Skills You’ll Gain
- Looking-at-art skill
- Courage to ask questions
- Talking small talk
Course Description
How to look at art? That is the question.
Often when we look at an artwork we think: where should I look? What should I see? On which elements should I focus?
We doubt: why does everyone around me say that this particular masterpiece is so great?
What is worse, we doubt ourselves: I don't like this piece. Is something wrong with me?
Let's be honest, it is rare to have art history lessons at schools – or to have a decent amount of hours of it. We have a right to feel intimidated when nobody has taught us before how to look at art. This free course will give you courage and a few tips that will make you feel better when looking at art, regardless of whether you’ve had any art expertise before or not.
Seeing art is one thing – but there is also feeling art. We will talk about this as well. Because – as with all fruits of human creativity and genius – art is something that can be perceived both intellectually and emotionally.
We hope that this course will make you enjoy art more and make you feel comfortable with it. Even if you have enrolled in our other courses, check this one out beforehand. Enjoy!

Kurs jest inspirujący. Nigdy wcześniej tak nie patrzyłam i nie analizowałam obrazu, nie zadawałam sobie takich pytań jak w kursie. Nie rozumiałam sztuki. Kurs w prosty sposób pokazuje jak patrzeć na dzieła, jak je interpretować i przed wszystkimi dostrzeganie naszych uczuć jakie się w nas rodzą patrząc na określone dzieło. To jest bardzo interesujące. Polecam

Eu adorei o curso, infelizmente ele é pequeno de mais, fora isso ele fez bem seu papel. Sai desse final de curso com uma visão melhor do mundo artístico, eu me senti muito interessado com esse breve estudo da arte!.

Great course. I found the tips helpful as they'll give me the confidence to look at art with a new enthusiasm to identify the many aspects of each piece and to learn into my feelings about the pieces and attempt to understand the artists' intent.

Excellent little introduction utilising the baroque, realism and abstract Impressionism. These made a very good balence with contratsing approaches to analysing each work.

Excellent course. thank you. I will continue to your other courses and continue my museum going with your guidance on how to look at art.
06 Jan 2025
Great paintings, great questions. Thank you for emphatizing the time we need to spend with art! I found parallel things with poetry in which I am more familiar, so I have some clue now.
02 Jan 2025
It was a very helpful course for beginners, who want to understand more about art and find out the important keys of a pice of art by themselves. Thanks for preparing this course free.
02 Jan 2025
Lots of useful tips for someone who has zero knowledge of art, I recommend :)
30 Dec 2024
Very nice way to introduce yourself in art!! Thank you!!
24 Dec 2024
Really enjoyed the course! It made me see art in a way I have never experienced before. I was surprised at how many details I was able to learn just from answering the questions in each lesson. I look forward to doing another one soon!
14 Nov 2024
Very formative, thorough and effective whilst not being too intense or boring! Just like the type of lesson I wish I had during my school years!
Thank you for your time and your help to let us appreciate art as it should be appreciated!

Great content! Simple, straighforward, and full of compassion for the learner.
Thank you!
10 Jul 2024
I loved this course. To look at an artwork and see what the painting is communicating us hits different when you know what question yourself about it! Thank you!
19 Jun 2024
These questions help me a lot to slow down when seeing a piece of art, which makes it even more worthwile. Thank you!

11 Mar 2024
This was awesome!! Thank you very much for sharing this course for free ☺️ lots of effort is made creating this course.
Could only be produced by someone who adores art and painting.

Brief but full of substance.

Adorei o curso! Para mim que sou leigo em arte, foi uma oportunidade de conseguir um roteiro de estudo. Obrigado
07 Feb 2024
Brisk, eye-opening and enriching
31 Jan 2024
This course opened my mind to how to really see an art. I liked it
23 Jan 2024
For a brief introduction, the course covered the basics well. The aspects of observation are well-defined and made easy to remember by applying them to actual works of art.
17 Jan 2024
Me pareció sumamente interesante, especialmente el análisis de la obra de Artemisia. Muchas gracias!
17 Jan 2024
Excellent course ~ I really enjoyed it and have been able to easily apply what I learnt when looking at art!
02 Jan 2024
This isca lovely course well structured and concise for seasoned art l lovers and new comers to the discipline. I totally love Manet.

