HOW TO LOOK AT ART!
A PATH TO ASTONISHING PLEASURES
With Arthur Blumenthal, Ph.D.
"Slow looking, like slow cooking, may yet become the new radical chic."
Michael Kimmelman, The New York Times
Our fun, transformational HOW TO LOOK AT ART! workshops are now offered in one- or two-day formats in major North American museums. Developed after decades of watching viewers struggle with art, Arthur Blumenthal's method embraces slow looking, meticulous description, humor, and insightful thinking using the viewer's own visual powers. Here, a student points out a detail to Arthur at the magnificent John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. Loving Art Partnerships continues its outreach in Florida, New York and the Bahamas museums throughout 2009-2010. A special version is also available to physicians and corporate executives.
