Located in Spain, Prado Museum is the first art exhibition for the visually impaired. The paintings held in the exhibition are by masters like El Greco and Fracisco Goya. As can be seen from the pictures,the paintings have more volume and texture to allow those with limited vision, to feel the paintings and create their own mental image of the paintings which is done with a technique of relief painting. This is a great approach which I feel should be practiced more by countries all around the world. Art should be for everyone to enjoy,regardless of who you are; regardless of your disability. This exhibition is for those who have lost their sense of sight and this art exhibition is making use of the other 4 senses that we have for them to enjoy art. I wonder what other kinds of ideas will there be created for other kinds of disability. For instance, those who have lost their sense of hearing, what ideas can man think off that would allow these people to enjoy music then? Nonetheless, it is amazing to see people coming up with such ideas that will benefit others, this shows that people with disability are just like any of us;-that they enjoy the same things that we do and should not be seen as social outcasts.
