"Research and study of the communication about the art concept based on the painting applied with Braille"
I made a research to produce a group of art works for the above mentioning theme from 2004 to 2006. Producing art works was the central activity of the research project because of my position as an artist and also a teacher of Art. The exhibition to show these art works was held at Otani Memorial Museum, Nishinomiya city in 2004. The achievement bore fruit in various ways such as exhibition catalogue and reviews by newspapers. I think I carried an educational role to deepen linguistic comprehension and communication of painting.

ille. The most important is to replace volume of light with volume of material; to express the light and shade in height of the material automatically by digital technique. My objectives include the opened technique that anyone can produce engraving from a craftsman technical skill for use of this device. This means that I convert "a touch" by a skillful painter into digital data as well as saying application to art of mass production technique.
I made a database of masterpieces by various authors from the Renaissance to modern times. Then I produced sculptures based on the database by the 3-D carving machine ; I turned two-dimensional paintings into three-dimensional objects to examine and compare.
As a result, variance of expression of light in various periods became clear and it was, useful for comprehension of the concept of painting in history. In addition, I found a possibility to comprehend two dimensional paintings by tactile sense. I think I could obtain a new effective technique for art education and add a different point of view from existing theories for painting with the result of the research project. Less
