DAY 7 THE ART OF SLOW LOOKING AND A RETURN TO ISAAC JULIEN We spend most of the day at The Royal Academy of Arts to practice the art of slow looking. Jennifer Roberts, a professor of the History of Art and Architecture at Harvard, asks her students to look at pieces of art for 3 hours. So will we. After learning about slow looking from our Fellow, we will first spend time with Isaac Julien’s piece at the RA: The Leopard. Given our experience with Julien’s work on day 4, we will have the intellectual and imaginative equipment to enter into his work. Students are then encouraged to find another piece from the permanent collection to spend their afternoon with. Suggested Reading: Harvard Magazine: “The Power of Patience.
