Give an example from your own life in which you only fully understood and appreciated a work of art after it and the theory surrounding had been explained to you. Now think of a work of art you still dislike/don't understand and assess how an understanding of the theory behind it could change your mind.
A few years back, I watched a documentary on Leonardo Da Vinci and all his works. I found out about the technique, his life, what he strove for, it was a very good documentary. In the end I really understood why he did what he did and I could appreciate his art as the wonderful pieces of historical achievement they are. Unfortunately, it's been a long time since it and I don't remember much of what it had said, which is quite disappointing.
