Description is principally an access technique designed for the benefit of people—all people, including children—who are blind or have low vision. I think of it as a literary art form, a kind of poetry—a haiku. It provides a verbal version of the visual--the visual is made verbal, and aural (he points to his ear), and oral (he points to his mouth). Using words that are succinct, vivid, and imaginative, it conveys the visual image that is not fully accessible to a segment of the population and not fully realized by the rest of us—the rest of us, sighted folks who see but who may not observe.
