Introduction
Introduction from the Author:
Hello, My name is Susan Yim and I am the author
of this book, Contemporary Art. I am a student
attending the University of Washington and I am
pursuing a degree in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts
(IVA) as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I've
always had a fascination in art and the way people
express their own views of art.

I love fashion, drawing, designing, dancing, and
crafting things. Ever since I was born I had a
passion for many forms of art. In my elementary
years, I was one of the winners for my
elementary school's tee shirt design when I
was a third grader. I also won first place in
creating a calendar poster design for the King
County Water District. In high school, I
designed the math club, National Honor
Society, Key Club, AVID, and many other clubs'
shirt/ sweatshirt designs plus the senior
sweatshirts for my graduating class. I have also been
nominated "Most Artistic" at my school and I won a few
illustration contests online.
As you can see, I love creating art; since you are reading
this book, I assume you have an interest in art and the
passion for learning more about art. Well don't worry, I will
tell you more about the most recent forms of art, the art of the
present. In this book, you will learn more about
contemporary art and the different types of topic
contemporary artists use to create their artworks. You
will be able to tell the difference between different art
works and connect terms to the art pieces. Now, let's
explore the world of contemporary art!
