This interdisciplinary humanities course investigates how we see and experience the visual world, introducing a range of practical strategies for enhancing our observational skills in everyday life. We will approach the topic through hands-on experiences with a range of attentive, close observation techniques as we engage in experiential activities in and around Siena: amateur photography projects, guided journaling, museum visits, neighborhood walks, and more. Students will have the opportunity to create visual experience portfolios to share with the broader GEO community during an online showcase event, inspiring ongoing discussions about the applied value of detailed observation and body-based perception.
