Here's how to go slow with art

April 5, 2017 at 5:37PM

For Slow Art Day on Saturday, the Weisman Art Museum is offering a tour and discussion at 1 p.m. In addition, the museum is handing out cards with questions that can help people tour the gallery using the principles of slow art. Here's what it says:

• Perceive: Before you read anything about the image, use your powers of observation to look slowly and closely.

• What do you notice? Imagine using all of your sense. What do you recognize?

• What feeling do you get from the image? Is there a mood?

• What does this image remind you of? What is going on? What other meanings could there be?

• What does the image make you wonder about? What more do you want to know?
