B
The art you choose to display in your home tells a story. It represents who you are and what you care about most. "After all, if there's any place in this world that you can be the main character of your story, it is at home," says independent author Kimberly Drew.
When talking about how to find and choose an artwork for the home, Drew isn't so interested in what makes up "art". Instead, he thinks the important question is: "What kind of stories do you want to tell for yourself in your home space?"
Art is all around us in the everyday objects we keep. If they mean something to you, they can be art. Then think about how you might display them.
Next, let the art speak to you and your space. Social media, magazines, and television shows have endless advice on how to get a perfect home. While they're good for inspiration, there can also be a downside: They can push us to create the "ideal" home for external approval. Remember that art in your home is about and for you. You deserve all the beauty and joy it brings.
Buying art can sound confusing, but it's like buying anything else. Think about your budget and who you want to support. See if there are auctions that are attached to social issues you care about, or the artists whose work is benefiting an organization you support. You can also ask the artists directly, find out where they are showing next, email them or follow them and interact respectfully on social media.
Where you put the artwork in the home depends on you! But you can do something to keep the artwork safe. Try not to hang anything where the humidity(湿气)levels are high. If you're hanging a piece of art in a sunny room, make sure you'll protect the piece from direct light. And make sure the hanging device you use can support the weight of the piece.
