How to walk into a museum and write about a work of art — one way.
<p>You walk into a museum or a gallery from a busy street. You walk around to choose and to write about one work of art for instance, <em>White Center </em>by Mark Rothko, dated 1957.</p>

<p>You are now standing in front of the work. If there is a seat, sit down. Take out your notebook and your pen. Make yourself comfortable. You are going to take the time to observe the work. You are going to take the time to quiet the mind from all the outside noise. Then from your thoughts. Your aim is to <em>feel</em> the present moment. Museums, galleries and churches tend to be silent places for a reason.</p>
<p>You are going to spend a length of time with this painting. This painting may communicate something to you and you have to give it the time to do that. You take the time to read a book to get to know what it is about. You take the time to listen to a piece of music from beginning to end to enjoy it. A work of art requires time as well.</p>