I think that it's important one thing to ad, they arte can make You happier?
24 Dec 2023
Not bad
14 Dec 2023
I really like the provided questions, which started my thinking-process when looking at the artwork. I would have loved to read an example of someone describing one of the artworks in the course to get a feel for it.
01 Dec 2023
its a very pleasant and actually engaging course for the beginners! i dont actually perceive myself as one, but i was curious if that course could give me any new perspective on viewing art and well it did! i remembered parts that i forgot with time and after some break in engaging with art, but also got me a little more involved in actually trying to interpret field painting (i believe thats the type shown?), i usually skipped those at art exhibitions, but now i do understand them better :))
25 Nov 2023
Enjoyed reading your class. It’s spot on. Great for beginners and some good reminders for old timers!
23 Nov 2023
Very interesting and useful! Thanks
19 Nov 2023
Short but all-inclusive. Helped me to appreciate art even more.
07 Nov 2023
Nice tips!
06 Nov 2023
I liked the simplicity of the presentation
Reassuring actually thanks for this introduction
29 Oct 2023
i didn’t think i would be leaving the course with this feeling or this impression but it just really enjoyed so much. i used to think art is a personal vision of life, for example, when i was in museum i remembered thinking that you should immerse yourself into the painting to feel it more. i also used to be taking great attention to the colors without my knowing and this course made me realize a lot of things. i am really glad i have taken this course because i think it can help me be more and more attentive and open to art in general. the second masterpiece used actually convinced me that i can appreciate the view of any type of art. i am so excited to go back to museums and explore art in a new way. thanks and have a nice day, your app is amazing !
24 Oct 2023
A nice summary of what art is, and how to appreciate it. The same goes for music (another artform). It's just what it means to you and how it makes you feel.
02 Oct 2023
As simple as it is enlightening
23 Sep 2023
It was a short course, but very helpful. I enjoyed it a lot!
19 Sep 2023
thank you! I feel more confident while looking on the pieces of art
18 Sep 2023
Funny and boosted my confidence, thanks
18 Sep 2023
I'm a little intimidated by art. I really liked the no right or wrong way to look at art it presented. I also liked the idea that art takes time, we need to sit with it, and not let our initial impressions determine our response. Be curious.
17 Sep 2023
I'm always stressing over learning every historical and technical detail behind a painting. It's good to be reminded that art is feelings, and the rest can come later.
06 Sep 2023
Very simple course but very insightful! I really liked! The exercises were very helpful. I was able to SEE Rothko. Thank you.
06 Sep 2023
Thanks for this free course! You have selected two very interesting and different artworks to compare what we feel about. Great work on questions, they intrigued critical thinking skills, which important in every aspect of life.
01 Sep 2023
Great introduction not to feel intimidated and to trust one’s own opinion or feelings when watching a piece of art.
27 Aug 2023
It was informative, a really good beginner's package. I liked the audio narration and the artpieces too!
26 Aug 2023
A really nice start into the art of seeing!
26 Aug 2023
great tips!
24 Aug 2023
Very interesting and helpful, compact and well focused, leading to a sensual perception of art. Thank you!
23 Aug 2023
Straightforward and helpful.
23 Aug 2023
This short course was a very good opening and emphasized the most important elements of enjoying arts: the subjective and the tangible components. I would appreciate a short introduction to the psychological effects of different colours and the main rules of composition and how they can construct unconscious feelings of balance, harmony and beauty.
21 Aug 2023
concise & useful
19 Aug 2023
Quick, concise and valuable course to help deepen the experience for art lovers without art history experience!
17 Aug 2023
Very motivating and easy to understand cours.
Well written and smartly put together.
Thanks for making it free !!
16 Aug 2023
Basic but thought-provoking course if you are really interested in Art. The inclusion of audio gives you the opportunity to watch the pictures without being scrolling to read the questions. I was expecting more about the how to interpret the composition, maybe with more examples, but for a first approach is fine.
16 Aug 2023
I enjoyed the engaging and simple style in which the course is written. It provides easy to follow rules for anyone who wants to enjoy art to develop their ‘aesthetic muscle’. I believe that appreciation of art, visual or otherwise, is a necessary element of a good quality of life. Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
15 Aug 2023
I enjoyed this little mimi course’s objective for people not to be intimidated by art! That is a tremendous goal. I also love that through the DailyArt app we are gently guided through the slides I sat through during my art history lessons (3years of them) and, I now know the paintings and the artists like never before. Thank You Suzanna!
14 Aug 2023
Very good! Super quick introduction to the basics. Would like more art examples.
11 Aug 2023
Ten mini kurs sprawia, że będzie się swobodnym ale też skoncentrowanym (a nie spiętym) , podczas wizyty w muzeum lub galerii. Pozdrawiam serdecznie
29 Jul 2023
I think the art pieces that were chosen are perfect for a first approach to art. The questions made me had a deeper insight and conversation with myself about what I was observing. Thanks, I liked it a lot! (And I love the app btw!)
28 Jul 2023
It is an excellent way to start studying art.
26 Jul 2023
I like that this course makes art looks more easy to understand.
14 Jul 2023
Fine overview! For sure it will help us seeing and filling art!
Thanks
12 Jul 2023
It was a quick and short introduction on how to look at art. Even though it was short it gave a good perspective and questions that one should ask himself while looking at some artwork. I would suggest anyone who is into this kind of material to take a course.
06 Jul 2023
Good breakdown for anyone to look and enjoy art.
05 Jul 2023
Thank you for this - simple and very approachable for someone not steeped in the field, but who has felt drawn to pieces of art.
05 Jul 2023
Often, "learning how to look at art" involves learning how others see particular works. This lesson was refreshing- essentially a list of questions, and I feel I got more out of the example works than I ever have out of an art work
02 Jul 2023
It's a clear and we'll explained course that gives you useful questions to begin digging into art having a starting point. Thank you! ❤️
27 Jun 2023
ıt was pretty good. course ıs so short but ıt was really pleseant. there could be a lot more different masterpıeces but ıt wasnt bad ın the end. thank you for thıs course. please do ıt ın other languages too. we need more courses lıke these...ın free :P
27 Jun 2023
Good advice. I need to keeppracticig!
25 Jun 2023
Minimal but usefull
24 Jun 2023
I feel much validated that there's no one way to look at art. I am way more interested now to enroll in your courses. Thank you! I hope tgere are more interactive free courses as well .
23 Jun 2023
I liked it.
I never thought of art this way and would have liked to have the opportunity to have more art to try those questions with. I found it really interesting. Thank you!
17 Jun 2023
Nice course! Really enjoyed it. I love to do immersive experiences with art in general, not only paintings. And I think that the lessons presented here apply to every kind of art. Thank you very much for this opportunity.
17 Jun 2023
Loved it
16 Jun 2023
Gracias
16 Jun 2023
Excelente curso, para sensibilizar al espectador y brindar confianza del mismo.
07 Jun 2023
Made me feel I’m not so bad at art appreciation.
06 Jun 2023
It was great and informative. Thank you. I wish there was some videos involved too. Thank you so much.
