Choose an object to explore. Set your timer. After 1 minute, list everything that you notice. After 2 minutes of looking, list additional observations. After 5 minutes of looking, list additional details. How did spending more time looking change your perception and/or understanding of the object?

An object that I choose to explore was my led pencil. For the first minute, I pointed out the obvious like the colors it has, the wording it has on the side, etc. When I did the second timer I started to see more of the texture of the body and the led. In the 5 minutes, it was kinda hard to observe more I was thinking what else can I write down if I already pointed out the obvious of it. I took 2 minutes out of the 5 to think about what else I can observe. What came to mind was the sound it made and what it looks like when I take the bottom with a part off. Taking more time to look at and change my perception really helped me think outside the box from what we are all used to. Helped me see more detail an object has than what we think on a daily.
