Tishman, Shari,

Strategies for looking -- Slow in practice -- Looking and describing -- Look for yourself and visit a museum! -- Looking goes to school -- Science learns to look -- Slow looking and complexity.
A museum-originated practice increasingly seen as holding wide educational benefits, slow looking contends that patient, immersive attention to content can produce active cognitive opportunities for meaning-making and critical thinking that may not be possible though high-speed means of information delivery. Addressing the multi-disciplinary applications of this purposeful behavioural practice, this book draws examples from the visual arts, literature, science, and everyday life, using original, real-world scenarios to illustrate the complexities and rewards of slow looking.
