With contemporary art not merely meaning ‘of the time’ or ‘now’ but meaning a specific art movement from around 1990 that is still continuing today.
Looking for critical dividing lines on the timetable of modern art is difficult because the objects and subjects are so diverse. For me, the best new category is "Bad Art." There are so many modern artistic ideals reflected in it; laziness, commercialism, shock-value.

Most art colleges these days seem to emphasize contemporary art which is often associated with political anger and looks strange or even ugly. Where can she find colleges that would nurture her love for beauty in nature and emphasize mediums and techniques? This would be in Canada but any advice would be helpful regarding types of colleges.Thanks very kindly.
I’m not sure about Canadian colleges, but it might be a good idea for her to email the Director of the Art Program of colleges she’s interested. She could ask what percentage of the Fine Arts are covered and what percentage are contemporary. I agree with you, I do not like contemporary art all that much. Beware though, that a lot of colleges will tell you anything because they want YOUR money! Do you have local Art Associations nearby? Talk to the instructors there. They might be able to help your daughter. Most Art Associations deal with Fine Art moreso than contemporary, because they deal with the public as a whole. Most people don’t want to learn Contemporary Art techniques when they are paying good money out of their pockets. Good luck!

By definition, i am a contempory artist by living at this moment. But i am not a contemporary minded person. Contemporary art and its associated scene is a turn off. I do not want to participate!! But i keep making this stuff once called art…..
Put those emotions into your art, make something totally new, which is what art is supposed to be. You could come up with something totally amazing. Just transfer your feelings onto paper. Sure, you hate contemporary art, and the art you make doesn’t have to be called that. Art gives you freedom and independence, use them to your advantage.
