Description of the Drawing
Translated by AI: The swan is depicted from its left side. The braille drawing shows it swimming in the water. The head, with its beak, begins at the top left. The dot on the head indicates the left eye. This is followed by the swan’s long neck, which is a very distinctive feature. When the swan is swimming, its wings are folded in and point diagonally upwards, as shown in our braille drawing. At the back of the swan, its tail can still be felt. The swan’s short legs and feet cannot be detected as they are underwater. The curved line beneath the swan, which begins at the front and ends behind it, represents the movement of the water. This small wave was undoubtedly created by the swan as it moved through the water.
This braille drawing was originally created for the non-profit organisation einfach machbar e. V. during the project “Blind Children Draw Pictures – Drawing with Letters” financed by the charity Aktion Mensch.
