Hi Everyone! This week we will take a look at Contemporary Art: work being made by artists who are currently (or recently) alive. Contemporary Art art is often a reflection on our current times and issues we face today, while also taking into consideration cultural and historical reference and relevance Today we will look at some resources to view contemporary art online with videos of exhibits and artists speaking about their work. Check back for venues you can visit in Berlin to view Contemporary Art and links to activities and lesson plans you can do with the kids.
