I finally grokked art appreciation in my senior year of high school, when Academic Decathlon had us learn about certain classical pieces and various types of visual art. What a fantastic thing, to be opened up to a whole new world of expressiveness. They took us to my first art museum, a life-changing experience. I ended up medaling in Fine Arts.
