Opening the Door to 'Your Own Way of Seeing' - A Sensitivity Classroom Created by a Former Art Teacher
Summary
Yukiho Suenaga, a former art teacher and art education practitioner, has published a new book titled 'Regaining the Power to Live in the Present: A Classroom of Sensitivity' (Diamond Inc.). After her previous work 'Art Thinking for Those Over 13 Who Find Their Own Answers' gained significant traction in the business world six years ago, Suenaga posed a new question: What exactly is 'your own way of seeing' that exists before 'finding your own answer'? The book conceptualizes this as 'sensitivity' - the ability to receive the world's influences with one's entire body - and explores how to open the door to sensitivity through six chapters featuring art appreciation and exercises. Using Monet's paintings and anecdotes from her young daughter as material, the book shakes readers' fundamental assumptions about 'seeing,' 'knowing,' and 'thinking,' offering a fresh reading experience for modern people prone to rigid thinking patterns. At Aoyama Book Center, the book is off to a strong start, benefiting from the success of its predecessor.
