[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard to enjoy the Louvre unless you know something about art history. Otherwise you get BORED. True for many things in life. [/quote] Agreed. If you don't know who the people in a painting are, what the images represent, when and why it was painted, what technique it demonstrates, or why its considered important--it's just a painting. I don't know how looking at a painting without context teaches you anything. You can enjoy and appreciate the painting, but you're not better [i]educated[/i] for just having gazed at it. If you did tours with docents and read the catalogues that would certainly be a step up, but you need to do a lot of independent reading outside of the museum to get out of it what you would in a class. I love that a liberal arts education is being dismissed by people who don't seem to get what education is....or went to crappy overpriced schools. [/quote]
