The Art of Perception: Seeing What Matters Now

Tuesday, 12pm-1pm PST


Prerequisite Note: Due to the virtual setting of this class, you must have computer capability, including internet access, in order to participate. A camera is also optimal but not required.


What do the FBI, CIA, and NATO have in common with AJU? Amy Herman and The Art of Perception.

In her highly participatory presentation, Ms. Herman will use the analysis of works of art as a vehicle to enhance observation, perception, and communication skills. In the pandemic’s shift to a virtual platform, effective communication with stakeholders is of paramount importance.

Participants will reconsider their critical inquiry skills and ability to communicate in a variety of scenarios, both personal and professional. Works of art will also be engaged as tools to understand assumptions that impede best practices and decision making. Prepare to have your eyes opened when you did not even know they were closed.


ALL SALES FINAL. NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES.
