WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF
ARTS?
Aesthetic Value
One of the biggest benefits of Contemporary Art is its aesthetic value. This means that the
art possesses some capacity to elicit a sense of pleasure in the viewer. Although, what is
considered pleasing to the eye may vary depending on the viewer, given the wide variety of
mediums and methods for this style of art there is likely to be some form that will appeal to
each person.
ARTS?
Relaxation and Inspiration
Research has shown that viewing art can be relaxing. This is used for some of the
mindfulness exercises that are currently so popular. Art can help to pull people out
of their mind of racing and wandering thoughts, into the present moment to
experience what is in front of them. This is helpful because it teaches people to do
this also at other times, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
ARTS?
Personal Expression
One of the benefits of Contemporary Art is that it allows individuals a means of

personal expression. Through painting, sculpture, and performance art, anyone can
express themselves in a way that will be safely observable for others. Likewise, the
perspectives that are expressed are valuable for society because it gives a unique
window into the minds and thoughts of the art.
WHAT IS
CONTEMPORARY ART?
• refers to current and very recent practice. It also
refers to works of art made by living artists.
• tends to be assessed thematically and
subjectively, drawing on an expanded range of
theoretical and practical disciplines.
• Contemporary Art can be driven by both theory
and ideas, and is also characterized by a blurring
of the distinction between art and other
categories of cultural experience, such as
television, cinema, mass media, entertainment
and digital technology.
Contemporary Performance
• Contemporary performance is hybrid work that integrates text, dance,

objects, music, costumes, lighting, image, sound, sets, and vocal expression
into complex interactive systems.
• Contemporary performance collages are often non-narrative, technically
rigorous, and carefully orchestrated anarchic chaos. They unsettle
perception, demand critical engagement from audiences, address conceptual
debates within aesthetics, draw on a diverse range of cultural interests, and
bring pleasure to populations across the globe.” (Morgan v. P. Pecelli)

Characteristics of Contemporary Art
Contemporary art mirrors contemporary culture and society, offering teachers, students, and general
audiences a rich resource through which to consider current ideas and rethink the familiar.
The work of contemporary artists is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects
that challenges traditional boundaries and defies easy definition.
Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform organizing principle,
ideology, or -ism. In a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world,
contemporary artists give voice to the varied and changing cultural landscape of identity, values, and beliefs.
Contemporary art reflects a wide range of materials, media, and technologies, as well as opportunities to
consider what art is and how it is defined. Artists today explore ideas, concepts, questions, and practices that
examine the past, describe the present, and imagine the future.
