Beyond the visual: The Body in Contemporary ArtDeborahJ
When we think of the Body in Contemporary Art we could consider a number of different and relevant aspects. For instance, the body - the human form - is central in art, traditionally the body was often used to explore allegory, beauty and sexuality and so on. But in the twentieth century there was a significant shift in both how the body was perceived, and how it was used to create art across a range of media, from painting and sculpture to installation, photography, video art, performance and participatory art. By considering the different roles played by the body in art, we can identify that there has been a shift from being the subject, for example, in a portraiture, to becoming an active presence in live and participatory events. Alongside this there has also been a significant transformation of the role of the audience, broadly speaking, from passive viewer to active participant.

2. Why was the
Colosseum built
• The Colosseum was used for
gladiator contests such as
mock sea battles, animal
hunts, executions,
reenactments of famous
battles.
• Also used for entertainment
for the public.
3. Who made the Colosseum
• Construction of the
Colosseum began under the
rule of the Emperor
Vespasian in around 70–72
AD.
• It is 189 meters long, and
156 meters wide, with a base
area of 6 acres. The height of
the outer wall is 48 meters.
The perimeter originally
measured 545 meters.
4. Where is the
Colosseum
• The Colosseum is in Piazza
del Colosseo, Rome, Italy on
a large flat area.
• The Colosseum is Capable
of seating 50,000 spectators.
5. Interesting facts
• The Colosseum was also
used for sacrifices and It
was later reused for such
purposes as housing and
workshops.
6. How is it used now
• The Colosseum is now used as a tourist
attraction taking in hundreds of thousands of
people.
7. • I think that the Colosseum should be
preserved because of how magnificent it is. It
is very interesting how the Romans could
move heavy rocks to that height. Also how
they could make the concrete to stitch all the
rocks together to form a three story landmark.
When I'm older I would love to go there.
