If you've always felt like you didn't know how to look at art, you've come to the right place; bring your lunch and hop on Zoom as we show you a tried-and-true method for looking at things. On the second Monday of each month, join Eskenazi Museum of Art's resident Arts-based Wellness Experiences Manager Keaton Evans-Black to look at and talk about a piece of art from the IU museum collections using the see, think, wonder framework. No previous art experience necessary!
