I’m taking and art appreciation class soon, but I’m not sure what to expect from it. What’s art appreciation like?
You will learn how to look at a piece of artwork
and recognize why it is considered good, or
unique, or ground breaking. You will also learn
how to look beyond just the outward appearance
of the piece, and appreciate decisions the artist
made in creating it, such as the medium, the size, colors or lack of them, position of elements,
and the overall composition of the work. You will learn how to answer questions that are important
when looking at an artwork, such as ‘what was
the artist trying to say?’, or ‘what emotions are
evoked by this piece, and why?’, ‘why did he
choose to place the subject where he did?’,
that type of thing.
