The focus of this study discusses art activities conducted by visually impaired people in a Social Rehabilitation House (Panti Rehabilitasi Sosial). This study uses a technical approach and clay material using as an agreed theme. The research process was directed by the creativity of art in aesthetic activities, processes and artworks, and sensitivity of the participants. The artwork was presented through collaborative researchers with the experiences of five participants who were visually impaired and had different characteristics. The fruits, which became the theme, generated artworks based on their favourite form, scent, and curiosity. The intensity of sensitivity could be seen in the activities of holding, recognizing, identifying objects and expressing opinions. The nature of the clay material created a re-creation process of art-making techniques that produced quality from the elements and principles of art. Artworks using clay material produced the media of expression-communication-actualization in a non-verbal way. The aesthetic role of the visually impaired participants was affected by complexity in the sensitivity of individual experiences and cognitive abilities. © 2020 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
