The Art of Looking: learning to look at art with the Courtauld
An interactive project by Google Arts & Culture and the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, with 12 stories to look at artworks more closely and discover their details.
The Art of Looking is a digital project by Google Arts & Culture and the Courtauld Institute of Art in London that invites you to look at art in a different way. It brings together 12 multimedia stories that start from questions such as “What does art mean?” and “Who is art for?”.
Through works from different periods and continents, it teaches you to notice details, context and interpretations. Among the pieces it explores are works by Van Gogh, Manet and Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
It is not just reading: you can zoom into paintings to see every detail, solve visual riddles, rebuild paintings like jigsaw puzzles and explore the techniques of artists such as Cézanne, Seurat and Van Gogh.
A good plan for anyone who enjoys art and wants to get more out of a painting.
