Join us at this distinguished Florida museum on April 18 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Tarpon Springs surrounded by the vitality and joie vive of works by abstract impressionist ABRAHAM RATTNER, one of the mid-20th century's celebrated painters. HOW TO LOOK AT ART offers a way to look at a single work of art for a profound aesthetic experience. We teach students to deeply see, outside of any knowledge or art history, using their eyes and insights alone. Our five step method, while simple, produces powerful results:
1. Stepping into the Looking Space
2. Our Instant Impression
3. Entering the Fresh Mind
4. The Uninterrupted Gaze (Meticulous description)
5. Seeing the Whole
This course is based on ARTHUR'S "How to Look at Art," taught at Rollins College to over 1,000 adult students for nearly 20 years. KAREN'S workshops, concerned with writing about art, also shape the course.