04 Jun 2023
I think this is a useful introduction to looking at art.
01 Jun 2023
Thank you, I will take more time to see, experience and notice the emotions. I love history, so I will make sure that I understand the history and context of the painting was done in so I could more accurately understand the artists viewpoint.
30 May 2023
I like the brief and to the point description and using simple vernacular language. I hate it when I have to look up every other word. Thank you!
25 May 2023
Short but interesting
06 May 2023
I see artworks everyday, it has been the best way to learn; step by step and reading your magazines D courses. Thank you.
30 Apr 2023
Great mini course, particularly because it invite us to immerse into
the paintings and see them through our own experientes and feelings.
04 Mar 2023
Thought-provoking. Really encourages us to spend time with the paintings and look deeper into them.
22 Dec 2022
Thank you
20 Dec 2022
Kinda turns out that I knew more about Art than I thought I did. And I guess that's part of what the course teaches you; have a little faith and confidence in yourself, because you're on the right lines - and over the course of the 5 or so short lessons, that's just the message that is given. Trust yourself, give yourself (and the artist!) a little time, open your eyes, open your mind, and maybe along the way your heart will open too!
14 Dec 2022
Very nice. Add more courses please.
07 Dec 2022
I always thought that I had to see or interpret art like others. With this course, I learn that is correct to have my interpretation and opinion of art pieces.
This course is easy and quick to understand and do.
12 Jul 2022
A short but encouraging course :)
09 Jul 2022
Very good beginner course. Makes art way less intimidating and I like the fact that you reinstated multiple times that it's about our own personal experiences, memories, and feelings :)
11 Jun 2022
I liked it
08 Jun 2022
Very informational. Thank you!
13 May 2022
This course is awesome. Love it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world, i like the app and all of your work. Greetings from Panama.
08 May 2022
Excellent! Makes me want more!!!
07 May 2022
Outstanding
04 May 2022
Great confidence boost to help you relax more and enjoy art rather than try to run for the meaning first. Art seems more approachable now!
01 May 2022
Curso bem curto, mas muito rico. Conteúdo leve e de fácil entendimento. Muito proveitoso!
01 May 2022
Hi,
I got into art when my daughter went to University to study History of Art, she has since completed her Masters so she is now an MA. I took her to Florence, to me that s the best place for anyone to go who is thinking about art as a career. It certainly opened my eyes, I couldn't get enough of it The Ufizi opened up a whole new world to me.
I know art is very subjective, I have seen all but the Rothko paintings in real life and was absolutely bowled over by them.
But Matisse Cut-Outs Oh no! Infant School stuff IMHO.
01 May 2022
Thanks for the most basic and simple information.
29 Apr 2022
Objetivo e claro. Adorei.
24 Apr 2022
Great place to start!
20 Apr 2022
Nice and short course.
Only thing I would improve is a full example of an expert’s opinion how they see those pictures.
20 Apr 2022
It is a great starting point for someone who wants to know more about art but doesn't necessarily have an artistic background! :)
19 Apr 2022
Give examples of the basis observations that you recommend
18 Apr 2022
Opened my eyes.
12 Apr 2022
Nice course
03 Apr 2022
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your course has moved me from an unfocused, undefined approach to a place where i now feel that i have some tools to apply when viewing any work of art. The allusion to meditation was particularly useful because it indicates that the tools i needed were all at hand but that there was still much to learn by continued and focused practice. My take-away is that it's all very simple but none of it is easy. You've instilled in me the confidence i need to enjoy the practice. How long will it take? Oh, surely the rest of my life! Thanks again.
31 Mar 2022
Very good overview. Very simple, but not condescending.
28 Mar 2022
Simple but substantial.
20 Mar 2022
Thanks, this is a great help!
12 Mar 2022
I liked It. Very basic but its simplicity makes It Easy to understand. I am a fan of daily art
Gracias Zuzana!
10 Mar 2022
An encouraging approach to looking at art encapsulated in clear uncluttered language . Thankyou
09 Mar 2022
Thanks!
09 Mar 2022
I learned something new because of this small free course. I like it:)
03 Jan 2022
Straight forward and to the point.
Art is personal & it's up to each individual what they make of it!!!
03 Jan 2022
Really usefull and interesting, thank you all!
01 Jan 2022
Great beginning! Eager to begin the other courses!
28 Nov 2021
Very good overview thank you
27 Nov 2021
This was good fun!
22 Nov 2021
I like it very much. It helped me to realize that art takes time to process through my brain and emotions. Know I can have a better perspective and understanding about it
17 Nov 2021
Thank you!
08 Nov 2021
very helpful short introduction
07 Nov 2021
Wonderfully suggestive. Thanks you.
Julie.
07 Nov 2021
The course was great! The only thing I would recommend is to have the masterpiece following the text (just like an Ad) so we get to observe it better while we read.
05 Nov 2021
Great course!
03 Nov 2021
It’s simple but helpfull.
Welldone!
Thank you !
29 Oct 2021
I like the way the course tries to encourage the curiosity and interest in seeing art more closely. I wish there was one art piece where the artist presents her opinion about her observations at the end. Apart from the little clues in brackets we are presented with what/where to look or see or feel. One demo would give that feeling that a person who knows how to see art has 'seen' these things, might shake up some things in our brains. Maybe this is it for a free course, casual and just a tiny nudge towards art. Well, I hope the paid courses are a bit more technical and 'case studyish'.
28 Oct 2021
Its a good course and I found arts help me ease my mind. I really like the course and its a an opportunity because its free.
28 Oct 2021
Its a good coourse and I found arts help me ease my mind.
26 Oct 2021
A crash course that is written in a light tone with easily digestible chunks that challenges the learner to immerse in a few pieces of art.
22 Oct 2021
Excellent! It really has changed my way of looking at art. Thank you very much!
20 Oct 2021
I really liked it, it was very helpful and in just 20 minutes I learned so many things and I now know how to look at art:)
21 Sep 2021
Perfeito.♡
20 Sep 2021
Short and accessible, a good intoduction at how to look at art.
18 Sep 2021
It was very useful with such a brief summary of how to look at art. Thank you so much! :)
14 Sep 2021
Excellent information given in an instructive and entertaining style.
30 Aug 2021
I found the Course useful and interesting. I must say that I remain in my adversity towards modern and / or contemporary art; with some exceptions (e.g. Picasso / Bacon). During the course you commented on two paintings: one by Manet and one by Rothko. While I think I understand what Manet wanted to express: mainly the feelings that the girl at the bar is experiencing, particularly in the relationship with the gentleman in front of her (she is tired, annoyed and bored by what the man is telling her , but she cannot put into words what she feels), staring at Rothko's painting for a long time I received no sensation and the painting conveyed nothing to me.
29 Aug 2021
Thank you for the lesson
29 Aug 2021
It was a good course. The questions asked by author in the course really help the individual to see, feel and understand the art.
29 Aug 2021
Excellent short intro, great for those who find art a bit challenging.
19 Aug 2021
Thank you for making this free course available. The only suggestion I would like to make is to redesign the website so that the painting is posted on all the blank space on the right and moves with the scroll. It would be a lot easier to read the text on the left with the painting scrolling also (still visible) making it easier to apply the lessons/exercises without having to move up and down. Besides that, it was very good. Thank you.
