You can also watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7Fbg3-3oqFM Have you ever felt that you lack the words or the method to fully appreciate the art you know you love? Have you found yourself wandering around a museum not knowing what to do, what to look at and how? Our guest in this episode is author and art expert Luc Travers, who not only joins us to put art appreciation on trial but will take you through a live experience where he will show you a unique and simple method to personally enjoy and connect with art. You can find the link to the artwork here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ADaQaKxpBKWTwSlgwdTD8EpZPy7Qy_ukpLK06IYMK5g/edit?usp=sharing Contemplate the artwork in the link above and follow Luc's Instructions so you can enjoy the experience :) Luc Travers got into art through his interest in philosophy and history, which led him to pursue a degree in art history. Still, he felt he was missing out on something, so he set out to design a method that would help people live the artistic experience as exciting as watching a movie or reading a novel. Since then, he's taught art appreciation to elementary and junior high students at the VanDamme Academy and has authored two books: Touching the Art (2010) and the forthcoming Stories in Paint.
