Let us take a step into the realm of contemporary art, where creativity is free and boundless. Contemporary art can include almost anything modern, regarding human life after 1945, including multiple mediums, materials, and techniques. The variety found reflects the ever-changing fickle nature of humanity. It’s a space where artists’ cook up innovative ideas and use non-traditional, and unconventional materials to create their works. Kara Walker,  is a perfect example of contemporary art, a space where spectacle meets humanity. Her works with silhouettes , and the Sugar Sphinx show us how to use history and material in a new and exciting way.

Contemporary Art is not just about visual spectacle. Contemporary art is also a conduit and catalyst for important conversations about social and political issues like the wealth gap, education, quality of life, identity, race, gender, and the environment.

The concepts found within contemporary art go beyond formal representation. They motivate us to take action, in real life. So act, make your own contemporary art, document yourself,  your life, experiences, what grids your gears, in your own way, because Contemporary art serves as an invaluable legacy for future generations. Contemporary art revolutionized the art world, this art captures and preserves our time spaces, offering glimpses into our contemporary human experience. 

So why wait to understand someone else’s version of the here and now, when you can and may speak, and create for yourself?

Let us utilize contemporary art as the tool it is, for self expression, and engage with the real world around us.
Art is for everyone, don’t think you can not, all humans were born to create, so go make something. Don’t let life pass by,  and not record your version of what life is to you, in whatever way you choose. Your thoughts and ideas matter.

Use what you have and get to it. I believe in you, so now believe in yourself.