19 Aug 2021
Muy práctico! Me queda revisar los conceptos técnicos de la pintura, pero es muy claro
17 Aug 2021
Great lesson!
I don't know a thing about art history but this lesson taught me to appreciate art in my own way. I 'd really need help on the second painting, tho. It will be better if you can lecture about the painting. I'm really eager to know about it. Overall 10/10
19 Jul 2021
Amazing course more free courses are required like these
19 Jul 2021
LOVE IT.
18 Jul 2021
The course was pleasant and engaging—a very provocative start for people who are beginning at art. I would add a basic and formative questionnaire to enforce what was learned.
18 Jul 2021
The course is concise and to the point. Very useful for art noob like me. It saves me from being bewildering and diffident when looking at artworks. Thank you! A suggestion is: I really hope to hear your feelings and opinions on the shown modern art. It would be a great sample for beginners to understand and learn your way to perceive modern artworks.
18 Jul 2021
Thanks for this mini course, very useful!
I will try to practice the techniques of seeing a piece of artwork.
It seems seeing a picture is like some kind of communication between the painting itself and the viewer, very interesting.
17 Jul 2021
This is really helpful
17 Jul 2021
Very helpful and enjoyable course. I will carry these recommendations with me on my next museum visit!
13 Jul 2021
Nice basic information about how to look at art. Great for its price :D
10 Jul 2021
Very basic ways of LOOKING are clearly listed. I love this list.
I appreciated the emphatic distinction between SEEING the picture and LOOKING at it.
01 Jul 2021
Excellent mini journey into the interpretation of artwork... Feelings or how one feels about the art often comes at the end of it should be your way to conclude the artists work based on all the elements you have to consider and take note of when looking, enjoying and enjoying the feeling you getting from the artwork.
01 Jul 2021
I love DailyArt!
25 Jun 2021
Extraordinary! Have seen the Manet picture before but never as today under your guidance. Had been quite indiferent to it. Today was struck by the way the painter 'treats' his main model. Kindly & objectively. Also drinks labels are somewhat protected advertising not allowed ? Need to go back rushed it a bit. So much more to see.
With Rothko. Apologies but always admired his courage ! To do his own thing so to speak. It still durprises me that I like it. What is there to like or dislike ? Oh dear am I a lost cause ? Wish me well.
Thank you for your guidance.will put it to good use that is for sure.
Yours, honestly & very thankful, evelyne
15 Jun 2021
Thanks, this is short but sweet! Perfect for when I show artwork to my elementary school aged students! THANKS!
12 Jun 2021
I enjoyed this short course. It gave me some new perspectives and insight into how to view art. My only wish is that it had been longer - maybe a paid for, more in-depth course on the subject?
12 Jun 2021
very helpful introduction to Art.
05 Jun 2021
I'm finishing docent training for a local art museum. We've spent months evaluating art, both historically and using principles and elements of art. I love this very short intro, because it incorporates the basics of what we need to know to look at art.
03 Jun 2021
Very good. Realy conected me more to the pictures. On Manet painting I really got emotional. Until now I didn't understant what captures me so much about this painting. Thank you very much for the experience.
03 Jun 2021
Loved it! Succinct and powerful.
25 May 2021
It was helpful but I expected to see more practical questions, engaging the learner more than just giving tips, Good luck. I liked you already :)
24 May 2021
Very interesting
24 May 2021
Very nice way to start getting know more about arts
24 May 2021
Easy enough to commit to. I love visiting art galleries and museums whenever I travel or have a chance to. This simple course reminds me of my passion
23 May 2021
If you have a blog I’d love to follow it. Clear questions, categorised well and spaced beautifully. PerhAps consider placing the image above each set of questions to save having to scroll up and down. Thanks. :-)
11 May 2021
Overall a good introduction. I felt that it would have been more enticing to a person unfamiliar with art to have provided some interesting background and context within which to view these pieces. Especially the Manet. A description of the late 19th century world of Paris and what this painting depicts might be the very thing that would capture the viewer's imagination. I can't say the same thing about the Rothko, I just question the choice of this work. Something more representational might tempt people to consider the subject of "abstract" art as being more approachable.
10 May 2021
It was actually very informative and helpful! Thank you so mich
04 May 2021
I want to learn, and now, in my retirement, I have the time. I appreciated the overall framework of questions one needs to consider when viewing art. I am looking forward to exploring the available courses.
02 May 2021
Nice simplified course on taking un art. Perfect for those of us with an interest, but not the degree
01 May 2021
very good
29 Apr 2021
I can't thank the team behind DailyArt enough for creating this course and making it free and accessible. I was expecting some tips on how to look at art but I didn't expect I would be fully immersed in two masterpieces and feel so emotional. "Art takes time" and "trust the art" really resonated with me. I don't know how they did it, but in just a few minutes I've learned the tools on how to appreciate and truly look at art. Thank you thank you thank you.
27 Apr 2021
Thanks for the course, It has what I needed. Thanks to my now girlfriend I've been hugely influence to pay more attention to aesthetics and art. Specially, Polish artists. This course just helps me keep getting into this field in a more comfortable way.
A great complement to a Philosophy student, that's for sure.
25 Apr 2021
A continuar ,estos conceptos son valiosos y
sirven para ver las diferentes obras en su contexto.
Es clara la diferencia entre el arte moderno y el clasico
18 Apr 2021
Great guide for beginners
13 Apr 2021
I really appreciate the content and approach. I know I'm going to enjoy taking more of your courses.
13 Apr 2021
The most important thing I learned from this course that art needs time. Also trying to see rather than just look. Discovering what the work means to me, rather than describing or defining the work for someone else.
05 Apr 2021
Great start, very nicely and entertaining written with interesting information. Would have been nice to get some "reveals" about the presented masterpieces.
31 Mar 2021
Helpful and interest for everyone that needs a little bit of confidence and tips to look and think in art.
29 Mar 2021
Thanks! The course is fine just to have a little contact with art when you dont know much about the subject.
29 Mar 2021
A very nice course for ones, who starts getting interested in art and in possible ways to conceive it. I think it would be great to have the course expert answers to at least some of the listed questions in the very end of the course, so that the student can have something to agree or disagree with, instead of being “on his own” with his answers.
For me, I’m doing one more thing: searching for some small part of the painting or other piece of art, which looks ideally depicted to me. Then I can just keep enjoying it for some time, while gazing on the color, lines, proportions and so on:) In current painting for me it is a glass with flowers in front of the woman.
28 Mar 2021
Very helpful, thank you :)
26 Mar 2021
Easy to comprehend
26 Mar 2021
Fantastic for new to art students, anyone with a keen interest and knowledge of art will not gain anything as its a very basic introduction to what you should feel and look for. I will happily sit with my child and go through this and recommend to friends that dont understand art from impressionism upwards
