Have you ever had a weekend without knowing what to do? Let me suggest this amazing idea for you. I’m sure you are going to like it. Why not go to see some art galleries?
Enjoying a gallery is an excellent option to connect with art. If you have never attended a neglected museum or gallery, here are some tips from Galerie LeRoyer to help you enjoy an art gallery:
#1: Become a detective
Become a detective and research a little of the artist’s history. During your research, you will find a brief biography of them, which will give you a reference and context about what they manifest in their works of art.
#2: Go through the gallery or room quickly
Quickly going through the gallery will help you to quickly identify the works that captured your attention. Respect yourself; there could be some piece you do not like, but try to understand what you are seeing.
#3: See the work of art at a suitable distance
This will allow you to perceive it from various angles. Have you already identified the works of your liking? Now enjoy them, dedicate the time you want to appreciate it, give yourself time to feel, to understand what you are seeing, and decipher what it says to you.
#4: Only see the ones you can see and be contented
Do not worry about reaching to see the whole gallery, at the end of the day your mind will stay with those that captivated you.
#5: Make sure you dress comfortably
Choose a comfortable dress; this is very important if you really want to enjoy your visit to the gallery. If you are a woman, remember you do not want to spend a lot of time standing while carrying a giant bag full of things that you will probably won’t need. So, try to make it simple and choose comfort above all.
#6 Choose a good time to visit
Try to go in quiet hours, or days with little flow of people, so you can enjoy a little more. If you have children, do not take them by force; otherwise they will be restless. Make a combined plan with some activity for them later. You need to settle the kids so you can enjoy yourself with the arts.
#7: Always follow your mind: If you like a work of art, take it home.
