Contemporary art is known as the works of artists with special structures, forms, aesthetics, and purposes. The artists who practice different types of contemporary art normally live in the 21st century. This form of art is also called the art of today, which is created with in our lifetime. However, it was developed decades ago from the end of the last century. Today, many artists worldwide practice contemporary art with a dynamic mixture of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects. In an art educational setting, there are however limitations, especially when it comes to art materials, equipment, space, and resources for art and design education. This research shares an experiment of introducing Virtual-Installation Art for art education students at the Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in Oman. Samples of the study are from 44 students enrolled in the course of "ARED 3110: Contemporary Painting" at SQU. Students in this course were asked to produce virtual digital art pieces focusing on artistic characteristics of Installation Artworks as work designed to transform the perception of a space. The result also shows that their artworks are art mirrors of the contemporary culture and society with the sense of global, cultural, and technological influences. The visual results of this experiment are recorded in this research study and discussed with specific suggestions and recommendations for improving the teaching and learning of contemporary art in schools and higher education.
