Last Friday's Lecture

For the two years that I was enrolled in my last school, the Art History classes I had taken, and had been offered, all dealt with art before and up until the Renaissance. It has been interesting and enlightening for me to take an "Art History" class that addresses art that is being created much more recently, up until present day.

I have heard of the terms Modernism and Postmodernism but sadly, have never really understood them fully before. In art related classes I took at my other school, these ways of thinking in relation to art had been skimmed over. It was assumed that we all fully understood these terms. I learned a lot in last Fridays lecture and was able to get a much better understanding of these attitudes and ways of thinking in relation to the art that was being created in these periods. I feel like I will now be able to grasp the idea of Contemporary Art better because I have a stronger understanding of what came just before.
