Dialogue

---

Lucien: Want to go to Flower Street this weekend to see an abstract art exhibition?

• Option 1

MC: Okay! But I might need you to explain everything to me.

Lucien: It would be a pleasure.

Lucien: But before listening to me explain everything...

Lucien: I'd encourage you to try using your intuition to understand it, from your own perspective.

• Option 2

MC: Sounds really interesting... but I've never mastered the secret to appreciating abstract art.

Lucien: There's no secret, really.

Lucien: Just open your mind and use your intuition and instincts to appreciate it.

• Option 3

MC: Oh, I wouldn't understand any of it...

Lucien: It's normal to not understand it.

Lucien: Don't go into it thinking you're going to extract some kind of information. You just have to take it in using your intuition.

• Option 1

MC: But is one's intuition always accurate?

Lucien: There is no fixed answer, so its not about being accurate or not.

Lucien: As long as you're someone who thinks about life...

Lucien: then works of art will spark something inside you.

• Option 2

MC: But then everyone will come away with a different interpretation, won't they?

Lucien: Art appreciation is about personal feelings after all.

Lucien: A thousand readers will all have a thousand different takes on Hamlet.

Lucien: And abstract art encourages casting off the shackles of specificity even moreso.

• Option 3

MC: I never thought you'd recommend such an emotion-based method.

Lucien: Of course there's also all the analytical methods of the critics.

Lucien: But an emotional method is more suited for most people.

Lucien: A truly good work of art shouldn't be inaccessible.

• Option 1

MC: Alright. This time I'll try to approach it with an open mind.

Lucien: Good. I'm sure it'll be a singular experience.

Lucien: See you this weekend.

Lucien: Well enjoy some art together.

• Option 2

MC: Then we can share our thoughts and see what differences we come up with.

Lucien: I look forward to hearing... what you make of everything.

Lucien: See you this weekend.

• Option 3

MC: Looks like I'll spend another weekend studying with Professor Lucien!

Lucien: Haha, this time I feel like it's I who will be learning from you.

Lucien: I'm sure you'll give me some new perspectives.
