Do you like to go to the gallery?

If I had the chance I would definitely go. I find galleries fascinating because there's a wide range of paintings and different sculptures and I think it would be interesting to explore around and educate myself about the artist ideas and how they portray their thoughts.

✓ For example, if I have a lot on my mind and I don't want to scroll on my phone, I draw and doodle random stuff and it does help my mental health.
The phrase 'a lot of my mind' is incorrect; the correct idiom is 'a lot on my mind'. This is not a tense issue but a fixed expression using the preposition on. Replace 'a lot of my mind' with 'a lot on my mind' to convey having many thoughts or worries. Suggestion: Learn common idiomatic prepositional phrases (e.g., 'on my mind', 'in my head').
× I find galleries fascinating because there's a wide range of paintings and different sculptures and I think it would be interesting to explore around and educate myself about the artist ideas and how they portray their thoughts.
✓ I find galleries fascinating because there's a wide range of paintings and sculptures, and I think it would be interesting to explore and learn about the artists' ideas and how they portray their thoughts.
Errors include missing plural possessive and unnecessary word choices. 'Artist ideas' should be the plural possessive 'artists' ideas' to show ideas belonging to artists. 'Different' before 'sculptures' is unnecessary when 'a wide range of paintings and sculptures' is clear. 'Explore around' is redundant; use 'explore'. Also change 'educate myself about' to the more natural 'learn about'. Suggestion: use plural possessive for ownership and avoid redundant words. Suggestion: Review possessive forms and natural collocations (e.g., 'learn about' not 'educate myself about' in casual speech).
× If I had the chance I would definitely go.
✓ If I had the chance, I would definitely go.
Missing comma after the conditional clause 'If I had the chance'. This is punctuation rather than modal misuse, but it affects the correct form of the conditional with 'would'. Insert a comma after the introductory 'if' clause. Suggestion: when an if-clause comes first, place a comma before the main clause.
× Yes, I would love to learn some art.
✓ Yes, I would love to learn about art.
'Learn some art' is unnatural; 'art' is an uncountable noun in this context and we typically 'learn about art' or 'learn art techniques'. Replace 'learn some art' with 'learn about art' to convey the intended meaning. Suggestion: use 'learn about' with subjects or specify 'learn art' with a direct object like 'learn to draw'.
× I didn't take formal drawing classes, but I remembered we have art class during elementary days and yeah I picked up some basic skills there and over time I gradually learned to draw and doodle and I still do it until now.
✓ I didn't take formal drawing classes, but I remember we had art class during elementary school, and I picked up some basic skills there. Over time I gradually learned to draw and doodle, and I still do it now.
Several tense and wording issues: 'I remembered' should be present 'I remember' to state a recollection, or use past continuous consistently. 'We have art class' should be past 'we had art class'. 'Elementary days' is unnatural; use 'elementary school'. 'I still do it until now' is ungrammatical — use 'I still do it now' or 'to this day'. Also break into shorter sentences for clarity. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense for past events and use natural time expressions like 'now' or 'to this day'.