23 Mar 2021
W ciągu 3 lat zajęć z historii sztuki uczyłem się o artystach, nurtach i okresach w sztuce. Słuchałem lub czytałem interpretacje całego mnóstwa dzieł. I nikt przez cały ten czas nie powiedział mi, że mogę patrzeć na sztukę po swojemu. Kurs dał mi masę frajdy, a także rozpalił moją ciekawość w dziedzinie samodzielnego poznawania sztuki. Szczerze polecam.
12 Mar 2021
Very helpful. Thank you.
07 Mar 2021
It would be nice if there were some answers to the questions about the pieces as an example of a line of thought. Also a couple more of art works with some comments and simple analysis about it as an example. Thanks :)
06 Mar 2021
Excellent introductory course to art and also an excellent choice to provide a free mini-course. I would like to see a tiny bit more content regarding the paintings, perhaps some answers to the proposed answers, so newcomers can have a sense of comparison of what to think about. But t'was a great read and contemplation time, can't wait to jump to the following courses :)
01 Mar 2021
Mi è sembrato un po'troppo breve per cercare di capire l'arte per me che sono un neofita. Avrei gradito alcune considerazioni critiche sui quadri rappresentati. Ad es. L'ultima opera inserita nel periodo contemporaneo mi ha fatto capire che l'autore ha voluto rappresentare 2 stati d'animo con un colore caldo ed uno freddo ma, siccome quello caldo prevale nelle dimensioni rispetto l'altro, egli fa vedere a chi lo osserva anche i tocchi di pennello, le sfumature, la possibilità di alternare anche con ombreggiature la parte colorata in rosso. Forse, in quel momento, l'autore voleva rappresentare il suo stato d'animo nella vita.
27 Feb 2021
Informative and fun!
21 Feb 2021
I enjoy everything you do and how you do it.
21 Feb 2021
I really like the statement about meditation actually when I goes deeper into the picture I have a sense of detachment from reality...
14 Feb 2021
Love it, makes me to encourage myself for my feeling what the art is evoked me.
13 Feb 2021
Thanks for the opportunity to learn more how to see arts.
13 Feb 2021
I liked the overview very much! I am an Engineer very new to Art, so the introduction was detailed enough for me.
As an example for new students of art, I would have liked to read answers to all the questions, even if they were interpretations or feelings from the author. It would give us examples of how an art piece could have different reactions.
Art also includes other forms, like sculptures or ceramics. I would have liked to see at least five other pieces that evoked diverse thoughts and feelings.
12 Feb 2021
Very good simple introduction. A helpful starting point.
10 Feb 2021
Excellent, practical tips for everyday use! I do believe that looking at art with these tips can be therapeutic :)
04 Feb 2021
I think it's great how you share your knowledge with these courses, that are very easy to understand and to apply. Thank you!!
31 Jan 2021
Muy bueno como una primera mirsda para apreciar el arte, espero con ansias una versión más profunda para seguir aprendiendo. Gracias por el curso.
31 Jan 2021
Good starter. A few more examples clarifying what we could be looking for (eg examples of how movement is expressed) would have been helpful.
26 Jan 2021
A very good course for beginners! And I'm so happy it's free and accessible!
26 Jan 2021
Very nice as a preliminary course of how to see Art. It certainly will enhance my perception and the pleasure in the future.
My only comment is that would be nice to have your answers for all the questions made during the course. In my opinion it will help still more the learning...
26 Jan 2021
It's a good start but i was looking for more answers rather than questions because most of the time i know how i feel about a painting but i don't know exactly why is it considered to be a masterpiece ,and what makes it so great .nonetheless i enjoyed this course very much ,thank you .
14 Jan 2021
Nice, a good thought-provoking introduction. I only wish it had been a little longer!
08 Jan 2021
The course made me want to study a piece of art rather than just look at it. Very worthwhile in just a few moments time. Would have printed the basic hints if program allowed it.
03 Jan 2021
This basic course was useful as it has confirmed my intuition to pick up only a few pictures in the gallery and spend a lot of time at each of them in a "structured "way described in the course.
01 Jan 2021
I enjoyed the tongue in cheek tone (Aren't you glad you didn't pay for this course; put down your phone). I love the impressionists and I know this Manet, seen it many times (tho only once in person), but your questions did cause me to look at it more closely than ever before. I am now intrigued by the one patron all in white sitting amongst the other darker ones. My only suggestion for layout is that it would be good to be able to see the questions and the painting side by side. I found having to go back and forth between the two a little distracting. Othewise, bravo!
31 Dec 2020
Good intro to someone new to viewing art. I am a bit experienced. My only suggestion is that though your point was viewing art is a personal thing, I think it would be interesting to point out examples of things the viewer may not see with just cursory look. With the Manet for example, I was fascinated when someone pointed out the reflection in the mirror - after I'd viewed it several times. Thanks!
30 Dec 2020
The matter is more intriguing of what you could think at first sight.
Yuo ask the right questions and they resonate. good
17 Dec 2020
A modern art course would be great, or how to understand modert art... Thanks! I love your site!!
14 Dec 2020
Truly wonderfull mini-beginner-course. And that for free. Easy to read writing style and humor.
11 Dec 2020
Thank you for this free course.
10 Dec 2020
I love this mini course. I teach art history. You have given me many ideas on how to structure my classes so that my students can have a deeper understanding of what they are looking at. Your exercises will be extremely useful in helping them to get more out of art that does not immediately appeal to them.
Thank you
06 Dec 2020
Really enjoyed this will definitely enroll in the next course
06 Dec 2020
For me this was a refresher course. I liked the concise and specific points discussed. I find the newsletter informative and educational. Thank you.
05 Dec 2020
Very useful for an Artnovice. Thank you.
05 Dec 2020
Super simple course, but not easy. All the right questions one should ask himself in front of an artwork.
04 Dec 2020
I liked it so much, I appreciate how welcome it is and how you target the exact problem I and many other people have, trust in our opinion toward how we look at art. I will have loved to have a bigger and extended course, but I couldn't pay it just yet. Thanks again I'm going to practice my new steps and develop my confidence looking at art.
03 Dec 2020
It was pretty good, ı wish ıt had been longer
01 Dec 2020
I love art. At museums, exhibitions, galleries, etc. I stop, look, and move on to the next piece. This short course has taught me not just to look, but to see the art. To notice details, how the piece makes me feel, to appreciate the colors, the emotion of the artist. Highly recommend this course for a brief but essential guide to appreciating, understanding and expanding the art we see.
01 Dec 2020
This course gives so many specific tips for interacting with art rather than just looking at it. It demystifies the painting so that each person can relate to it in their own unique way. I am looking forward to learning about French Impressionist paintings in the next course now!
30 Nov 2020
It's short, but to the point. It will help me to look at art in a different way from now on
30 Nov 2020
Thank you i really like it.
28 Nov 2020
It was good. However more examples would have been appreciated.
28 Nov 2020
Interesting course, simple but great information to enjoy art even more. It gives confidence and I have to give credits to the writer! Very funny and well written, thank you.
