For the Art Enthusiast suggest the two of you tour an art
show together. There are plenty of juried shows, auctions and galleries
to start the discovery process of learning more about art. The art doesn’t
have to be limited to paintings. Check out the many avenues such as sculpture,
metal and wood work. Ask each other as you explore “what element
makes that piece say, "I like that one". All art is made of elements
that bring beauty to the beholder. Which element do you prefer; the colors,
the lines, the texture? |
