3rd Quarter: Week 2 1 Contemporary Elements of Art 1. Appropriation Appropriation is when an artist creates a new work of art by taking preexisting images from other sources and modifies and/or incorporates those images with new ones. 1. Time Time is incorporated into an artwork when the meaning of the work is dependent on the passing of time. Artists today manipulate how moments of time are experienced through the viewing of their artwork. 1. Performance Performance refers to artwork created by or presented to an audience.

The incorporation of these materials, such as recycled or industrial materials, plays an important role in the meaning of the artwork. 1. Perspective Perspective (such as localized, forced, or anamorphic) in contemporary art refers to when an artist works with the real space surrounding the artwork itself.

Many times, this destruction is documented as a process, which, in return, becomes the work itself. 1.

The additional meaning from the text adds another level of depth that cannot be created by shape and color alone.  The 7 Major Contemporary Art Forms × 1.
