Appreciating Culture

1- Go to museums. Look at art pieces and engage with what you see. Take your time with several pieces. As you look at these art objects, consider what makes them special and unique. This will take time. Art appreciation involves unhurried contemplation.

  • Engage with each art object using a different lens. A painting is different from a photograph. Don't look at a contemporary work in the same way that you would look at a classical one. A newer oil painting deserves a different consideration than one from three hundred years ago. Remember that periods matter, as do movements.
  • Take a tour. The guide will pass along important details about significant pieces of artwork. Listen carefully, even if you have seen the piece before. You might learn something new about the artwork or the artist.
  • See if they have informative print-outs. These can give you vital information about the museum’s collection.


2- Read literature. Immerse yourself in both contemporary and classic literature. Fiction can help you be more empathetic by portraying the perspectives of a wide assortment of people.


3- Read philosophy. Philosophy will give you the tools to discuss questions about morality and free will. By reading philosophy books, you will be able to examine your own life and thoughts more clearly. This can aid in decision-making.


4- Take copious notes. When you read these books, keep a notepad handy so you can scribble down notes about the themes and ideas in these texts. You don’t want to get bogged down in every last detail, but writing down the most significant portions of what you’ve read is a great way to avoid becoming lost as you tackle these important works.


5- Watch films. See if you can find some art-house films. There are many excellent films in circulation. Take the opportunity to watch a few of them. If it helps, try to pick one director and watch as much of their filmography as possible. Then read criticism about films you have seen. Look for discussions about how that director decides to shoot and edit their films.
