Lisania Cardoso Tederixe | Ruth Mariani | Neuza Rejane Wille Lima

Abstract: The tactile book is a resource that helps the blind student to access art’s concepts and allowed them to build knowledge about aspects and nuances of culture. Our objective was to create and test a handmade tactile book for blind students who were attending the first cycle of elementary school. This book was presented to the art teacher and her five congenic blind kids during three workshops. Three questionnaires were applied to evaluate to explore the images and use geometric figures in the most diverse contexts in the Visual Arts class. The tactile book produced was named The Art in Forms. This book allowed students to read in the Braille System and haptically and might contribute to the inclusion of a visually impaired student in the artistic field of paintings made by great artists such as Kandinsky.
