When Nagamani, Mahadevi, Kavitha, Sushma, Rachana, class 10th students at C.S.I. Victoria Girls' School drew pictures using crayons at a workshop held recently, people assembled were surprised and appreciated the efforts of visually impaired students and Mustafa Khan. The students made use of ‘pop-up symbolism,’ a new technique of drawing conceived by Mustafa Khan for visually impaired people. Khan, a recipient of the Bimal Roy Award, developed the technique after working with the medium for nearly four years. He said visually impaired people can now learn drawing and painting through a new method comprising symbols, based on the feel, touch and expression. They are taught using two-dimensional embossed symbols depicting objects, which can easily be felt. The features of the Braille system have been successfully incorporated for making the framework. Khan also came up with a new crayon holder for the purpose, where colours are selected by touching the embossed symbols on the holder. The picture can be composed by arranging the mental image of the object together with the choice of colours by touching the symbols. The exhibition held at ‘Suchitra Gallery’ of Kalamandira (Mysore) was treat for the connoisseurs of art.
