DON E.GIBBONS:Suggestions for Aesthetic Appreciation and Enjoyment

Don E.Gibbons, Ph.D.

Then next time you read a good novel, or see a quality motion picture, stage play, or television performance, what I am about to tell you will set in motion a number of changes in your artistic sensitivity and responsiveness; and these changes will greatly enhance your appreciation and understanding of what you experience, multiplying your enjoyment many times over.

You will find that all your senses will suddenly begin to feel much keener as the event begins, and that your emotional responsiveness is also considerably enhanced. These changes will enable you to become more and more deeply involved in the experienceas it unfolds; for you will be able to follow it not merely with your sensesal one, but with your entire being.

As time continues, the degree of your involvement in such cultural experiences will continue to increase, as this process repeats itself. And this enhancement of your artistic responsiveness will help you to discover new depths of appreciation in lifeitself, as you come to possess a never-increasing ability to experience life in a richer and more rewarding manner.
