The Latent and the Apparent in the Contemporary Arts

Abstract

The concept of creativity has unravelled across the centuries to emerge as a concept that is both a manifestation and a process relevant to various aspects of modern society. The main focus of teaching or imparting art to the youth through any formal or informal system of education system is to bring about the promotion of creative competences among learners. Supported by selected methods of learning and teaching, by principles of work, and according to the ways of using individual methods, creativity tends to get developed and refined with every generation through time and space. There is a lot that is latent in the contemporary arts and a lot that is apparent. It is the mark of the true connoisseur  that a discussion of creativity must take into its purview the background, the personality, the process, and the product as an intrinsic part of the artist or the creator of any piece of contemporary art.
