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."
