If you’ve ever wondered how exactly to look at a work of art, you’re not alone! Many of us — even those of us who love art — were never actually taught how to look at a painting or a sculpture. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard ‘I never would have noticed that!’ or ‘I had no idea that one work of art could say so much’ or ‘How do you even know what to look for?’
Centered on the idea that art is a visual language, this course demystifies the process of looking at art and breaks down how art communicates with us.
