I am not an artist in the fine arts, and I have audio processing issues, so this was very much a challenge. I am well aware this looks horrible. I tried to follow along as the audio was going.

Тихая, наполненная ожи

# data[].attributes.body
Тихая, наполненная ожиданием картина о времени, которое замедлилось.

В центре — женщина, замершая между настоящим и будущим. Её опущенный взгляд и рука, лежащая на животе, создают ощущение внутреннего диалога — разговора с тем, кто ещё не появился на свет. Пространство вокруг неё словно дышит: мягкий свет из окна, сдержанные цвета одежды, спокойная вертикаль её фигуры.

Предметы на столе не случайны — свеча как знак хрупкости и надежды, открытая книга как символ истории, которая продолжается, апельсин как вспышка жизни и тепла. Даже кувшин, показанный лишь наполовину, будто намекает на незавершённость, на процесс.

За окном — мир. Серое небо и радуга одновременно. Городская площадь, здания, даль, и маленькая фигура мужчины, машущего в сторону окна. Это расстояние — не только физическое. Это пространство ожидания, разлуки и надежды.

В тексте есть удивительное равновесие между покоем и движением. Женщина неподвижна, но всё вокруг неё говорит о переменах. Это не просто описание сцены — это образ ожидания чуда, в котором тишина наполнена светом.

It was difficult to draw from listening to the painting's description but here it is. :)

Not high art from me! It's interesting how when hearing one detail in the description, you make assumptions, and then a subsequent detail changes the image for you - for me the courtyard was much further away when I first heard it and started sketching it for example, then the detail of the man made me realise I'd gone a bit astray

I tried to visualise it as I imagine a blind person would. Typing that makes me want to add a bunch of textures to the table and wall and such, but we weren't told what materials they're made out of. That seems like a more relevant descriptive set of words than colors for the blind. It's great how this exercise grants new perspectives by itself.

This was a very interesting exercise. From the look of what other people have posted, many of us were able to visualize similar scenes.

I really enjoyed this task as I'm very visual and see it as a challenge. It felt like an exercise I would ask pupils to do at school. There were so many questions about details - I have worked with children with visual impairments and I know how tricky it can be to include everything in descriptions whilst being conscious of time limitations as the child will need to be able to keep up with the pace of their peers.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't even pretend I am a good artist

Closing my eyes and visualizing the painting required focusing on each detail and piecing them together in my mind. It was a bit like solving a puzzle where each descriptive element formed part of the whole image. I had to think deeply about the spatial relationships and the overall composition.

I really enjoyed this task! I didn’t colour it and it’s not quite what I want to convert but I love seeing everyone else’s interpretations.

I created it by mixing many things like; a pencil drawing, artificial intelligence, retouching, and image editing.

Once I started drawing I noticed that I got the woman's angle wrong, instead of arranging it I kept on going. This was very challenging for me to understand.

Since I am deaf I had to use the Audio description .pdf anyway and had not coloured pens nearby (not that it would help). It also is entirely different to draw an image we have in our minds, but also people who have lost sight "see" differently than people who were born without it. Concepts such as colour, or light... things that sighted people think would invoke emotions or feelings for us, would not have the same effects.

Although the narrator did a fantastic job of describing the portrait, I often wonder how a blind/visually impaired person perceives color. I decided to keep the color in black and white, as I feel as though visually impaired people may associate color with what orange, green, black, white may be to them in regards to how they feel/use their creativity.

It was a very complicated exercise. The narrator did a good job, but it was difficult to copy the image. I think it would be interesting to include other things like emotions that are transmitted by colors of the painting, the materials used, the types of lines, etc

Very illuminating exercise. Really demonstrated how difficult it can be to visualise everything accurately when presented with lots of information!

# data[].attributes.body
This was a really difficult task. So much information that the audio description was on repeat. Sorry about the lack of drawing skills!

