Art Beyond Sight Book

I continue to read the book Sarah recommended. It is a great read, even if you only wanted ideas about the effects of Art education on the rest of the curriculum.
I am really enjoying it.
Details of the book are here: http://www.amazon.com/Art-Beyond-Sight-Creativity-Impairment/dp/0891288503. However, it is a bit expensive - over 70 Euros, and only a paperback. So finding it in the library is a better bet.

There is also a website about art for people with visual impairment athttp://www.afb.org/
and an online biography of Helen Keller at http://www.afb.org/mylife/book.asp?ch=HK-intro.



There is also a selection of videos on at http://www.youtube.com/user/artbeyondsight

Deciding not to Decide

Have decided not to think about this project for a while, to let the excitement of the recent exhbition  (RDS Collective Contemporary Arts Nov 5-7 2010) subsides.

Have also decided not to think specifically about this project until I have collaborators to work with, so that we can have an element of equality in the process.

I got a list of ideas from my friend Sarah, but I'm not going to read the list until I'm at the next phase of the project.

The only thing I am keeping in mind is that at this stage, my goal is to learn to see with my Hands.

Sarah also recommended I read Art Beyond Sight. I got it in the library on Tuesday, and find it excellent. However, it weighs several kilos I would say, so I have bought a small bag with wheels to carry it - small to make it difficult for me to add further weight.
