactive environment.
Well-known installation artists include Yayoi Kusama, Dale Chihuly, and Bruce
Munro. (Richman-Abdou, 2019).

Animation Art
Animation art is a form of visual art that makes motion picture from a series of
still drawings. Although twenty first century animation is dominated by computerized
film and video technology, the creative figure drawing skills and draftmanship of
cartoonists and graphic artists remain an integral part of the process. Famous twentieth
century animators include J. Stuart Blackton, George McManus, Max Fleischer, and
Walt Disney, and the team from DreamWorks Animation. Famous animated film
cartoons include Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and Donald Duck, Jungle Book, the
Simpsons, Shrek and Anime. (http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/animation-art.htm).

Computer Art
Computer art refers to any form of graphic art or digital imagery which is
produced with the aid of a computer, or any types of art in which the role of the
computer is emphasized. The best known digital artists include German pioneer
Manfred Mohr, the American artist Ronald Davis, John Lansdown, and Jean-Pierre
Hebert. ( http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/computer-art.htm).

Graphic Art
Graphic arts depend their effect on line and tone, not color. The main classical
type of graphic art is drawing, which includes cartoons, caricature, comic strips and
animation, as well as line drawings and sketching with pencil or charcoal, and pen
and ink. Graphic art also denotes those art forms involved in printmaking, such as
etching and engraving, including drypoint. Postmodern forms include the word art
of Christopher Wool and the conceptual graphic art of Barbara Kruger.
