“ART IS MY favourite subject,” Nattinan Dankratok, a Mathayom-4 student at Kanlayanawat School in Khon Kaen province, said.

However, after she lost her eyesight, she has been spending her art classes learning braille, while here classmates get their hands dirty learning about art.
 

Brightly coloured paintings and jars made of papier mache line the shelf at the back of the classroom. 

“Most visually impaired students cannot fully participate in art classes,” Onanong Ritruechai, art lecturer at Khon Kaen University (KKU), said.

However, it’s not really the school’s fault, as it does not have the media to fully engage visually impaired students, she explained. 

Onanong is part of a team of researchers who are working with high-school teachers to create media to teach visual art to blind students, as well as devise a teaching style that does not leave anyone behind.