Last but not least I appreciate how Daily Art can bring so much joy and doesn't push to much to buy. I don't have a lot of money, but you don't make me feel poor, plus what you get for the prices here is amazing! Something worth saving for
28 Nov 2020
Found it really helpful. As someone who likes abstract expressionism, I found it quite helpful.
26 Nov 2020
Would love a certificate
24 Nov 2020
I get your idea of appreciating a work of art of which we are not familiar. I would appreciate a guided video approach and them information about the artists.
23 Nov 2020
This is the first step in understanding art.
Thank you!
23 Nov 2020
I just took the course and found it to be a good way to reconnect with art after so many museum free months due to the COVID 19 quarantine.. While the information wasn't new it was a very helpful and satisfying reminder of the basics in how to best experience artwork. Thank you..
23 Nov 2020
I love it so much! Thank you. I've learned a lot from this course, which I never knew before. I thought the artists are tricking us when we loom at their artworks, but I've learned to trust in it and look what it means from the artist and mine. Thank you for giving this course for free! I've appreciated art because of this. Have a nice day and God bless!
22 Nov 2020
Good intro, yhankyou.
22 Nov 2020
Simple and basic concepts to find meaningful understanding of pieces of art
22 Nov 2020
Great Introduction course!
Although you believe there is no right or wrong in art, I would have enjoyed some "solutions" in form of suggestions to the questions. To find out something new, something I might not have seen/felt yet.
22 Nov 2020
Great questions to elicit thinking about the art.
18 Nov 2020
Definitely thought provoking and opened the door to a new way of approaching an art work. Would welcome more on abstract modern as still have a problem getting the most from such artwork!
13 Nov 2020
I really love this course on how to look at art. It is a great introduction to provoke thinking and show different perspectives on seeing a painting:) It helps me to learn that art is very personal that could resonate various feelings of audiences. It also helps the artists to think from a viewer's perspective and may assist them with composing their artwork to have an impact and its unique value:)
10 Nov 2020
We are long-time art aficionados, but this course was thought-provoking; had never thought about what noises we might hear if the art work were to come to life. Excellent!
10 Nov 2020
Awesome to make these courses more readily available, especially as we are quarentining. I am looking forward to seeing what else i can learn.
10 Nov 2020
Insightful- thank you
08 Nov 2020
Thank you for this great free course. Especially I liked practical parts!
06 Nov 2020
A very nice, concise, and easy introduction to art appreciation though nothing really new I couldn't figure out.
By the time I saw Manet's Bar at Folies-Bergère couldn't but to remind historian David Olusoga words in BBC's documentary series Cilvilisations:
https://twitter.com/bbcarts/status/1088484622906855424?lang=es
05 Nov 2020
A good introduction; thank you.
The course writer asked a lot of questions. As a final section to this course, I would have liked her/him to share some personal answers.
02 Nov 2020
Good
31 Oct 2020
Not much. But worth the price.
28 Oct 2020
I'm not a professional art person, but I always been attracted by artworks. This mini course gave me the push to go deeper in this misterious world called ART. Thank you for that!
27 Oct 2020
Obrigado pelo curso. Aprender a apreciar uma obra de arte requer tempo e muito estudo. Quando visito museus eu pesquiso antes sobre algumas obras e vou em busca delas para apreciar seu esplendor e detalhes que não vemos nos livros. um abraço desde o Chile.
24 Oct 2020
Thanks, that was fun. I'm an artist so it gave me a refresher not only on what to look for, but what to aim for.
24 Oct 2020
Congratulations!
A brief but complete and powerful way to start to immerse in the world of art. Thanks a lot.
24 Oct 2020
Thank you very much
24 Oct 2020
Great App
20 Oct 2020
great course)
19 Oct 2020
This quick, introductory, and free! course was an excellent introduction to looking at art. The three pieces of art work - two historical and one contemporary - were well chosen.
18 Oct 2020
This course enables me to face any work of art!
17 Oct 2020
Great lessons! Thank you! I confess that I was waiting for some analysis on the artworks. I learned about the personal relationship with the images and that there is no right or wrong, but I was still curious about your vision.
17 Oct 2020
This course makes you want to see the paintings in real, not only through your screen.
15 Oct 2020
Short and sweet
13 Oct 2020
The suggestions made me look at the artwork differently.
13 Oct 2020
Nice, short introduction to viewing art.
13 Oct 2020
Surprisingly short but to the point, I thought it would be videos but to read and have time to look at the paintings was better... maybe if one could have made them bigger, to focus on them.
Thank you
12 Oct 2020
The course is great. The concept is clear, it has everything you have to mention about the main theme, and it is simply to follow it.
11 Oct 2020
Lot's of good questions posed Anxious to continue with the other lessons. DailyArt has been such a pleasure to my life during these times. ab
11 Oct 2020
Interesting training that gives ideas and opens our mind. Thanks!
10 Oct 2020
I love this course. It's exactly what I need to better enjoy art!
10 Oct 2020
It is realy very short and basic course. There are some tips but I expected something more-how to interpreted art, what is important at, some important clues, one deep case study. The course is too shallow.
09 Oct 2020
Thank you for educating me. I feel more confident now and I will certainly apply all the suggestions I was given to the next masterpiece I will look at. Please keep adding courses. So far, I love them - In fact, I just bought all of them
08 Oct 2020
<3
08 Oct 2020
Covers the basics. Now I want to know more about the composition of the painting and what the artist intended to express viz emotions
06 Oct 2020
Nice start! Gives some real good starting points for looking at art.
06 Oct 2020
Basic and simple, but so helpful. Looking at art is really like meditating :)
05 Oct 2020
Perfect! It shows how looking at art is something that can be done by literally everyone. People usually shy away from making commentaries on the piece of art they are seeing, or sometimes they feel like it "means nothing", but there is always so much more to it. Anyone can relate to a piece of art on an emotional level, and that's what beautiful about art. There's no "right" or 'wrong", there's only "what are you thinking?". Love the course!
04 Oct 2020
Great little course! Just what I need to make me curious for more Art. Thank you.
04 Oct 2020
Good course. Clear and concrete. It gives us the basic (but not less important) steps to enjoy art.
03 Oct 2020
I really like this course!
Most of all, the questionts
And the most important thing in art: TIME.
Thank you very much.
03 Oct 2020
I really appreiate how the couse is organized and how useful it is. I have got no doubt that my next stop in a museum or gallery of art will be totally different, and because of the course it will.
I just woul like to get a certificate as clousure gift (waiting). Daily Art is amazing in everything, tho.
27 Sep 2020
Great little intro! I like the set up and text quality. It makes me want to try the other courses and I don’t mind pay for for!
27 Sep 2020
This is a lovely, simple (but not simplistic) little course. Perfect for anyone wishing to begin to understand how to interact with art. Well done!
27 Sep 2020
Great introduction with lots of things to think about.
26 Sep 2020
It'd be even more intresting if in e.g. Manet's work you'd give some tips like e.g. did you see the green shoes from the girl above the crowd
26 Sep 2020
Great, now I undertand deeper how to see and not to look the art , piece with better feelings.
26 Sep 2020
I really enjoyed the guiding questions when looking at art, and I do feel more trust in my opinions and how I look at art. Thank you for the lovely course!
25 Sep 2020
