Sensaciones

“Sensaciones” (Sensations) is a powerpoint presentation specially developed for people with intellectual disabilities.

Simultaneously with the projection of a sequence of astronomical images, and a relaxing music, we use the following:
  • Items with different textures and weight, like peebles, marbles, wooden and metallic objects, etc.
  • Polystyrene spheres painted to resemble the Sun, the Earth and the Moon
  • A torch
  • Ballons filled with warm and cold water
  • A bucket with water and a towel
  • Incense sticks
We seek to make the public “feel” directly the sensations suggested by the images, so they connect better with the narration.
