1. Compare and contrast Street Art to Installation Art. Is it possible that these
two contemporary arts can merge into one direct art forms?
Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that often
are site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. On the
other hand, the artist’s work in street art is to bring messages, or just produce
simple beauty to an audience. Both are subversive art movements where work
is displayed in public rather than a gallery setting. Street artists want everyone
to view and be engaged by their work. They are trying to make a statement.
Installation art and street art are closely related contemporary art movements,
however, they differ in terms of technique, function and intent.
In my own perspective, I think it is not possible that these two
contemporary arts can merge into one direct art forms.

graffiti receive a high recognition? Where or when is it legal?
Graffiti art commonly refers to decorative imagery applied by paint or

are 1) Hosier Lane, Melbourne, Australia 2) Warsaw, Poland 3) Queens, New
York, United States 4) Paris, France 5) Taipei, Taiwan and others. Graffiti art

3. What is Contemporary Art? How does it differ from modern art? If you
would to choose from Contemporary and Modern Art? What will you prefer?
Contemporary art is the art of today, produced in the second half of the
20th century or in the 21st century. Strictly speaking, the term
"contemporary art" refers to art made and produced by artists living today.
Today's artists work in and respond to a global environment that is culturally
diverse, technologically advancing, and multifaceted. Working in a wide range
of mediums, contemporary artists often reflect and comment on modern-day
society.
Unlike modern art, contemporary art has some social impact. Moreover,
contemporary artists had significant freedom and liberty to experiment with all
styles. Modern artists tend to find the pure idea of art. Contemporary artists are
very liberal in their attitudes, and they are least concerned about purity in art.
I prefer Contemporary Art rather than Modern Art.

4. What is Pop Art? Does it have any relationship with Pop Culture? Explain
your answer.
Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and the
United States during the mid- to late-1950s. The movement presented a
challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular and mass
culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects.
Yes, it has a relationship with pop culture because Pop Art was the art of
popular culture. Pop Art was brash, young and fun and hostile to the artistic
establishment. It included different styles of painting and sculpture from
various countries, but what they all had in common was an interest in mass-
media, mass-production and mass-culture.

5. What is Photorealism Art? What are some reason/explanation why this art
have such great impact on the viewers?
Photorealism is a genre of art that encompasses painting, drawing and
other graphic media, in which an artist studies a photograph and then attempts
to reproduce the image as realistically as possible in another medium.
This art forms have such a great impact on the viewers because the artists
can create very realistic pictures of things that don't actually exist. They were
also able to accurately reproduce images like portraits, landscapes, seascapes,
and other icons with the aid of photographs.
