| Description | Interview with Mr Vincent, a teacher at Birmingham College of Art. He talks about adapting a three point perspective grid for use by blind students and getting it engraved and tested at Worcester College for the Blind. He discusses the problems associated with equipment being designed for use solely by sighted people, and having to design specially adapted tools and instruments. He thinks he is helping blind students to pass on their skills to others and describes the theory and practice in teaching use of the three point perspective grid which enables blind students to produce technical drawings of buildings, other large objects and even landscapes that they can only visualise from sound vibrations and the use of the other senses. He discusses how blind people apprehend landscape and vanishing points, and thinks that with help they will be able to draw landscape. He thinks that if they have the means of expressing themselves in pictorial form they will gain self confidence (tracks 1-8).
