Appreciation
Art appreciation is the
knowledge and
understanding of the
universal and timeless
qualities that identify all
great arts. The more you
appreciate and understand
the art of different eras,
movements, styles and
techniques, the better you
can develop, evaluate and
improve your own artwork.

9. Learning how to appreciate art is a necessary cultural foundation enabling
people to critically analyze art, art forms, and how cultures used art.!
Art appreciation centers on the ability to view art throughout history,
focusing on the cultures and the people, and how art developed in the
specific periods. It is difficult to understand art without understanding the
culture, their use of materials, and a sense of beauty. Art is conveyed by the
simple act of creating art for art's sake. Every person is born with the innate
desire to create art, and similar to other professions, training is essential in
honing skills to produce art. Art education broadens a person's
comprehension, development, and visions of art. Art brings an
understanding of diversity, how people lived in the past, and connects the
issues concerning contemporary life and art today
