About Learning to Look: Thinking & Feeling Art

As part of the Learning to Look: Thinking & Feeling Art series, we offer private tours of the Cleveland Museum of Art, with principal focus on finding individual works that speak to the client. We will ignore names, dates, and titles, and will select works that speak to the individual from a moment in history. We will then visit each selection to discuss the piece, including its medium, function (i.e., sculpture vs. painting). Drawing upon our own thoughts, we will employ an approach to art that considers what the artist might have had in mind when creating the work. By asking ourselves such questions as, What was the artist going for in this work? Is it a study for a larger piece, or part of a series? What, if anything, does the use of color and/or choice of material play in the overall composition and why did the artist make those choices? Did the artist achieve his/her goal in the creation of this work? How so? If not, why not? The unique and thought-provoking exhibitions that Learning to Look: Thinking & Feeling Art hosts throughout the year will include works by internationally renowned artists and emerging talents from around the world.
