Examine the connection between art, the senses, and well-being in this class inspired by research in the neuroscience of art. Each week, begin in the galleries with slow looking and discussion centered on one work of art and supported by a short reading or podcast. Then move to the studio for guided experiments with watercolor, pastel, air-dried clay, found objects, sound, gentle light, and written reflection. Through mindful looking, listening, creating, and conversation, students will discover how engaging with art can encourage empathy, social connection, cross-cultural understanding, and a deeper sense of meaning.
