Foreshortening, convergence and drawings from a blind adult.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Esref is a congenitally totally blind man, practiced in drawing. He was asked to draw solid and wire cubes situated in several places around his vantage point. He used foreshortening of receding sides and convergence of obliques, in approximate one-point perspective. We note that haptics provides information about the direction of objects--the basis of perspective.

Haptics and projection: drawings by Tracy, a blind adult.
Outline drawings in a raised form were made by a blind woman, Tracy, who has been blind from very early in life. Highly practiced in drawing, she reports she is largely self-taught. To invoke matters of projection, she was asked to represent an object with faces slanting away from the observer, a fixed array from different vantage points, and sets of objects in depth. In particular, she drew a ...
متن کاملBlind man draws using diminution in three dimensions.
Can the principle of convergence in three spatial dimensions be reflected in drawings by the congenitally blind? A man who had been totally blind since birth was asked to draw scenes such as a tabletop with three cubes receding to the observer's left side. He used converging lines to show the tops of the cubes receding in depth. He drew the cubes to the left smaller than the cube in front of th...
متن کاملEvaluating Performance after Training: the Recognition of Pictures by Touch
The present study evaluated the performance of congenitally blind people at recognizing twodimensional picture by touch, after a 45 hour training. Totally blind individuals served as observers in a haptically recognition task, both, before and after being trained at naming twodimensional raised-line drawings. Statistical analysis showed a significant effect of training with planar configuration...
متن کاملDrawings as a window into developmental changes in object representations
How do children’s representations of object categories change as they grow older? As they learn about the world around them, they also express what they know in the drawings they make. Here, we examine drawings as a window into how children represent familiar object categories, and how this changes across childhood. We asked children (age 3-10 years) to draw familiar object categories on an iPa...
متن کاملTedub: Providing Access to Technical Drawings for Print Impaired People
Digitized technical drawings are available for use at work, for education, and at home. They can be presented and edited on standard PCs with appropriate software installed. One of the most difficult problems of being blind is accessing and using such information. Access and use of graphic information for blind people is problematic. A solution is to produce a textual description of the graphic...
