Rococo and NeoclassicismGlobal Contemporary

1980- Present

ENDURING UNDERSTANDING: Traditional forms of art history have been enhanced by technology

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE• Traditional skills have been challenged by digital works, works

that were meant for last only a short time, works captured on video, computer generated works, etc.

• Diverse art forms are created that reflect and challenge the environment in which they were made.

• Artists appropriate works form the past which reveal layers of meaning beyond what was perhaps intended.

• Cities see to be defined by an iconic landmark.

Rococo and NeoclassicismGlobal Contemporary

1980- Present

ENDURING UNDERSTANDING: Contemporary art is global.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE• Art history has traditionally ignored contemporary art from

non-American and European sources. Excellent contemporary art is being produced globally.

• Eurocentric views have been downplayed by the rise of the Internet and political power shifts around the globe.

• Artists now come from a multitude of backgrounds, not just the traditional white heterosexual male.

• There are many more venues for displaying art in the world today than ever. Galleries, exhibits, and annual exhibitions proliferate.
