The next time you go to the museum or an art gallery or exhibition, learn from what you see.
Many of us go to shows, wisp by pieces of time and effort, to evaluate with our limited knowledge, speculate the reason for the expression, and personalize an opinion on what art is.
Here is a recommendation: Stop and look at the painting or pot or weaving or drawing or photo with unabashed freshness.
Someone had the thought, desire and motivation to create and present it to you.
Now that you have stopped, examine the color, texture, contrast, angles, shapes….
If you can find the creator, ask some questions about the feeling inspiring it's creation. Every piece has a story.
You will come away from the experience much richer.
