Creek. Summer. Tactile Art.

RantWoman wishes to celebrate the option just to have FUN, again with the  tactile graphics software TactileView at the Friendly Neighborhood Center for Extreme Computing. The most important source of FUN while getting started on today's work: RantWoman always uses Zoomtext with Tactile View (and other things). RantWoman tends to launch Zoomtext and then turn the ZT Reader voice off  in order to use JAWS for screen reading. This time though, RantWOman just left ZT running and BOY was it nice to hear the voice read really basic tool tips for functions in tactile view.            

Cue the following photos. Yes, there are two photos. RantWoman decided not to try to make a tactile image of the second photo.

Wissahickon Creek, From a bridge, August 2018 evening.

RamtWoman finds it really interesting to see how this picture emerged from RantWOman's efforts to let the software decide what would make a good image.

As an aside, RantWoman thinks it could be very interesting PERHAPS to use a drawing like this result to teach concepts such as perspective to a totally blind person. RantWoman thinks this, but probably if she had a totally blind person interested in art, MAYBE RantWoman would do some more reading about teaching methodologies.

Or maybe RantWoman would just wing it.

The second image, same creek.

RantWoman finds the texture and colors of reflection in this photo fascinating. RantWoman has not even tried to turn it into a tactile image though. Happy Late summer reflections!
