1. Describe the artwork done by an artist in the past.

Past art contains keys to life in the past. We can learn about the culture that created
it by looking at a work of art's symbolism, colors, and materials. We can rewind time and
experience what a time span distinct from our own was like by studying artworks from
the past and looking at their details.

2. Describe the new artwork based on the previous artwork.

The new artwork is more stunning than previous artworks because there are more
experiences and materials for artwork today to use.

3. Compare the two. What qualities of contemporary art are manifested in the new
artwork?

Contemporary art was originated at the end of the 19th century. It was created as
a result of the dragging of different techniques that came from that century, and it
is considered that impressionism and post-impressionism were the concepts that
drove its creation. From its beginnings, it was based on different avant-garde
movements such as Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Futurism and Dadaism.
These currents had as common aspect innovation and giving to art a different
space to the one it had in ancient times. In the twentieth century, contemporary
art came to break traditional patterns and impose new characteristics in the way
of making art.
