The method of teaching painting to the Visually Impaired.

Visually impaired people have certain abilities that are quite unique to themselves, like their sense of smell, touch, and hearing. Mr. Sumeet Patil has used this as the guiding point of his research project which deals with teaching painting to the visually impaired. He taught them to feel and differentiate between forms. To draw the forms on paper he first asked them to make the outline of forms with the help of strings, pulses, fevicol, wool, etc. This way they were able to feel the form. Explaining color to them was a challenge. Nature has all the solutions to our problems. Mr. Sumeet Patil came up with an innovative idea, he related fragrances of flowers to colors.

• Plumeria (champa/Chapha) for yellow,
• Rose for Red,
• Mary gold for orange,
• Tulsi for green,
• Jamun for purple,
• Jasmine for white,
• Multani Mitti for brown etc.

He mixed the fragrances of these flowers in the color bottles and it was very easy for the students to identify colors without anybody’s help.

Eco- friendly green or nature-friendly are terms referring to goods and services, laws, guidelines that inflict minimal or no harm upon ecosystems or the environment. Eco-friendly products prevent harm to air, water, and land pollution. The term blindness is used for complete or nearly complete vision loss. Blindness may cause people difficulties with normal daily activities. Blind people confront a number of visual challenges every day. They see this world through smell and touch only and rely a lot on nature than normal people.

They have realized the mistakes the human race is making in destroying natural resources and using the environment only for themselves. It’s time to change. The blind have decided to give a message to the world through art which is eco-friendly. And they have chosen the almighty as a metaphor to spread this message.
