Every month SchoolArts Magazine has
a Looking and Learning feature that is based on contemporary art and artists
that includes beginner, intermediate, and advanced activities for students. Why
do we focus on contemporary art? As art reflects the times in which it was
created, contemporary art may not always be “beautiful” in a conventional
sense, but it expresses current events, ideas, issues, and concerns of
present-day life that are likely to engage students and be meaningful to them.
Contemporary art may also use new, emerging technologies that reflect students’
interests.
How do you go about finding contemporary artists to share with
students? How do you choose them? Have you had success introducing contemporary
art to your students? Please share your experience with SchoolArts for
possible publication. You can find our writer’s guidelines here..
