This innovative audiobook series spans the history of art from prehistoric through contemporary, including some 600 tactile diagrams illustrating major monuments in the history of art. Each volume of Art History Through Touch and Sound comprises a bound book of tactile diagrams and a companion audio narrative. The diagrams utilize a lexicon of seven standardized patterns, enabling the reader to acquire a familiarity with the tactile vocabulary. Additionally, interpretive sound compositions offer alternative ways of understanding a work of visual art's thematic essence or compositional dynamic. Each volume includes art-appreciation activities and a short bibliography.
All volumes undergo extensive clinical trials with blind advisors for content, and accuracy.
