Hands-on Art
The Hands-on Art Program (HOA) is a unique program where people with visual impairments can enjoy art at the Print Show. The program was first started in 1996, and has continued through to this day. This year four prints were chosen to make raised images from. After asking the artists for permission, the coordinators discussed possible prints with experts at the Japan Braille Library, to find ones that we would be able to make into a 3D print, using a method called stereo copying.
The four prints that were chosen were:
Frog 24-1 カエル 24-1 by AKIYAMA Toyohide 秋山豊英; a woodcut print.
Pianist ピアニスト by HIROTA Raifu 廣田雷風; a linocut print
Kabuto Man goes to Hollywood by KANEKO Kunio 金子邦生: a woodcut print
Phalaenopsushi 胡蝶鮨 by MIYAMOTO Shoji 宮本承司: a woodcut print
This year we chose prints that we thought were fun, interesting, and we hope will encourage dialogue between the visually impaired visitor and the CWAJ volunteer guide. Besides enjoying the prints, and reading the artists’ comments about their works, the visitors will also take a tour of the gallery to be introduced to other artists’ works.
We are offering time slots on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to CWAJ’s group of visually impaired friends. Participants interested in attending can sign up with our Volunteers for the Visually Impaired (VVI) group, for a guided session. We hope to have many participants come to share in our program. The HOA table is also open every day for drop-in visitors, both for people with visual impairments and for anyone who is interested in the program and wants to touch the raised prints.
