Spending time looking at and thinking about images is an activity that needs to beencouraged. In The Intelligent Eye, David Perkins proposes doing a “seeing,” or writingfor 10 minutes a stream-of-conscious response to art7 (p. 37). Part of this processinvolves asking yourself questions that focus more and more on specific attributes ofthe artwork, describing what you see—from the literal subject to the formal qualities—and then interpreting what you see. As Perkins says, “By looking longer and in morerefined, informed, systematic ways, we can come to see what at first we missed.”8 Thisapproach allows us to use our intuitive, emotional, and cognitive resources to respondto art, all the while guided by interpretative questions that take us further into theartwork. It can make the experience of looking at art richer.
