Description

This study clarified the mechanisms involved in deepening the appreciation of works of art when in conversation with a visually impaired person as a partner. By conducting an interactive appreciation with and acting as a sub-navigator for a visually impaired person, and then analyzing the utterance data, it became clear that precise verbalizations related to the art work were motivated by the lack of access to visual information, and accordingly, a precise observation of the works was encouraged. Furthermore, when the information was described in this manner, it became clear that repeated simple questions asked by the visually impaired person shook the premise of the interpretation of the work, leading to a new way of seeing the work. In addition, as a result of the study, it was suggested that when implementing art appreciation with the visually impaired as interaction partners, it is important to focus on selecting a work of art beforehand. It should be a work which is easy to describe through observation and interaction so as to ensure sufficient time for appreciation of the work. Moreover, descriptive methods should be devised that enable one to navigate art appreciation without focusing too much on the details of the work.
