Why Study Art?
A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Edouard Manet
Aspiring and established artists also study art to learn new techniques used with the different forms of artistic media. When you find an effect you like in a piece of art, you can learn how to create that effect yourself. Art is never stagnant, because people don’t stay the same. Our various life experiences affect us in different ways, and our responses to those experiences affect the art we create. Studying art helps us understand how to use art to express our thoughts, our passions, and our hopes. Below are links to various sites where you can view and study art created by others. You'll find links to sites of contemporary artists showcasing work you may not have seen before, as well as online art museums. New sites will be added periodically, so be sure to check back. Take a minute to peruse the sites and see what type of artwork catches your eye. And of course, be sure to visit your local art museum. Artists
