Art Museum
Date Night
Have Fun While Creating Connection and Intentional Time Together
Art has a magical way of boosting your mood and strengthening your connection to each other. On this date night, stroll around an art museum, have some fun, and discuss which of the pieces resonates with you.
Kick off your night by cooking dinner or going to your favorite restaurant. Make sure you order or make a delicious dessert!
Begin your Art Museum evening by sharing a delicious dessert. It can be homemade or ordered! Just make sure you take note of the beauty of it!
Head to the Art Museum!
As you walk through the museum, take note of what is striking, what is beautiful, what moves you, and what resonates with you. But don't be afraid to have a little fun! Take note of which pieces you feel would win these silly, made-up awards!
No art museum in your area or budget? Or do you just feel like having a cozy night at home? No problem! Many art museums offer digital experiences that you can enjoy from anywhere. Check out these virtual tours to the Louvre that allow you to explore the beauty of art from the comfort of your home.
Take some time for reflection and connection!
As you’re driving home from the museum, take a moment to reflect on all the things you saw. These discussion questions can help you absorb the beautiful pieces you saw and connect with your partner over which ones were the most meaningful to you.
Keep the date going!
Art can be found and created in our daily lives. Either take some time this evening – or make a plan for the future – to enjoy your own art date night at home! A Bob Ross paint-along, or a fun and messy Jackson Pollock, are both great ways to create a beautiful piece for your home, while enjoying the beauty of your relationship.
Bob Ross Paint-Along
Bob Ross became most famous for his time hosting the beloved PBS show “The Joy of Painting.” His calm demeanor and soothing voice taught us that art is for everyone and even encouraged “happy little accidents” that may happen along the way. This episode, called “Distant Hills,” is a great option for beginners to learn new techniques and discover the beauty that can come from everyday scenes.
Make Your Own Jackson Pollock
Jackson Pollock became most known for his revolutionary “drip” or “action painting” technique, which helped him pioneer the Abstract Expressionism movement. His pieces showed a physical and emotional movement that made him an icon. The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) shows you how, with just a few supplies (and a space you don’t mind getting messy!), you can create your own piece using his iconic style. No brushes necessary!
