Improve your skills to observe and interpret: Visual arts as a catalyst (14:45-16:15)

In this workshop we will use contemporary art as a catalyst to improve your observation and interpretation skills. You will be invited to view and reflect on a number of paintings/photos in a gallery space, individually and in peer-groups. Through a three-step process you will expand your perception. The workshop is a demonstration of how the process of using visual arts in learning can work. The workshop will conclude with a conversation on the meta cognitive aspects included in using art in health professions education. 

Facilitator: Jonas Nordquist, PhD. Jonas Nordquist is a senior researcher in medical education at Karolinska Institutet with separate degrees in art history and performing arts. He uses visual arts and dramatic arts extensively in his teaching.
