Design of tactile aids and models


I started to make haptic aids for blind students of our art courses. Usually, during the discussion, we came across a topic that was not easy to explain verbally and it was necessary to create an explanatory aid. Over time, this path has proven to be very beneficial for everyone. 

One of the last project is the design and production of a special textbook called HANDBOOK for the Aliterra school www.aliterra.eu . 

Thanks to it, blind people can learn not only knowledge from the world of nature in a haptic way, but also gain awareness of artistic concepts such as order, positive, negative, gradation ... They also can easily understand what is composition, abstraction or concept.
