How to learn about art?

0 votes
Okay honestly, I grow up in a society that dont really appreciate arts and paintings (by famous painters like rembrandt). We dont learn those in schools and I dont thimk our musuems here have it, partly because we have a different culture.

So anyway, I really admire those paintings and I want to learn about them and also some of the history behind it but the problem is I don't exactly know how.

Im thinking of looking up one painter online for 3 weeks whenever im free and get as much info as possible then scroll through their paintings. Hopefully I will see real ones someday. Is this a good way?

Also when you learn about painters, do you learn EXACTLY everything? Like EVERYTHING? (Eg: who his student was? In what year he set up a studio? In what year he paint 'insert title'?)

Thank you!

Look up renaissance art that's the best paintings in my opinion. YouTube history channel about art is good too. You can also go to school to study art