# data[].attributes.body
I must say that it wasn't easy at all.

My attempt

# data[].attributes.body
This was tough to do. The speed of the description was faster than I could interpret it. I'm sure that the objects aren't all where they should be.

# data[].attributes.body
Didn't really enjoy this, but it is interesting to see these works of art and I congratulate all the talent on show.

# data[].attributes.body
Imagining the picture was easy, but drawing it is a whole othe thing.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't looked at the original painting yet so lord knows how accurate this is. I did find myself being unsure of where the objects were, but I think that might be down  to my own difficulty with spatial recognition. Fun all around, though!

# data[].attributes.body
Well, definitely painting drawing is not my business. However, was very funny activity.

# data[].attributes.body
I misunderstood some details like the position of the window and some details of her clothes but it was a fun exercise!

# data[].attributes.body
I found the visualising not to difficult but I did have to listen twice. However I'm not an artist and the drawing was agonising

This was a fun exercise! Though there were a lot of changes I'd make to the audio description to better understand what the image was actually conveying in terms of time period, ethnicity of the woman (I am surprised this was not even mentioned!) and some other quite major things that I think would have helped a lot!

This was quite fun to create as I'm normally good at art, but oh dear... It gave me great respect (in some tiny way) for what blind and partially sighted people live with constantly.

I found this quite enjoyable, imagining from the description how a painting might look. It's so interesting to see how different every body's interpretations are of the same description!

The order of the painting's description was difficult to visualise the painting as a whole, as I had already filled in he blanks, eg. her hair. The time period/style of the painting would've been very helpful. The actual painting is also landscape format and the jug is clearly visible...

Not even close ;)

I gave it a try

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to draw while listening; I wonder if it would have been easier to listen to the whole thing and then draw? But I felt if I was imagining the image this is how I'd do it: piece by piece and adjusting as I went along

Yes! The order or descrpition is importan as they say.
I found it difficult because my native language is not english so I had to repeat the listening three times. Second, I'm not good at drawing. Anyway. This remindme how difficult is for us to understand blind people and the same for them to us.
How do you describe colors! Does it make sense?

I found the activity very challenging since I cannot draw, but I also thoroughly enjoyed it. It was quite hard to imagine despite the description. It would have been nice to know the style of the artwork and the medium used. That would have helped a lot.

Drawing the painting, as I listened to the description, allowed me to appreciate the level of detail needed in order for someone to be able to visualise the painting in their mind. For example, I found references to the proportions (e.g. the lady takes up most of the left hand side) very useful. Although I did a pencil drawing and did not colour it, the descriptions of the colours helped me to imagine what the painting would look like. As did the shapes (e.g. tall, curvy jug). I found this to be a very clear, detailed description of the painting.

I thought the description was excellent - I initially started drawing along but found that this didn't work as added details went against earlier decisions I had made. Instead, I listened to the description all the way through, allowing me to visualise the whole image vividly. I particularly liked the attention the describer paid to proportions. I then listened for a second time, this time drawing along and pausing the audio after each section.

Portrait of a lady

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed looking at how other people have drawn what they heard. I was confused as to where the window placement was meant to be and the women's relationship to this space. Towards the end of the exercise it became clearer that the window was in-fact meant to be in the right hand corner. I think the description was very clear at a good pace. Very interesting activity.

# data[].attributes.body
I messed up from the outset because I drew the woman on the wrong side of the window. This has proven that people interpret language differently; because from her perspective she is in front of the window but from ours she is behind it. From now on, when I describe something like this to a blind or visually impaired person, I will make sure to mention from whose perspective I am referring to. Overall though, I think the speaker did a great job of describing things visually and in detail, and her speed of speech was appropriate.

# data[].attributes.body
This is sketch while listening to the audio and the objects I would have to listen twice to actually place them the right way. I did not take time to draw it very good as you can see but this exercice is really fun to do !

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to make the drawing by hand following the description, but it was a big challenge, so I decided to use a program for drawing, it wasn´t easy, but at least I could finish something that can maybe work for the excercise.
