Heidi Zuckerman’s tips for taking in new arts museum

Heidi Zuckerman, chief executive of the Orange County Museum of Art, has written a guide to experience art:

First, take a minute to ground yourself.

Take an inhale, then an exhale.

Consciously relax your body.

Calmly relax your mind.

Then ask yourself the following five questions:

■ What am I observing?

■ Is there anything that seems familiar or reminds me of myself?

■ How do I feel and how would I describe that feeling to someone else?

■ What surprises me?

■ Do I care?
