Image Gallery
*FULL* People and Places – VIRTUAL
Join Hank Bovee, touring docent, for a conversation about three artworks in our Collection. Before the discussion, find a quiet space. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let it out slowly. Now open your eyes, and engage with the artworks in the image gallery; click on the thumbnail for a larger image, and spend about 15 minutes looking slowly at each.
- What’s going on in each artwork? Where are these people, and what are they doing?
- How do you think the people in these artworks feel? What sounds do they hear? What emotions are they experiencing? In each case, what do you see that makes you say that?
- Have you experienced similar places to those in the artworks? How did they make you feel?
Slow Art Fridays
Monthly on second Fridays at 12pm, docents lead virtual, in-depth conversations about a few artworks in our Collection or special exhibitions. The goal is simple: slow down, discover the joy of looking at art, and talk about the experience with others. Topics, artworks, and self-guided questions are posted on the Museum's website in advance for participants, or for those wishing to have a self-guided experience on their own. For more information or to add your name to our Slow Art Fridays mailing list, click here or call 828.253.3227 x122.
