S. Ishihara
More Contextual Research.
As I talk to tutor (Marc Cowan) in the tutorial, His suggested a book in the library for me to look at. The book is from the rare collection of the library so I need to be on the table that they set and write a request form to look at this book. Also, didn’t be allowed to take images or scan the book so I did take some notes instead.
This book called tests for colour-blindness by S. Ishihara. Included 24 plates and published in 1978. What I have learnt from the books are “…Most cases of congenital colour vision deficiency are characterized by a red-green deficiency which may be of two types; Protanopia or Protanomalia and Deuteranopia or Deuteranomalia”- from the ‘tests for colour-blindness by S. Ishihara’ books
And “… The subject who suffers from typical total colour blindness shows a complete failure to discriminate any colour variations, usually with associated impairment of central vision with photophobia and nystagmus. In the atypical total colour blindness, the sensitivity of the colour to red and green, as well as to yellow and blue is so low that only very clear colours can be perceived; but except for the colour sensitivity ], there is no abnormality in the visual/ functions. The plates in this book form an easy method of establishing the diagnosis in such cases and distinguishing them from cases of red-green deficiencies”- from the ‘tests for colour-blindness by S. Ishihara’ books
How to takes care of the test plates” care of the plates? The book of the test plates must be kept closed, except during use, because undue exposure to sunlight causes a fading of the colour of the plates. And the diagnosis will be more accurate in the room with natural light rather than electrical light”- from the ‘tests for colour-blindness by S. Ishihara’ books
Then, I research more about his work online and this is some images that similar to the plates in the book. The Ishihara test, the first in a class of successful colour vision tests called pseudo-isochromatic plates (“PIP”). It was named after its designer, Shinobu Ishihara, a professor at the University of Tokyo, who first published his tests in 1917.

The plates make up several different test designs:
Demonstration plate (plate number one, typically the numeral “12”); designed to be visible by all persons, whether normal or colour vision deficient. For demonstration purposes only, and usually not considered in making a score for screening purposes.
Transformation plates: individuals with colour vision defect should see a different figure from individuals with normal colour vision.
Vanishing plates: only individuals with normal colour vision could recognize the figure.
Hidden digit plates: only individuals with colour vision defect could recognize the figure.
Diagnostic plates: intended to determine the type of colour vision defect (Protanopia or Deuteranopia) and the severity of it.
I then also research more on colour blindness too. These are images that I have collected for secondary online research:

As the development of Ideas to this project, the title remains the same but the content is more clarify which the content that I wanted to focuses on ids a perception and views of the individuals towards the artwork from “HERE” London (Galleries and Exhibitions). What I have the plan to do next is develop the sample with hand embroidery colours sensitivity from the colours studies.
