They may also be struck by the sight and texture of the brightly colored paintings and collages lining the walls of the Hilton and Howe buildings. The latter houses Perkins' <a href="http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=2WLG7X0dPDoNAK1YJpE0yA"><b><span style='color:#050D9E'>Secondary Program</span></b></a>, while the former has been the home of the <a href="http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=sx7y2ppZHbAXzmSH0tc-CA"><b><span style='color:#050D9E'>Deafblind Program</span></b></a> since the 1970s.<br><br>At first glance, art seems like a very visual medium. In fact, Perkins art teachers are frequently asked how they teach visual arts to students who are blind, deafblind or visually impaired.<br><br>One way is by giving students access to art. As early as 1889, Perkins students like <a href="http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=DG4-fXdJy1E7Vo4C51vm4A"><b><span style='color:#050D9E'>Helen Keller</span></b></a> were invited to take "touch tours" at what was then the Boston Art Museum, today the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA). Keller was able to touch priceless works of antiquity (and in some cases, plaster casts of original art) including a Roman-era statue of Venus.<br><br>Keller wrote of her visit: "General Loring (superintendent of the museum) himself came in, and showed me some of the most beautiful statues, among which were the Venus of Medici, the Minerva of the Parthenon. Venus entranced me. She looked as if she had just risen from the foam of the sea, and her loveliness was like a strain of heavenly music."<br><br>Through the years, Perkins students have also been given hands-on opportunities to create their own artwork. The fact is that most art easily moves beyond the visual. Working with clay, making textural collages and incorporating scented materials are just a few of the many ways that teachers have made art accessible to students.<o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:#F1F1F3'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=right width="48%" style='width:48.0%'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://secure2.convio.net/psb/images/content/pagebuilder/fy16-history-and-happenings-may-image-001.jpg" alt="A student who is deafblind models clay figures."><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="48%" style='width:48.0%'><tr><td style='padding:22.5pt 12.0pt 15.0pt 12.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:16.5pt'><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#646469'>Carol, a student in Perkins' Deafblind Program, models clay figures based on poses learned in dancing class circa 1964.

Today, Perkins students of all ages and abilities take part in art-making activities—from painting with fruits and vegetables to creating award-winning mixed-media pieces.<br><br>"Art instills in the students a sense of self-esteem, and they enjoy being able to work with their hands to create something," explained art teacher Rocky Tomascoff. "In here, we're working on many of the same goals, skills and objectives that they are in other classes; it's just with different materials."<br><br>Since 2002 Perkins has partnered with Boston's MFA to organize regular <a href="http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=1Ayn3ihMQgu5EK0Nvmi0ag"><b><span style='color:#050D9E'>"Feeling for Form" tours</span></b></a> for Perkins students.

Wearing thin latex gloves, students were able to literally touch history—running their hands over an ornately carved burial sarcophagus and a Roman bust of a bald man.<br><br>Regardless of whether a student is blind, deafblind or visually impaired, visual arts play a critical role in building confidence, self-esteem and learning meaningful concepts and skills.<br><br>In addition to developing cognitive and physical skills, the process of creating art pushes students' limits, stretches their imaginations and gives them a chance for self-expression and another means of communication. It's no wonder then that art is everywhere at Perkins.<o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:18.75pt 0in 0in 0in'><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="90%" style='width:90.0%;background:#050D9E'><tr style='height:45.0pt'><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;height:45.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=qpfDpd_GqGtRcjTCuTMZaw"><span class=hide><b><span style='color:white;text-decoration:none'>Discover How Perkins Makes Art Tangible</span></b></span><span class=reveal><b><span style='font-size:1.0pt;color:white;text-decoration:none'>Making Art Tangible</span></b></span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></div></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%' id=templateColumns><tr><td width="50%" valign=top style='width:50.0%;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr><td width="50%" valign=top style='width:50.0%;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr><td style='padding:30.0pt 0in 22.5pt 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=600 style='width:6.25in'><tr><td width="50%" style='width:50.0%;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="50%" style='width:50.0%'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1028" src="https://secure2.convio.net/psb/images/content/pagebuilder/fy15-history-and-happenings-jun-sec2-then.jpg" alt="Photo of a needlework page with a horse from a bound volume of letters, writings, origami and sewing crafts completed by Tommy Stringer between 1896 and 1897."><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table></td><td width="50%" style='width:50.0%;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=right width="50%" style='width:50.0%'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1029" src="https://secure2.convio.net/psb/images/content/pagebuilder/fy15-history-and-happenings-jun-sec2-now.jpg" alt="Photo of Perkins alumna, Amy Caliri, working on a needlepoint artwork."><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></div></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 12.0pt 15.0pt 12.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><i><span style='font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#050D9E'>Artistic Vision<br><br></span></i><b><span style='font-size:22.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Then & Now<o:p></o:p></span></b></p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 12.0pt 30.0pt 12.0pt'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-line-height-alt:16.5pt'><span class=hide><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>On the left,</span></b></span><span class=reveal><b><span style='font-size:1.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>In the top image,</span></b></span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> a needlework page featuring a horse from a <a href="http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=F6eHh99ZEDHojnGa0JsFbw"><b><span style='color:#050D9E'>bound volume</span></b></a> of letters, writings, origami and sewing crafts completed by <a href="http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=169xu4Xy_-GQbeRgQLqU5w"><b><span style='color:#050D9E'>Tommy Stringer</span></b></a>, a student at Perkins who was deafblind, between 1896 and 1897.
