Travel-quest's art appreciation section is for listing holidays, tours, breaks and residential courses where a significant activity is learning how to appreciate the visual arts, including painting, drawing, sculpture carving etc. This is likely to include visiting galleries, museums, historical sites or studios, studying paintings from the old masters to contemporary artists. These holidays are likely to be lead by art historians or experienced artists and tutors, and may deal with art history as well as the understanding of composition, colour, technique etc. These trips will be suitable for those with no practical artistic skills themselves as well as painters and artists (amateur or professional). Practical hands-on drawing and painting courses are included their own separate section.
