[Artbeyondsightmuseums] Need Guidance: Good Access to a Painting

[Donnelly Wilburn]

Hi

The artist has given you great access to his painting with the verbal
description.
For me, adding something tactile to the work destroys the original meaning
and concept of the artist.  Rather than enjoying the work as created by the
artist, my experience is with an entirely different medium and entirely
different mental image and experience.

Subject: [Artbeyondsightmuseums] Need Guidance: Good Access to a Painting

I have a painting from a local artist, and I'd like to make it accessible.
I'd like to enjoy it myself, and maybe show others how to make the painting
accessible.

I met with the artist, since he lives in the area. He gave me verbal
descriptions of the painting that I captured with a voice labeler. I'm
thinking that there might be ways to make the painting maybe a bit more
tactile, since it was painted on paper.

The painting is called Sunlit Waterfall, and it shows a scene of Oregon with
forest, a waterfall, and the mountains. The artist gave me a good verbal
description, but I thought it would be good to work with tactile elements.
I'm thinking that I could place the audio labels on the corners of the
original paper, but I'd maybe want to add tactile elements to either the
paper or a model. Does anyone out there have any ideas? Thanks.
