HOW TO LOOK AT ART!
The Astonishing Pleasures of Slow Looking
A Course with Arthur Blumenthal, Ph.D.
"Slow looking, like slow cooking, may yet become the new radical chic."
Michael Kimmelman, The New York Times
PLEASE NOTE: Due to our 2016-2017 schedule for the exhibition,"In the Light of Naples: The Art of Francesco de Mura," all European workshops and art tours are on hiatus and will resume in 2018. Look for updates on this website. Stay tuned!
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, Paris and Rome through 2015. A special version is also available to physicians and corporate executives.
