-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.
Thank you for all the suggestions!
