Don't be a snob. Art is for everyone
I'm here to tell you: art is for everyone. And I'm not just talking about the kind of stuff that's in museums; "art" can be anything from OK Go music videos to the paintings on your dentist's wall. It doesn't matter how much money you have or how much you know about art, it's yours to appreciate and enjoy as much as anyone else's. So stop worrying about being an art snob and enjoy yourself!
Art is for everyone.
It’s time to stop being snobs. Art is for everyone, not just the rich, educated or experts. We all have a right to experience and enjoy art. Art should not be reserved for those who know what they are doing or who are interested in it enough to take an art class.
Art is a great way to express yourself and show other people your personality, whether you’re an artist or not. It can also help you learn how to do new things like speak in public or dance with strangers at parties!
You don't need to be a snob about art.
Art is for everyone. Art is not exclusive, it exists to be enjoyed and appreciated by anyone who wants to experience it. It's not just for the 1% of people who can afford $100k pieces of sculpture; art should be accessible to everyone, no matter your income or background. You don't have to have an art history degree, or even any knowledge of what you're looking at in order to enjoy it! If you like a piece, that's all that matters—don't let anyone else tell you otherwise (unless they are literally trying to steal your artwork).
Art is for relaxation.
There are few things more calming than looking at beautiful paintings or sculptures while breathing in fresh air outside with friends and family around us; this practice should definitely be encouraged by our society instead of shamed into being considered elitist because some snobs think that only rich people need such things as "relaxation."
Art is for inspiration.
Our lives are full with challenges every day: from paying bills on time every month before taxes come due at year end (or earlier) so we can avoid penalties later on down the line when filing taxes again next April 15th--that pesky deadline keeps getting closer every year!--to making sure our loved ones get fed properly without going over budget each week because those grocery bills add up! Sometimes we just need something pretty/funny/cool etc., floating around somewhere nearby so we can find inspiration during stressful times--and isn't that what art really does?
Not everyone needs to know the "right" way to talk about art.
Whether you're at a museum or an art gallery, don't be afraid to ask questions about the art, even if it seems like the most basic question. There's nothing wrong with not knowing much about the history and context of the work in front of you. If someone asks you a question about what makes something good art or how something was made, don't feel intimidated by their knowledge. That's why museums exist—so people can learn about new things together!
If someone says something that bothers or offends you, it's okay to admit that it bothered/offended you instead of trying to "fix" their opinion with yours. Likewise, if someone has an opinion that differs from yours on whether or not something is good art (or even just whether they like it), respect that person enough not to make them feel bad for having those opinions.
Regardless of your knowledge of art, you can appreciate it and have a good time with it.
Whether you're a lifelong art-lover or someone who's never even been to an art museum, there's something for everyone in this world. You don't need to be an expert on every piece of art that exists—just look at it and enjoy!
Art is a way to express yourself. It's also a way to have fun, learn new things, connect with others, and relax. Find the artists whose work speaks to you (yes...they're out there), then give them your time and attention. If you like what they do, let them know!
You can still enjoy art even if you don't have money to buy prints or originals.
You might be wondering how you can enjoy art if you don't have money to buy prints or originals. The answer is simple: you can still participate in the world of art by visiting museums, galleries, and exhibitions. If this sounds too daunting, there are more options available. You can also visit online art galleries that sell copies of famous works at affordable prices. And finally, there are plenty of museums with free admission that accept donations from visitors who want to support their efforts!
Art that is popular isn't necessarily bad, and vice versa.
It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that your taste in art is superior to everyone else's. But it's important to remember that not everyone has the same cultural background, or even a solid grounding in the fundamentals of art history.
Think about it: if you're an artist and you produce work that appeals to many people but doesn't resonate with critics, does that make it bad art? No! It just means that your audience may be different from those who attend gallery openings and review exhibits (if these things even still exist). And if we take this idea one step further—that the enjoyment of any given piece is subjective—then we must also acknowledge that there are no objective criteria for beauty or quality.
In short, there will always be people who prefer works created by others simply because they don't know better; but this should not stop us from celebrating our own tastes and making them known as widely as possible in order to educate others on what we believe constitutes good art.
Art doesn't have to be pretentious, it's okay to just enjoy it!
We love you. We know you're trying to be classy and sophisticated, but art isn't just for the upper crust. Art is a form of expression that we can all appreciate and enjoy.
Art can be enjoyed by people of all ages, people of all levels of education and social classes. It's okay to just enjoy it!
Conclusion
I hope that's an attitude you can take away from this article as we head toward the end of our discussion. Art doesn't have to be pretentious, it's okay to just enjoy it!
