Art Appreciation

Definition of Art Appreciation .

... the knowledge of the general and boundless qualities that classify all great art. It is seen used to refer to the creative exploration of visual art forms or the introduction of basic principles of visual literacy by the facilitation of essential questions that intrigue viewers to ponder . - Oxford English Dictionary

Why is art appreciation important ?

Art appreciation is extremely relevant for multiple reasons. It is a good way to understand the history behind the artwork, and the period from which the piece originated. Artists often reflect the problems that they face, and the issues of the society in their work.

Why is daily art appreciation important for our young artists?

Giving young artist an appreciation for art encourages exploration, self expression, logical thinking, self-esteem, imagination, and creativity. Early art experiences also teach kids to think openly, create new meaning, be more tolerant of others' differences, and gives them the courage to take risks.
