The lesson defines Contemporary Art – that it is not a period,
nor does it have a specific art style, contrary to popular belief. It
also tackled the different art forms across the country: visual,
performing, literary, and media. Not only is it important to know
the art forms, it is also worth understanding and distinguishing
their classifications and kinds.
