what’s the rush?
A recent study found that the average amount of time people spend looking at an object in a museum is 17 seconds. And that includes reading the label!
In this workshop people are guided in looking in a slow and mindful way, paying particular attention to the formal elements in the art – colour, line, texture and form.
This technique has been shown to reduce stress and boost mood as well as enable people to create a strong connection with the object.
Slow looking sessions are varied and can be anything from 30 minutes to 2 hour workshop. Delivered online or on-site.
Get in touch for me to deliver Slow Looking at your venue.
“Thank you again so much for a wonderful and successful session this morning. I thought what you had planned was just right for our students. They got so much out of it.”
