Touching the art

A New Kind of Art Experience

The visual arts can be as emotionally powerful and as easy to access as a movie or novel. With the Touching the Art approach you’ll discover a new way to experience art.

Start now with my Free Museum Guide featuring Six tips for enhancing your next art museum experience.

Learn The Approach for Yourself

In ‘Touching The Art’, you get a practical, “How-to” guide to making your art experiences more engaging and poignant.

In ‘Stories in Paint’, you get a curated selection of 50 favorite artworks to enjoy “Reading” with Luc’s guidance.

I teach a variety of interactive classes online, some focusing on learning the method and others focusing on discovering individual artists. You can also join me for more laid-back (and free) "Salons" to simply enjoy sharing art together.

"Up until your presentation, I thought I could obtain this kind of fuel only from music and fiction."

Dean K.

"We went to the museum and had a phenomenal time using your method. I really have never enjoyed art the way I did this weekend, so you've opened up a whole new way of enjoying life that I never had before."

Steven S.

"This book is amazing! I will never look at a painting or sculpture the same way. I had no idea that a work of art could be experienced in such a moving and personal way."

Jason M.

Author, Teacher and Tour guide
For the past fifteen years I've given tours at art museums from the Louvre to the Legion of Honor. In 2006 I started teaching art appreciation to elementary and junior high students And in the summer of 2009, I decided I needed put my ideas down on paper, and so I wrote Touching The Art. Today, I teach literature and art appreciation online with Literature at our house, I give tours all over the U.S., and recently published my second book, Stories in Paint.
