| Description | Interview with Trevor Pennock from Loughborough, a student at Lickey Grange, talking about his worries about people staring at him in the street (track 1).
Interview with Mr Vincent, a teacher at Birmingham College of Art. He describes different elements of his job teaching students to produce technical illustrations and talks about the principle of three point perspective and the development of a grid which has helped sighted students to visualise planes and angles and work out the correct factual information. He explains the operation of the grid and describes his work to adapt procedures for work with blind students to get a mental impression and a 'feeling picture' of objects through 3D drawing. He considers that his blind students have greater powers of visualisation and concentration than sighted people because they have to work with their other senses, and that their mental pictures will be more accurate, regardless of whether they are born blind or have lost their sight (tracks 2-8).
