"Art for the Visually Impaired ie sessions focusing on relief / touch / objects - which someone without sight could participate in equally...
Could be just for the visually impaired and / or with interface to the sighted.
In tandem some eductaion sessions / lectures on sight / visual impairment / perception;
The sciennce and experience would be interesting...
A number of galleries' education sections do this kind of thing ( I think)..."
and from simon emery-
"an idea was on the theme of 'the art of looking sideways'.... It would be the art of drawing silhouettes.
It would be roughly the same set up as the self portraits, but you would draw a silhouette on black paper and cut it out for scanning.
You could either get people drawing another person head sideways on (more of a sharing experience) then it is cut out by the model,
or you could have a bright light casting a shadow for another to draw around for you to cut out....
ie you sit down the next person in the queue traces around your shadow on some black paper, then you cut that out as a silhouette.
That next person sits and is draw by the next etc etc...
You would need the same easels but this time they would be to the side, a bright mfi-style spotlight would be attached to the back or the other easel shining across your face to cast a shadow.
It would need some experimenting with, but is very easy to do, so long as there isn't to much light. And that's the problem. How little light do you think you could get away with?.... any how..... if it worked, you would have a drawing area and a cutting out/chilling out area. Drawing would be swift, and cutting slightly slower..."
