Have included an excerpt from an article about a combined service and
art exhibition and thought there was an interesting take on
description. In a recent talk Joel Snyder held he talked about how the
describer learned to be more observant. Here at a art exhibition they
"force" the visitors to become describers by having a "blind guide" with
them.
"...To help viewers evaluate and understand the meaning behind the
visual art, guests were asked to escort a "blind guide" through the
exhibit who asked visitors to describe what they saw in detail.
"The blind guides are to help people see," said DuVall-Francisco, a
contributing artist as well."
