About The Series
In this one-hour, interactive session, explore a single artwork through a series of guided activities focused on deep description and creative responses. This session is part of the initiative Artful Practices for Well-Being, which offers activities and ideas for connectedness and healing through art. Slow-looking techniques can be used with art, nature, or anything in your life you want to get to know better.
November sessions will explore themes of self and place. We will feature a different artwork each month.
The November artwork will be featured on two different program dates. Register below.
Option 1: November 17, 8:00–9:00 a.m.
Option 2: November 19, 5:30–6:30 p.m.
Each session will be led virtually through Zoom, a free video-conferencing software platform. Participants should have access to a computer, smart phone, or tablet with a camera and an Internet connection. Participants may also dial in using a phone line. Please bring several sheets of paper and a writing utensil.
Each session will have software-generated closed captions. There will be verbal descriptions for all images. A PDF of the presentation is available in advance upon request. American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and live captioning are available with advance notice, contingent on service provider availability.
