I’m wanting to use a multi-sensory approach to interpret a couple of paintings in our collection – using touch, smell, sounds etc, to use with special needs groups.
Has anyone got any experience of using themed aromas – such as the aroma cubes produced by companies like Dale Air? I’m a bit concerned that the flow of the workshop will be lost when having to pass the cubes round for everyone to smell, but as I want to do the workshop in the public gallery in front of the painting, I don’t want to have to be spraying different aerosols around!
Also, I have used some of Dale Air’s cubes before, and I don’t know whether it’s just my insensitive nose, but I was a bit disappointed – they all smelt the same to me! Can anyone suggest any other products that they have found to be good?
Cheers
