LONG CITATION
John Kennedy is a leader in perception and cognition research, whose work on pictures in vision and touch influences basic theory and new practices for the blind in education, museums, and art galleries internationally. His groundbreaking work is on outline, perspective, and metaphoric pictures by the sighted and the blind. He has tested drawing development in sighted and blind children and has written extensively on the idea that drawing development occurs in a similar fashion in both groups. His work concerns cave art, perspective, and metaphors for motion. He has been singled out as the originator of ideas that change the way we think.
