For someone who has not studied art, looking at a painting or a sculpture especially if its abstract, can be an experience similiar to staring at a work of art done by an alien. Yep, an art major may enjoy paintings, sculptures, prints, designs, photography, and other forms of visual art simply because he has studied art. On the other hand, a non-art major may not be able to appreciate those art forms because he doesn’t understand the elements of art involved.
