ART fromRegions

 Contemporary Art:
-art produced at the present period in time.
Contemporary art includes, and develops from,
Postmodern art, which is itself a successor to
Modern art.
In vernacular English, modern and contemporary

modern art and contemporary art by nonspecialists.

 Contemporary art forms are the following:

1.Choreography
2.Musical instrument
3.Literary and music composition
4.Visual design
5.Theatrical performance

 Contemporary dance:
-is a popular form of dance which developed during the middle
portion of the twentieth century and has since grown to become
one of the dominating performance genres for formally trained
dancers throughout the world,
-with particularly strong popularity in the U.S. and western
Europe. Although originally informed by and borrowing from
classical,modern, andjazzstyles, it has since come to
incorporate elements from many styles of dance.
-but due to its popularity amongst trained dancers and some
overlap in movement type, it is often perceived as being closely
related to modern dance, ballet and other classical concert
dance styles.
