1. Intro

This painting is one of the most complex and mysterious in the entire history of art.

Or there is another scenario. We are at the museum taking a pleasant stroll – we are walking, looking at the paintings and we spend 3 seconds on each of them. We nod and move on to the next piece. In those 3 seconds, our brain is not even able to realise that we have actually seen something. We thought we had seen something but in fact, we hadn’t. Art needs time. As well as your intellectual and emotional engagement.

In this very short course we will give you some tips that will help you to look at art and actually see it. After this course you will be able to find by yourself that, even if you don’t know anything about the piece you are looking at, you are still able to do something with it. You can look at it with your own eyes and enjoy it. We will also give you some hints about how to make looking at art a process that is a bit like meditation – how to open yourself up to art so it can resonate with you.

And when it comes to hardcore knowledge about genres, movements, artists and so on, we invite you to try out our other courses available on this platform. But for now let’s start from the very beginning.

We warn you, this course will be short but you will need some time to finish it and you will need to ask yourself some questions. This course will require some practice. But you know how that cheesy saying goes: “Practice makes perfect!”
