tactile art

Tactile art is a form of artistic expression designed to be experienced through touch. It often incorporates textured surfaces, varied materials, and compelling patterns to evoke aesthetic and emotional responses without relying solely on sight. This type of art enhances accessibility for individuals with visual impairments and encourages a multisensory appreciation. Examples include textured sculptures, raised line drawings, and embossed prints. Tactile art emphasizes the importance of sensory engagement, allowing viewers to explore and interpret artworks through touch, fostering a deeper connection and understanding beyond visual observation.
