While people with visual impairments are interested in artwork as much as sighted peers, their experience is limited to few selective artworks that exhibited at certain museums. To enable people with visual impairments to and appreciate as many artworks as possible at ease, we propose an art gallery that allows users to explore different parts of a painting on their touchscreen-based devices while listening to corresponding descriptions of the touched part on the screen. To investigate the of our approach, we first explored if anonymous crowd who may not expertise in art are capable of providing visual descriptions of artwork a preliminary study. Then we conducted a user study with 9 participants with impairments to explore the potential of our system for independent appreciation by assessing if and how well the system supports 4 steps Feldman Model of Criticism. The findings suggest that visual descriptions of produced by an anonymous crowd are sufficient for people with visual to interpret and appreciate paintings with their own judgments is different from existing approaches that focused on delivering and opinions written by art experts. Based on the lessons learned the study, we plan to collect visual descriptions of a greater number of and distribute our online art gallery publicly to make more paintings for people with visual impairments.
