How going slow can increase your enjoyment of art

慢下来欣赏艺术，为何能让你获得更多乐趣

文字稿

How long do you spend looking at art?

你会花多长时间欣赏一件艺术品？

Studies suggest we tend to view a single piece for just 10 seconds.

研究表明，我们欣赏一件艺术品的时间往往只有 10 秒钟。

If you race around a gallery, you see lots more paintings and sculptures of course, but some experts think we're losing an opportunity.

如果你匆匆逛完一座美术馆，当然能看到更多绘画和雕塑，但一些专家认为，我们也因此错失了更深入欣赏艺术的机会。

"You won't remember it all. You're missing out on building a relationship with two or three works of art. It's feeding into this rushed lifestyle."

“这样你不可能记住所有看过的作品。也错过了与其中两三件作品建立真正联系的机会。这种做法还会进一步助长快节奏、匆匆忙忙的生活方式。”

Now, people are promoting the concept of Slow Art. The idea is to push back against the fast pace of modern life by looking at fewer pieces of art for longer.

如今，人们正在推广 “慢艺术” 这一理念。“慢艺术” 提倡人们用更长时间去欣赏更少的艺术品，以此来对抗现代生活的快节奏。

"Choose a work of art that interests you and don't read the label. Set a timer between five and 10 minutes. Examine where your thoughts go. Follow any emotions or feelings or memories that arise while you're looking at the work."

“选择一件你感兴趣的艺术作品，先不要阅读旁边的说明文字。设定一个五到 10 分钟的计时器，留意自己的思绪会飘向何处，并感受在欣赏过程中浮现出的情绪、感情或回忆。”

"See if there's any sensory elements to it, if it has texture or smells or tastes. And then it might help you if you jot thoughts down, use a clipboard or your phone, just to write thoughts down as you go. And then when the timer goes off, you're allowed to look at the label and see if it matches your interpretations, or if you came up with something completely different."

“看看这件作品是否具有某种感官层面的元素，比如质感、气味或味道。然后，随手记下自己的想法或许会有所帮助，可以用带夹子的写字板，也可以用手机，在欣赏过程中随时记下脑海中浮现出的想法。等计时器响起后，你就可以去阅读作品说明，看看它是否与你的解读相符，还是你产生了完全不同的理解。”

Research shows looking for longer produces deeper emotional responses.

研究发现，花更长时间欣赏艺术作品，往往能激发更深层的情感反应。
