Thomas Hart Benton's "Hollywood"
An image of American painter Thomas Hart Benton's "Hollywood" is shown on the screen. On the pieces of paper passed out earlier, we are asked to quickly write down a few things that we notice in the image, things that stand out to us. Next, we are invited to get together in groups of 2 or 3 that include people different from ourselves in some way. We each stand on our own pieces of paper, then shift to stand on the paper from another person in the small group. Now we guess what the other person wrote about the image. Notice that even when our guesses are correct, it is still important to talk to the Other to really understand their point of view.
