"Close study of art can train viewers to study thoroughly, analyze the elements, observe, articulate them succinctly, and formulate questions to address the seeming inconsistencies." Show your young learners how the study of art enhances one's perception and communication abilities. Watch as educator Amy E. Herman walks you through a close review of Rene Magritte's Time Transfixed and exemplifies her use of critical thinking and analytic skills. This is an excellent resource to use at the beginning an art class or at the start of a unit on art analysis.
