ART APPRECIATION BASICS

1. What am I supposed to see when I see a painting / sculpture / picture / designs?

2. Art has its own language (visual language), so instead of merely “looking” at a
work of art, attempt to “experience” it.

3. The visual language of art consists of color, line, shape, space and texture. All
of these elements are used by the artist to make a statement, or to create some
kind of mood or express something the artist is feeling.

4. In experiencing a work of art, one needs to try and read the language of the
painting, just as one would try and read a book or a magazine.
