<div class="PlainText">Hi,<br>
<br>
I have been working on 3D paintings for quite long. But recently I<br>
thought how would it be to make 3D models of diagrams or structures<br>
around for children with visual impairment. So I created two models;<br>
one is a human heart and the other is a pyramid. Attached are their<br>
pictures.<br>
Description:<br>
1. Human heart: It may be the size of a huge potato and mounted on a<br>
stand. It has blood vessels and veins. The whole body is painted in<br>
flesh and red colors.<br>
2. Pyramid: It is over a foot in height and is colored in dusky golden<br>
light brown. There are two entrances at the bases of 2 opposite sides.<br>
The surface on which the pyramid is standing has real sand glued so<br>
that it could give the real effect. There are two camels towards the<br>
right side of the main entrance: one is standing while the other is<br>
sitting. The size of the standing one must be an inch. When one<br>
touches the pyramid, they can also feel the outlines of the blocks to<br>
represent the stone blocks like that of the real one.<br>
<br>
It has been a great experience to watch children with visual<br>
impairment explore it and understand how these structures look in real<br>
life. I am planning to work on Titanic ship as my next project, but I<br>
don't remember it much as I had seen a documentary on it almost 17<br>
years ago; perhaps I'll take someone's help to describe it to me and<br>
start working on its model.<br>
