Please read one of the following articles and then give a personal reflection on the article and respond to the knowledge question(s), in two paragraphs (5 sentences each). Due by the end of the period. If you finish early, complete any missing work or homework for other classes. The allure of the past AoKs/WoKs: Imagination, history, emotion KQs: What role does imagination play in understanding the past? Do you have to 'feel' the past in order to properly understand it? Does nostalgia get in the way of accessing historical 'truth'?

I am personally just amazed on how talented this guy is. Esref is really gifted and no one in the world can deny that, the way he visualises the objects just by feeling them. We can all just get a simple drawing by feeling things, but not by perspective. What amazed me the most is the fact that he was blind at birth so basically he has never seen light. Esref is also gifted for drawing these objects that he feels by perspective, and better than a lot of sighted artists.
Those who have never seen can produce an accurate representation of the world, and Esref is a live example. Visual sense turns out not to be so important to create visual art as anyone would have expected. Esref proves that you don't need to see to draw visual art, all you have to do is feel with your finger tips and your heart. Esref shocked the scientists and without a doubt shocked the world as well. Artists try to convey their works to art shows and places where many people would see and be amazed by.

Before seeing the video, I never knew that there is a blind people who can produce an accurate representation of the world using imagination. But after seeing the video, I've learned that there is a blind people who can draw with a perfect perspective and with shadows. I think there is more people who are blind and can draw perfectly. Also I think that at first you must be gifted to know how to draw, and Eshrif is one of them.
I think visual sense is not that important in creating visual art. For example, I have visual sense but i dont have the imagination like Eshrif so I dont know how to draw. Eshrif don't have visual sense, but he has imagination so he can draw. I think artists try to convey their imagination in their work to draw perfectly.

I thought drawing was hard even with your eyes open, but after seeing this man do it with his eyes closed makes me look bad. The fact that he can draw some just by using his finger tips and his imagination is amazing. What he can do is something that is amazing and rare that you never see in everyday scosiety. many people have a hard time drawing something but we also have a hard time imagining what we can't see. this is something that i think us humans can learn from asraf how to use our imagination. just by placing his hand on a certain shape he imagines every line, corner and detail. All this by using his mind to help him draw what he can't see. so i think our imagination is more important to our visual abilities. If we can master our imagination like asraf we can make many things we thought we couldn't. i think we all can learn a lesson from him.

Esref proved that those who have never seen, can produce an accurate representation of the world by using only their imagination without the help of someone explaining the object to them. visual sense is not that important in creating visual art because what is the cool thing about doing a duplicate? when a blind guy can feel the objects with his fingers and draw by heart, now that's passion in art, i would definitely by a painting by a blind guy rather than a regular guy since the art holds passion and accuracy of his visual drawings by using his fingers to feel them. the artists try to convey their works in special art galleries or places where a art enthusiastic would go to.

After seeing this video I saw the that people can do any thing and their is no restrictions that can stop any one from getting to his goal. I think any blind people who wants to draw can draw even in a professional way.
Visual sense seems important to create an visual art. But it it is not important any one can draw if he wants to draw .god give gets to people . People can do any thing they want. Even if they want to draw.

I thought drawing was hard even with your eyes open, however subsequent to seeing this man do it with his eyes shut makes me look awful. The way that he can draw some equitable by utilizing his fingertips and his creative ability is astounding. What he can do is something that is astounding and uncommon that you never see in ordinary scosiety. numerous individuals have some major snags drawing something yet we likewise have some major difficulty envisioning what we can't see. this is something that i think us people can gain from asraf how to utilize our creative energy. just by putting his hand on a certain shape he envisions each line, corner and subtle element. This by utilizing his psyche to help him draw what he can't see. so i think our creative energy is more critical to our visual capacities. On the off chance that we can ace our creative energy like asraf we can make numerous things we thought we proved unable. i think we all can take in a lesson from him.
