TO TEACH BLIND TO DRAW
English Idea Is That Art May Help
the SightIess to CommunitAte
With Outside Word.

one or the many experiments Of the
Royal Drawing society has been to
teach people TO draw by touch. The
pupil is blindfoded and feels a simple
shape, like Il hammer of a spade, and
draws it with his eyes open An ad-
vanced pupil has drawn the head Of n
classical bust and the mask of Bee
thOven.
These experiments fired Mr.. @. b.
Albeit. the director of the society, with
the idea of drawing by the blind. He
has devised a medium which looks like
the frosted stuff on a matchbox made
liquid. by which the draughtsman can
follow by touch what he has drawn
and correct or add TO his work So far
there have been no experiments with a
blind pupil.
Mr.. Albeit does not claim for il more
than that q blind man can draw the
plan or design of something he
wishes to record and explain. A blind
gardener has been known to go into
ecstasies over the unfolding shapes of
a plant, and the drawing Of these
shapes. known TO him by touch would
undoubtedly give him n form of es-
thetic pleasure. In any case, 1t would
increase his means of communicating
with the outside world.

ticable. would be that it would enable
