Art wakes up and stirs emotions. How does this happen? This is the big question that Dr. Katherine Cotter, psychologist at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, asked in a lecture in the Art Seeking Understanding series. Her new research, published in The Empirical Studies in the Arts, shows how tightly related are thoughts and feelings we have about art when we visit museums.

The V&A Storehouse allows access to 250,000 objects, bringing art storage out of hiding and into public view, redefining museum experience.

In this exclusive course, Jerry Saltz will teach participants the essential techniques for better observing and appreciating art, transforming how one engages with various artworks.
