Touch Assignment
A Touch Sensory Board
Beads and String
First Touches
"Touch is a sensory system, the influence of which is hard to isolate or eliminate. Scientist can study people who are blind to learn more about vision, and people who are deaf or anosmic to learn more about hearing or smell, but this is virtually impossible to do with touch."
-Diane Ackerman
Personal Statement
The significance of touch at the beginning stages of development and life is that it affects how an individual will continue to grow and develop. I wanted to create a sensory board that reflected the phenomena of touch that can be used for educational purposes. I used different beads and strings to demonstrate line, an Element of Art, and the different types of line that can be taught by using the touch sensory board. The different types of line demonstrated are long, short, wavy, broken, angled, swirled, horizontal, vertical, curved, diagonal, and parallel.
