The Slow Art Experience (A207)

A – Art History and Appreciation

This course explores a new way to experience art, particularly in museums. Instead of relying on a wall label or joining a guided tour, we discuss what a work of art means to us. We look slowly and share an inquiry into how each of us relates to a work, exploring and sharing our personal connections and individual points of view. All that is needed is your time and attention. Each week, we look at different works of art. The final class is a field trip to the Delaware Art Museum.

This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
