Today I led two tours, the first a general introduction to the Gallery is given in the hopes of enticing the visitors to continue viewing the art objects. As a guide you hope to engage the guests to look and examine the items you present. The groups today were anxious to entertain the ideas I presented them, agreeing with my remarks and also by injecting their own opinions. It is at that point that the tour becomes alive. You can sense their involvement with the items being discussed. However there are times when the audience is more pensive and less vocal. The groups dynamics are always to be sensed carefully so that you can direct their attention.
