Time is the most precious educational resource we have. So to spend it lavishly by asking students to slow down and look closely at just one thing requires strong justification. This interactive workshop makes the argument that slow looking is an important and unique way of gaining knowledge about the world. It is important because it helps us uncover complexities that can’t be grasped in a quick glance. It is unique because it involves a distinct set of cognitive capacities that are different to those involved in analytical thinking, and different as well from those involved in the acquisition and recall of information. Drawing on Arts as Civic Commons, and other Project Zero frameworks, the workshop explores how the practice of slow looking can help learners of any age develop complex understandings of their worlds.