If you want to learn how to look at art an understand why are particular pieces popular, that's your course. Although, a little bit more about looking at modern art would be nice.
25 Sep 2020
I enjoyed the short course and appreciated the basic intent however I would have liked to see some further exploration of the two art pieces. Perhaps a few ideas of what one "might see" or feel to get an understanding of the differences that can be garnered from a single piece.
24 Sep 2020
I've never actually read or learned anything about how to look at art, so this was a good starting point!
24 Sep 2020
Thank you for the course. In fact, even though the course is short and written things are quite easy familiar, this little "manual" really helps, especially with the genre paintings. In particular, I like the "Feelings" section, an approach to imagine myself as a participant in the picture. I have already turned to this "immersion technique" several times.
23 Sep 2020
I like it as an intro to other courses. This is true of course and I've been doing this type of 'seeing the art' since always. I know this is the general course but to tempt me to continue with other I would love to see your angle at 2 paintings presented in this free course. To show what one might expect from more detailed courses.
21 Sep 2020
Good, On the computer it was easy to translate the entire page, from English to Spanish
21 Sep 2020
I liked it a lot! Very helpuful for people that does not have any preconcepts about art.
19 Sep 2020
Loved the course: short, helpful and easy to follow.
19 Sep 2020
fantastic course thanks alot. it was great.
19 Sep 2020
Thought provoking. Very enjoyable.
19 Sep 2020
Very brief, but to the point. Makes you think and that is what all good art should do.
19 Sep 2020
thank you for these instructions, and for the free course
19 Sep 2020
Lesson learned.... advance toward a work of art in the loneliness of our own truth.
17 Sep 2020
It is very nice! Do you have any plan to make video lessons?
17 Sep 2020
I wish there had been some description of what one might notice about the painting after seeing it. For instance, the girl's expression, sad. The reflection in the mirror of the man talking to her, but in the painting she is looking straight ahead, there is the customers reflection in the mirror with one lady highlighted. The bar lady could be sad that she isn't this woman. Colors are subdued so bargirl stands out.
This way students could revisit painting. Any other possibilities could be included, like why a plate of uneaten oranges.
This is a great app! Excellent. So glad I found it.
16 Sep 2020
A good beginner's course in how to look at art. Despite being short, it is consice and gives useful tips in how to appreciate and feel art. Many feel overwhelmed by what they do not understand and believe to be much deeper and requiring knowledge the person does not have, but with this short course, anyone can feel ready to look at art and experience it. It is a good way to start a possible second course related to the same subject, something more in depth, explaining how art experts look at art, for example.
It could also be interesting to make short videos about it, to engage people while guiding them through the explanation.
16 Sep 2020
Just strikingly enlightening.
16 Sep 2020
Very timely. This gives you the questions to ask yourself and think about. The course achieves its aims of making you look deeper. Perhaps needed a little more in the modern art section.
16 Sep 2020
It offered a really nice and inclusive perspective on art reception.
15 Sep 2020
I loved it! So simple, yet so enlightening! As l was answering the questions and going back to the art work, I would see even more and come up with a different story about it every time. It made me curious to know the people depicted and also the artists! I want to take these questions with me every time I go to a museum! (And I wish I had them when I went to all those famous museums...). I suggest to have the art work fixed on the screen as we scroll into the questions, would that be possible? I think it would make the suggested reflexion easier. And maybe have the same questions rewritten on the Modern & Contemporary Art lesson. Again, just to make things easier. I loved the course!! I would and will recommend it to friends. (And now I wish there were someone I could share my ideas and insights from the paintings we just saw - and listen to theirs!). Thank you Daily Art for making this course available to us!!
15 Sep 2020
Really great starting course! It really opens your eyes. In the end I would have liked it more, if there was some kind of examples or hints for the composition, rhythm, colors, et cetera. For the beginning I always like to see how the professionals do it, to understand how they see and look at the art.
15 Sep 2020
This really made me think and look deeper but I would have liked to be able to view the painting at the same time as being asked the questions I had to keep scrolling backwards and forwards
15 Sep 2020
I really loved the course. However, it would also be nice for the course tutor to put her conclusion out of the masterpieces according to the way of approach which is taught in the course. But this is not a reason to drop star of course.
14 Sep 2020
I really liked it! Objective and approachable. I'll just leave here a couple of little improvement suggestions: to enable the art pieces preview in bigger size and to offer an audio alternative to the text. Thanks!
14 Sep 2020
I think it is a good start. It might be useful to advise people not to try and look at every single piece of art exhibited in the museum. Especially if you have the opportunity to visit this museum several times. Make a selection of the artworks you really want to see and spend time on them.
An other advice could be to look at the website of the museum. Sometimes (more and more) the museum enables you to make an on line tour on the exhibition. Invest some time to prepare your visit.
13 Sep 2020
super simple et complet
11 Sep 2020
I loved this course.
11 Sep 2020
great!
11 Sep 2020
Was what I expected it do be. Both a short introductory guided reflection on how to look at art as well as a way to gage at what level I can appreciate art. For people who don't visit museums, perhaps a helpful hand-hold (though that is personal of course), for people who are museum-savvy (which I do consider myself to be) a reassurance.
10 Sep 2020
The course was really helpful. I love art and sometimes feel confused about the ways of seeing it. Thank you for your free course.
10 Sep 2020
A bit simple.
10 Sep 2020
It would be helpful if you could continuously view the painting while reading the text. Interesting and thought provoking
10 Sep 2020
Really enjoyed this course! Sadly, as you've mentioned a few times, it's rather short. BUT: It did make me curious to try out the other courses as well :-) I've got some helpful insights from this course and I love your excitment on art!
10 Sep 2020
I thought the complement of questions and suggestions for looking at art were invaluable. It was a well-paced and superbly organized introduction. I look forward to implementing these observational questions in your next courses. Thank you, Stephanie
09 Sep 2020
Great course, interesting.
09 Sep 2020
It was a really helpful course, it makes you aware of all of the pieces that make an artwork whole and at the same time it helps you understand the way in which the articles of the magazine are written.
09 Sep 2020
Nice class, I wold make the paintings more close as geners, meaning that going from Manet to contemporart artist is kind off “the hard way” especially for begginers :)
Thanks
S
09 Sep 2020
A lovely little introduction to appreciating art pieces, for complete amateurs. Perhaps it is outside the scope of this minicourse but I would have liked to hear of the writer's personal feelings on the pieces, as an example in how to express your feelings for what you are looking at, which can be difficult at times. Highly recommend for those with zero experience in art looking to start somewhere!
08 Sep 2020
Helpful if you are new at this, but you need to have time and be patient.
08 Sep 2020
Amazing, thank you!

