How To Draw What A Blind Person Sees
With my hand, I affect the outside, or contour, of a small ceramic jug, a container for cream. I slowly trace the curve of the rim, continuing to the pointed lip. I put down the jug, and pick up a piece of charcoal or a soft pastel. I draw round curves, recreating what I see in my listen'southward eye, moving my hand across the paper, keeping footstep with my inner vision.
Years agone when my vision was better, I used to dear drawing the contours of objects, the human figure, both nude and clothed with my optics. My optics would slowly follow the contours of what I was looking at and so, I would recreate what I saw on the paper.
With the challenge of drawing with a vision loss, I am seeking new ways and techniques to depict. I've been attending several museum programs, and art-making workshops, that help me experiment with new techniques and materials. These programs can be very helpful to those who are bullheaded or who have depression-vision who would similar to explore the world of art.
The Museum of Modern Fine art (MoMA) is providing a series of free lectures and art-making workshops at the Andrew Heiskell Library, for people who are bullheaded or who accept low-vision. The lectures include verbal descriptions and touchable images. I recently attended a workshop at that place called Over, Under and Effectually: Move in Art. With a course of about 13 adults, who were either blind or partially sighted, I explored the move of such works equally "The Dance" by Matisse and "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. We and so experimented with a technique of drawing with a pencil into a soft Styrofoam based textile, where we could feel the movement of our lines as we drew. Then the cartoon was printed on paper, creating a high-dissimilarity prototype of our work.
The side by side program at the Andrew Heiskell Library in this series is called "MoMA presents an Introduction to Contemporary Fine art." Saturday, May eighteen from 2:30 - 4 p.one thousand.
In improver, I'm excited about some other art program to be held at the Andrew Heiskell Library. Seeing with the Senses: A Commemoration of Art for Those with Low Vision and Blindness. This will be an afternoon of art-making workshops, verbal description and touch on tours provided by staff from three museums: The Metropolitan Museum, The Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of Art.
Saturday, June 1 - 1-4 p.m. at the Andrew Heiskell Library.
Some other wonderful program, Seeing Through Cartoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Fine art, gives people with vision loss an opportunity to work in an actual studio environment. Here, we experiment with tactile cartoon methods, such as using puffy paint that lets u.s.a. experience the lines of our cartoon after it dries. Students besides go into the museum galleries, where nosotros perch on trivial stools with our cartoon boards, listening to verbal descriptions of major works of art as we draw our perception of the artwork.
These programs are invaluable to those who are blind or with low vision who desire to experience and create art at the New York Public Library past taking advantage of the expertise and noesis of art experts from the world-renowned museums we are lucky to have in the New York area.
