I tried to self-study my way into art - futilely for the most part. Your mileage may vary of course, but art didn't really "click" for me until I decided to create some of it myself. Once you start creating art you start realizing that you're walking the same learning path others have taken before you, and this allows you to better contextualize art you see out in the wild. It's a feedback system for me - art I create helps me better understand the how and why of other artists/art, and in turn feed back into the development of my own work, and further understanding, etc ad infinitum (hopefully).
