Even though a lot of art galleries and museums are free in the UK，many people seldom visit them for fear that they won’t understand the art on display.They are afraid that other visitors may be more knowledgeable and that everyone else there understands what the artworks mean.But this simply isn’t true.Everyone is equal in front of an artwork and there are no wrong answers.
Modern art can be particularly difficult to understand and appreciate but enjoying an artwork is a natural gift.Do you like it or not？Do you want to find out more or not？It is really that simple.
A very well-respected art historian，Ernst Gombrich believed that a viewer completed the artwork，and that part of an artwork’s meaning came from the person viewing it.So，you see—even if you don’t have an art history degree，there really are no wrong answers，as the viewer is completing the artwork.
But there are things you can do to understand and appreciate art a little bit more.When I look at an artwork，I undertake a visual analysis.I look at the formal elements—color，texture，size.Imagine we’re viewing a painting.I look at the color；I look at the brush strokes；I look at what is being described.If you’re looking at artworks in a gallery，read the wall text at the side of the artwork.If staff are present，ask questions.Ask your fellow visitors what they think.Asking questions is the key to understanding more.But above all，have confidence in front of an artwork.If you are appreciating an artwork，then you are the intended viewer and what you think matters.You are the only critic that counts.
