  2. I would like to invite you to take an aesthetic journey, where seeing, thinking, listening, feeling and communicating intersect within the space of a work of art.

  4. I will ask you a series of questions that are strategically designed to encourage careful noticing.  You will be called upon to describe, analyze, interpret, sketch, research and write about ideas, details and choices that are present in the work of art. The aesthetic process will help you build bridges across multiple languages and knowledge modalities allowing you to discover pathways into the symbolic meanings within the work of art through the actual experience of exploring similar choices in the construction of your own creative communication. (John Toth, 2007)
