How can people who are blind or visually impaired make art?
There are several methodologies used with people who are blind or visually impaired. People who are completely blind often choose three-dimensional modalities, such as clay or papier-mâché, or raised line drawing boards. Contrary to popular belief many blind people are interested in color. Blind people want to learn the differences between what is conveyed by different colors, not only to understand art, but also to use color in their own artworks. Blind and visually impaired people work in different styles and use different media, ranging from sculpture to photography. People who have lost their vision or have partial vision include famous artists such as Monet and Van Gogh.
