 Sensory Deprivation Experiment


I was curious how I would approach visual arts if I suddenly lost my sight. I have done blind contours before in class, but this was a first since I was doing this by myself with a blindfold. I wouldn't be basing the contour off of lines that I saw, but rather lines that I felt.

I would like to experiment with this again with different mediums (clay, paint) to see what might be more friendly to the sightless. I was frustrated by not being able to tell where the lines were that I had already laid down, but it was interesting to see what I could observe by touch. Although I didn't depict it as well, I thought it was interesting taking time to notice the intricate curves and bends in the objects I used.
