Arts, Culture, and Blindness: A Study of Blind Students in the Visual Arts - 4481

This is the first monograph to study adults and children with visual impairments participating in courses designed with their needs in mind. In doing so, it uniquely delves into the topic of the culture of education and society and its affects on an understanding of blindness and the visual arts.Through an analysis of individual and group behavior, the book also introduces a new cultural model for studying blindness and disability, investigates the social influences on the nature of blindness and the treatment of people who are blind, and examines the influences that have affected the self belief of blind students and the way they create art. This book is particularly aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate courses specializing in the education of students with physical disabilities, and students studying for undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees in subjects such as Disability Studies, Sociology, Social and Applied Psychology, and Fine Art and Design.
