New Opportunity for Visually impaired To Experience 3D Art

A new opportunity for blind and visually impaired people to experience art by re-creating classical art paintings in 3D. The art is free and printable.

The Unseen Art project is creating a new opportunity for blind and visually impaired people to experience art. They are involving people from all over the world to re-create classical art paintings in 3D so that they may be touched and felt, both in exhibitions and in people’s homes. 3D models of the paintings are open source and printable anywhere in the world where there’s access to a 3D printer. Creating equal access for art globally is Unseen Art project passion and goal.

Artists are then able to 3D-print the interpreted work in a variety of materials, including plastic, metal, sandstone, resin, and ceramic, to name a few; they can finish it with any number of textures and treatments, like paints and glazes.

Anyone will be able to experience them for the first time through touch

RE-CREATE FAMOUS PAINTINGS IN 3D

They may also invite contemporary artists to interpret their own works as 3D prints.

Simplifying details and highlighting a perspective in the work can help create an impression of the art.