I really like that it's a very brief course but it says a lot! The questions are very interesting. It's the kind of content you will want to check when you want to refresh your mind before visiting a museum or looking at an online gallery. Thank you!

Great introduction to art and easy to understand.

I want the course be more examples. Thank you

Good. A guide for beginners. Would be nice to have the possibility to get some descriptions and emotions from the author of the course after having done with the execises.

an amazing way to understand art even if you're a novice or english isn't your first language (p.s. me encantaría obtener un diploma)

Good first step covering the basics.

Overall - a useful introduction. The course could include more interactive material (audio/video). It suggests that other (paid) courses do not use any interactive materials.
I guess it's intentional but I would have liked more information about the presented artwork to be revealed at some point after the exercises.

Too short course but really interesting and encouraging to learn more about art and how to study it.

Nice little course. Brief and to the point. It will help the novice to understand part of what their seeing. One important thing I would emphasize is context when possible. Example, it’s hard to understand, say Impressionism or Abstract Impressionism for example, without the knowledge of the artist’s time frame, influences, and the events of their day.

Super helpful and great reminders as well as great questions to ask.

great introduction!

The course was educational. I feel it could be improved by giving examples of answers at the end of each lesson, to the questions posed. I appreciate every one will have different ideas, but it would have been helpful to know what experienced art lovers read into the pictures. Am motivated enough to enrol on another course, thank you.

I love this course! I do these kinds of tours with groupe where we SEE and FEEL and relate to art! You did a great job in a very short course! Bravo!

Perfect introduction to art. Thank you!

Very good framework for appreciating art in a way that anyone can follow. Thanks for this quick & useful course!
06 Sep 2020
Good use of art examples and easy to understand. Would be nice to have your opinion of the pieces and explanation/history of them at the end.

Instructions that may sound so simple actually make a huge difference in the way we can experience art. This mini course really shows how small changes in our habits of perception can make us appreciate art beyond just beauty, tackling our emotions as well.

Thanks a lot for this course! I would be glad to attend more free courses...

Nice non-intimidating intro to art appreciation.

This little course pairs very well with the daily art app - I’m writing these questions down and I’ll try to answer them again and again with the art you show me each day. It’s such a comforting thought that art can be about what it means to me, not just to the artist, the critic, and/or the expert. Ty <3

A charming short course on how to comfortably approach and enjoy art. This is a great level-setting exercise with practical advice and a charming writing style. Thanks so much!

The course introduces the general rules of appreciating an artwork to us. I agree with what was written in the course - there is no right or wrong way of looking at art. Our own feelings matter :)

Very concise, to the point, and entertaining! Basic stuff, but indispensable as a foundation for experiencing art at a deeper level. Five stars, though there is no Ingres, which is a shame.
03 Sep 2020
The perfect way for anyone, no matter their experience, to get started at interacting with art, some helpful tips I would not have thought of myself.
02 Sep 2020
Very helpful to understand Art in a easy way.

Fun and interesting course. It really helps if you are not familiar with art. If you are familiar, it gives good points of view and it puts in order your thoughts on what you see.

You really manage to transmit your love for art to the reader: you would make even someone who is totally uninterested in art eager to know more and to learn, let alone people like me, who already love art and always want to learn more! Thank you for this course and for encouraging the reader to ask questions and then try to answer them, the best way to learn! Looking forward to take all the other courses! <3
