Early Years Digital Literacy

Text

The following information is represented in tactile illustration, relief sculpture and text on a horizontal sheet of 18 by 24-inch Masonite board that is painted the same yellow used in CNIB branding.

The title Early Years Digital Literacy is centered at the top of the panel in two and a half inch high lettering in DK Plakkaat. DK Plakkaat is a bold and simple letterform that looks as if it was drawn with a thick brush freehand.

Directly over top of the lettering is the title in braille using clear translucent dots. Beneath the lettering to the left of the board are two relief stick figures created in quick drying clay and painted black. Each figure holds a rectangular shape that symbolizes an iPad. The right side of the panel is a child’s drawing of two smiling seated children with arms raised and holding iPads. The figures are painted with thick strokes of black paint and are semi-abstract in their execution. The lines of the painted figures are raised with the use of 3-D puff paint.

Below the illustrations are the words “Creating innovative apps for teaching iOS to CNIB children and providing free iPads to 241 families over 3 years.
