Amy Cohen Efron I am back!!! #ASL28Challenge Day 14 - Motif: American School for the Deaf "Ripple Effects : Past, Present, and Future"

This is a CONCEPTUAL image of the history of American School for the Deaf starting with Old Hartford School, Gallaudet Hall with iconic cupola, and Post-modern Gallaudet Hall with Glass angular roof. It shows transformation of Deaf Education from the past to the future. The bottom of the image are butterflies which represents transformation of Deaf souls touching water causing the ripple effect in the United States by spreading ASL, Deafhood, and Deaf Education. These butterflies are in blue, turquoise, and yellow- that's Gallaudet colors (Buff and Blue) and also colors of the Deaf Flag. This is a rough concept and I will definitely work on it when I have time.

Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell had a daughter who was Deaf, named Alice Cogswell. She became the first Deaf student at ASD. Gallaudet went to England and met Laurent Clerc and then he went to France and asked Clerc to come to America. ASD started its first school in 1817. Kathy Fisher-Abraham Day 14 -ASD motif “Past Deaf founders respected and never forgotten”

Topic: The memory of Clerc, Cogswell, and Gallaudet remains alive today because of ASL brought by them to America so that Deaf people/students could learn. 8x10 sketch pad, then added to digital photoshop to cut out the pictures of our founders with my original artwork.

Because of them and starting the first school for the deaf- ASD, ASL is still being used and is very very much preserved.

I don't have good knowledge about Deaf history of American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. Sorry for any inconvenience!

But you can read on the internet, for more information about where Laurent Clerc met and Alice Cogswell in 1815 - 1816. How did they communicate with young Deaf girl Alice Cogswell ...

I learned that ASD is celebrating 200th anniversary/birthday this year. So I thought I could do a birthday cake with four people who had a big role in establishing ASD: In 1817, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, a recent Yale graduate and ordained clergyman, met the Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell family and their deaf daughter, Alice. Embarking on a voyage to Europe to learn the art of educating deaf children, Gallaudet encountered the exciting work of l'Institut National de Jeunes Sourds de Paris (school for the deaf in Paris, France). He then enlisted Laurent Clerc, a talented, young, deaf teacher to join him in a historic journey back home to establish the first permanent school for the deaf in the United States.
