Art Appreciation is the knowledge and
understanding of the universal and timeless
qualities that identify all great art. It is
about art. Art appreciation is also known as art criticism. The word
criticism here doesn't mean "critical" in
the sense taking a aggressive, negative approach
to a piece of art, but rather a careful analysis
of it.
"Art has a subtle language one that is more felt
rather than seen or heard. Learning something about the
elements of the art that you would like to appreciate
can help you appreciate better. In simple terms, you
cannot appreciate a thing if you do not know anything
about it. Educating yourself about art is easy. Reading
and familiarizing yourself about the type of art you are
interested in can go a long way in helping you make out
the finer aspects." -
