| Description | Interview with Mr Vincent, a teacher at Birmingham College of Art. He talks about the poor reception of his design work with blind students, despite the fact that he gets results through his methods for teaching blind students to draw, training them to draw on a three point perspective grid. He discusses how blind people build up mental pictures when walking, and how he adapts that principle to teaching drawing to give blind students a means of expression that sighted people can understand. He thinks that objects designed by blind people will incorporate different innovations than those designed by sighted people and that his blind students have a greater imagination and capacity to concentrate. He talks about how blind students design in three dimensions, describes some of the drawing aids available and discusses his teaching methods and beliefs about the benefits of tuition for all types of blind people (tracks 1-6).
