I hope that is not a hot take because that was sort of my thinking behind adding the museum adventures to my art month. I knew I would not do a lot of art but hoped that I could find inspiration in visiting it as well.
I also learn so much going to museums with my art friends. And zoos with my animal daughter. It is fun to listen to someone talk about their passion even if it isn't yours too. We all have so much to offer and can learn so much from each other!
One of my best friends out here is an artist, a painter. When we were 19 or 20 I started going to art galleries and museums with her and learned all about various forms of art, painting, technique, composition, etc. She’s “the artist,” but through her I’ve become an “art appreciator.”
This may be a hot take, but I think visiting art can be as enriching as doing art. Especially as you learn to appreciate different types of art expression. Like the basilica and sculpture park right next to each other — they’re both works of art in different forms.
