B. Instruction Write a reflection about what your learning experience has been in art appreciation (200-250
words). (10pts)
This subject thought me not just to appreciate the beauty and aesthetics of art but to also understand why it is

built or designed like that. Art is everything and can be seen anywhere at any time. Art is ever-changing,

with new trends and styles appearing all the time. The artist's ultimate goal, though, is to create something

that speaks to the audience personally and can be interpreted in a variety of ways. Every person who

encounters art is meant to be personally touched by it because art taps into the subconscious. Art is really

important as it helps us to comprehend the history of the piece and the time in which it was created. In their

work, artists frequently address personal challenges as well as societal problems. We can better understand

how society differed back then and now by examining and placing ourselves in the artist's shoes. On a

human level, we can relate to and empathize with the issues they encountered. Many people use art to

express something they find difficult to say or explain in other ways. Because of this, understanding art is

crucial for adding the final component—our interpretation—that completes the piece. The artwork comes to

life through our perspective as it adapts to each person that is in its area. The most essential benefit of

appreciating art is that it encourages reflection and analysis, challenges people to see beyond the obvious,

and encourages us to be open to the opinions of others.
