    I think if your goal is to like something, then you might be disappointed.

    Maybe reframe it. Just try to understand it. What the challenges are, how to solve them, what you can do with the medium, etc.

    If, at the end, you don't like it, that's fine, but you get to leave with a lot more knowledge about it. It might even have the added effect of helping you understand shapes on paper, as well.

      Yeah that's true, learning to understand 3d art more will be good for my art practice in the future.

        Yeah, I had an art history teacher tell the class at the beginning of a semester, "I don't care if you like any of the art I show you this year. I just want you to understand it." And that perspective has pretty much shifted how I view art for the rest of my life.

          Personally I love viewing sculpture, especially contemporary sculpture, I find it fascinating and beautiful. But making it... I have infinite respect for modern sculptors tbh.

            I'm astounded by traditional Chinese jade sculpture. I can't even imagine the skill it takes to identify the shapes of the striations within the jade to make a cohesive piece that works with the natural colors of the stone
