Gr 4-12 Contemporary Art: The Art of Today

Art of the late 20th and early 21st centuries is vibrant, eclectic, and diverse. Contemporary artists often respond to current issues, themes, and events with which we are familiar, allowing us to view our world through new perspectives. This lesson offers an overview of where we are today in the history of art and invites students to explore, interpret, and engage with the art of their time. The lesson includes exclusive film clips of performance art pieces presented at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Our lessons are highly interactive and participatory learning experiences. Throughout each lesson, our educators engage students with thoughtful questions that stimulate critical thinking. Together with the students, they examine the ideas, cultures, and societies that influenced artists in their creative endeavors. Students are encouraged to construct their own interpretations and understandings of the artwork. All of our lessons are designed to be interactive and student-centered; our educators deeply value questions and comments from both students and teachers.
