Modern art has changed drastically from past art in its themes, canvases, subject matter, and how it is judged. Religion is no longer a common theme and modern art focuses more on rebellion, being the voice of the people, and love. It is created using new canvases like walls, paper, and the human body, rather than just churches and marble. Modern art can depict anything simplistically, from everyday objects to soup cans, rather than always being complex with many focal points. It is judged based on its uniqueness rather than having to follow popular standards like past art.
