Goal of the Activity

The goal of this activity was to raise awareness on the reality of people with physical disabilities.

Description

First we made a presentation about some painters with physical disabilities and showed off their art. We then divided the room in sections, for example, a) painting blindfolded, b) with tied arms, c) without using hands having a brush between the face and the shoulder, d) again without using hands but using only the mouth and e) using a brush stuck to the wrist. We selected five different paintings from the ones shown in the initial presentation and assigned each to a different group of students. They then had to go through all of the sections to finish their painting.
