It seems that when most people think of 'Modern Art', they think of some ugly, abstract piece that a kindergartener could have created. I know I've come across artwork like that. This page, however, is hopefully not going to fall into that category. Instead, this is going to simply be filled with art that has been created relatively recently. It's art that isn't famous or created by a household name, but simply beautiful, innovate, and fun. For a child studying Art Appreciation, it provides a place to study a broader variety of imaginative art - from every medium imaginable.
The format of this page is quite a bit different from the main Art Appreciation page - for one thing, this is going to be done in a blog style format, so a person has to load up older posts to see everything. For another, I will add a short commentary to many of the pieces. And finally, since there is less historical context, the student questions will often be more limited (or even non-existent).
Mostly this whole thing is just an excuse for me to 'collect' images that I find which are lovely or impressive.
