Abstract
Using an eye-tracker to record gaze patterns of viewers, this exploratory, interdisciplinary study examined how the use of priming questions affected the gaze patterns of museum visitors as the visitors looked at paintings and one sculpture. The data was shared with participants to engage them in the research process. The study demonstrated that gaze patterns changed in relation to the type of question the viewers were asked. Reflective questions elicited an open gaze; fact-finding questions produced a direct gaze dependent on the configuration of the image. Viewers enjoyed becoming aware of their biological behavior during the aesthetic experience of viewing the paintings.
