Not exactly clear from your post if you're interested in making art or just appreciating it. I feel like making art is definitely a good way to learn how to appreciate it, as you will uncover how hard making art is and you will train your eyes to spot details. You'll learn to see signs of quality and cool techniques that will enable you to appreciate more works.

I'm a programmer trying to become a better artist, specifically with drawing. I've seen all kinds of strategies about how to do that, but the one suggestion I've seen that is repeated by everyone is do the thing regularly. (Note that I specifically didn't say 'practice' regularly, since often practice and leisurely drawing/painting/etc. are disjoint. You're in this for the long term so you don't want to burn out by losing sight of what about it brings you joy)

I actually run a small daily art club online on a website I made called Streak Club. If you're interested in having a little space to keep track of your progress then I'd recommend giving it a shot: https://streak.club/s/8/daily-art-club
