This was the text for my Art Appreciation class. You think about art in layers. Notice how it makes you feel, but give the art space to talk to you. Take the time to really look at it. Forget your pre-conceived notions. Let go of what you think you’re supposed to “get” and allow the art to tell you what it’s up to. Combine what you see/feel/know and you’ll find that you get more about art than you think. Art is not inaccessible; it’s for everyone.
