In this Looking and Thinking tour facilitated by Kimberly Griffith-Walsh, participants are encouraged to share their reactions to selected artworks while hearing and considering the ideas of others. The tour will use a technique called Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS). This is an interactive way of looking at art, which relies on audience participation to collaboratively build a discussion. VTS provides an opportunity to come together and practice looking, talking, listening and engaging with art and each other. In VTS, the discussion is moved forward by your ideas and observations.
