A note on the series
History for Peace has long been focused on ways of bringing the arts into education, particularly towards developing educational resources that draw upon the critical interplay between the arts and historical narratives.
With Art of Looking, we take a step back and hope to address or grapple with questions even more fundamental: What do we recognize as art? What are our ways of seeing? What shapes how we see and interpret?
Questions that we hope:
- for teachers, will smoothen the path to effectively using arts-based educational resources and also to facilitate in drawing the arts into their classrooms in a sustained manner;
- and for students, we hope provide an insightful engagement with art that goes beyond what they are usually exposed to in the school environment.
Through Art of Looking we hope to:
encourage our participants to reflect on their practices of seeing and engaging with art, towards adding critical layers to their existing perceptions of art
offer students and teachers an inroad into some introductory concepts and ideas in art history to better support them in everyday interactions with art, be it neglected images in social science textbooks, in museums or around the street corner
provide a space for our participants to freely engage with each other on reflections and questions related to art.
