In my last post regarding Sylwia’s microteaching I had overseen the crucial element that while I was tracing the contour of the sculpture with my hands I was also tracing Tanushe’s handprints because she had created the sculpture with her own hands. This way of experiencing an object which was made by hands enables the participant to encounter and understand the object and its creation more intensely.

Again, I had forgotten that I had made the link to Object-Based Learning and Well-Being prior Sylwia’s and my microteaching when I had visited the Maria Bartuszová’s exhibition at Tate Modern in January this year. The following photographs constitute a key inspiration for my future research interest.

The sign at Tate Modern stated: The photos show the 1st sculpture symposium for blind and partially-sighted children at the Elementary School for Partially Sighted Children, in cooperation with Gabriel Kladek, 1976 Levoča, Slovakia
