#1011 A or BLooK: seeA Nelson-Atkins Museum visit pro-duced a conscious insight: “looking” is different from “seeing.” After reading that the typical art viewer spends more time reading about than look-ing at the art, I was resolved to look. After a long look at a painting, I was dumb-struck upon reading the description. It told more about the painting than had my own eyes. When we look, unless highly skilled and self-aware, the gaze absorbs a few facts before instantly shifting to inferences and conclu-sions - which we find challenging to differentiate from the facts. Sages and great thinkers of history are called “seers.” They penetrate the surface to perceive meaning, purpose, the essence contained within. All of us can learn to see, but why do so? We’ll walk through the Nelson-Atkins Museum exploring the differences between “looking” and “seeing.” We will retreat to Roselle Court for re-flection and application discussion. Perhaps you’ll find your answer to why cultivate “seeing.”CONVENER: Robin Gross CLASS FEE: $9Sec.A: 1 session; Saturday, June 17; 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM; Sec.B: 1 session; Friday, June 23; 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM; MEETS: Nelson Art Gallery, Roselle Court, 4525 Oak, KCMO; LIMIT: 8
