Presentation Transcript

  1. Looking at artwork critically

  2. “What we are encouraging is the value of discovery, the interest in things beneath the surface, the joy of looking and thinking. It is here that meanings are made, that one’s own life illuminates a work of art and a work of art in turn illuminates who we are and what we do. It is an experience that is powerful and personal, and it makes the viewer alive in a way that no amount of information can. But if you don’t stop, you won’t see anything.” R IK A B U R N H A M The Arts in School Reform
