Where to start?

You could start by going to a few museums and gaining inspiration. Or a few art books. What really helped me with my passion for philosophy was incorporating it into every day life. At work I would listen to philosophy lectures, every weekend I'd go to the library and study, I joined a philosophy club.
-Maybe there is an art club.
-Here's a site with art video lectures from some of the best professors from renown universities.
The Great Courses homepage
-Maybe you could look into art history books and learn the philosophy and history behind each art movement.
-Or some biographies of great artists. It would be interesting to find out their habits that make them so great.
-Also, ponder this question for me. I personally want to know this. Does beauty exist without a percipient?
I've taken philosophy of aesthetics if you ever want to talk about the philosophy of beauty.
