Benjamin Franklin Middle School Auditorium

The Wellbeing Speaker Series is proud to present "The Art of Perception." Join us on Monday, February 7 for an engaging evening with lawyer, art historian, and bestselling author Amy E. Herman. Ms. Herman uses works of art to sharpen observation, analysis, and communication skills. By showing people how to look closely at paintings, sculpture, and photography, she helps them hone their visual intelligence to recognize the most pertinent and useful information, as well as recognize biases that impede decision making.

This highly participatory seminar, developed in 2000, has been delivered with great success to medical professionals, the NYPD, FBI, Fortune 500 companies, first responders, educators, and more. The program has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CBS Evening News, and Smithsonian Magazine, among others.

Ms. Herman holds an A.B., a J.D., and an M.A. in art history. Her book, Visual Intelligence: Sharpen Your Perception, Change Your Life , was on the New York Times and Washington Post best sellers' lists. Her second book, Fixed: How to Perfect the Fine Art of Problem-Solving was released this month.
