Lesson plan: Mobile Gallery Project:
original
This art project relates to the ideas of accessibility and inclusivity in the form of a mobile art gallery. It is a five-week project which is based on curation. The individual lesson plans focus on the considerations and practicalities in curating art an exhibition within a narrow and specific time frame.
Ignorance Disorganisation: Settled Hiding Fun
antonyms
That avocation fun conceals against veto realities unrelated unapproachability minus exclusivity out veto disorder unrelated nil settled avocation hiding. They isn’t nil minus five- minus 7 days fun that isn’t unfixed off neglect. Veto group ignorance disorganisations blur off veto thoughtlessness’ minus impracticalities out neglect.
Unplanned Ignorance: Unscheduled Static Secrets:
opposites
Unscheduled, inhumanity is dissociative without truth of inaccessibility less exclusivity; non-existent shapelessness- static inhuman secrets. Unscheduled Instantaneousness isn’t unfixed off retention. Group ignorance (unplanned) blur off thoughtlessness without impracticalities retaining inhumanity, non-existent inhibition- outside wide, general lack of temporal length of events.
‘Original’ is the original first paragraph, ‘Antonyms’ is where I have used antonym dictionaries online to change each word (or another word as closely related as possible) into its opposite. ‘Opposites’ is similar to ‘Antonyms’ but I have used my own words to change sentences rather than individual words, using context as a priority and not adhering to the rule of exchanging one singular word for another.
The last one is my favourite, it does sound pretentious and silly but it is interesting. I can read that and kind of understand it, it's a visual language and more imaginative. I played with that idea and tried not to be too self-conscious of sounding pretentious as it was only an exercise.

My lesson plan:
I couldn't really concentrate enough to write it for individual lessons but I tried so hard to write what I did and I had looked online and decided to copy similar pdfs, using word properly is so difficult.
file:///C:/Users/Cheryl%20Blackburn/Desktop/Vocabulary%20exported.pdf
If the pdf doesn't work:
Unconscious, my fingers were clean. softened bells, ubiquitous in their scarcity. I believe in a beauty, juice and velvet. Warm smells give to sharper edges. Lemon silver knives, a stinging tang in my blood. Cleaner now than before.
I closed my eyes and listened to a song although I can't remember it now, I tried to write down my initial thoughts and feelings. I'm having trouble sleeping and I'm sometimes falling asleep while I'm awake. I keep dreaming in milliseconds and have even finished a sentence with a daydream before now. I tried to meditate (take stock of how my body feels when cal, my breath, arms, fingers etc. How my heart feels in my chest, how any tension starts to ebb away etc.. letting my mind relax the relax again and accept all thoughts, it's pretty great) and calm down, letting my mind wander and nearly fall asleep. It felt nice to write it even if it is cheesy. When I was young I used to write pages of random words that I heard that I liked and I'd make stories or songs from the them. Terrible and odd really but I can see this in how I have created art in the past. Until uni part of my design process would be to write down individual words relating to my theme and randomly drawing 2 together. I'd then draw a quick interpretation of those pairings. Perhaps something to return to.
I thought about the term 'visual language' and everything that means, well most of it as it's pretty extensive. I wanted to push myself into another uncomfortable-to-articulate situation so I chose a very well known painting and tried to explain it emotionally. It's a review of a photo I saw online of the painting in a gallery space. I tried not to be soppy but to be straightforward as if this was a normal way to communicate.
Unsettled focus, I might cry. I am swept, rushing and rushing to the right. I'd be cold.
Without the warm moon and stars. I am sad I will never be here. I feel sad that I'll never
fly. It should have been darker, I wish it filled my vision. It deserves scale.
There's elegance, where some see imagined insanity. Purposeful movement, gliding, swirling,
A communication of direction to make a moving whole.
It is very difficult to write like this, it feels so pretentious but maybe my inner voice is a bit of a nob. It feels better to be matter-of-fact and not too flowery and sycophantic, just completely and totally honest about my real initial thoughts, before the ego gets chance to edit.
Tom Waits- River of the World
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you can say about mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
But it always comes roaring back again
Misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Misery's the river of the world
Nick Cave- Into my Arms
I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I don’t believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that’s true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
Two songs that I chose were I would change the language, using google translate to find new words that mean the same. I changed each one at least 50 times, going back to English now and then to see how it was getting on. These are the final ones, I really liked doing this and I enjoyed finding problems with language and context.
Tom waits- River of the World- 3 rounds of translation
This is good for everyone.
This is good for everyone
You can stay in the game.
You can stay in the game
So you and my house
So you and my place
If you can not stay
If i can not stay
No one is old.
No one is wrong
You can get the shelf.
You can drag the box layout
But this is more time.
But it always increases once
The fertile soil is incredible.
The fertile land is incredible
The fertile soil is incredible.
The fertile land is incredible
The fertile soil is incredible.

I have written about me keep trying to explain what I want to look at so I'll post a bit here:
I asked my son to write down how he felt when he was confused, I thought it might help bring up new words, to ask a child.
I am interested, and interested in things: comma. particularly now that makes it difficult to scribe a kind of feel like actually talking about it is part of my research trying to explain to new people what I’m thinking a bout at the moment and sometimes losing complete track of it and it disappearing and other times been able to hold onto it better and explain it to the person so that they understand I feel like this is part of some of the method of this as well it’s this part of the process so that’s quite interesting to me I have been able to explain and articulate what I’m thinking about which has been nice because I the reason that I wonton to work on this sort of idea is that I’ve been in my head what lately and last year this year and year and year it just seems to be when it comes to creativity it’s something that is just living in my head local pet and it’s not something I will out the age much and it’s all of struggling their needs to get out and live not waste life and I find that when I have ideas so difficult to explain them or their to conceptual and don’t know how to sort of anger there more tell them to the ground at the moment I’ve been thinking about this whole it’s just swimming around around your head as you know everything about the fact that I’ve not been at articulate thing the fact that I’m very visual person so things from it’s quite introspective and not as a stick as opposed or things are in my head and it’s difficult to explain them because it’s just, and when I feel overwhelmed I want to jump into, that sounds stupid but it feels right I’m trying to sort of unite the two things of what I imagine versus the reality I’m interested in whether other people have the same experience whether they are just a tangle of sensory so overblown and it’s just what come that your mouth is what is is taught that you should say it’s just a separate thing or whether you say like red instead of a word because it explains it better emotionally to you you know that sort of thing it’s a child breakdown language so it’s not as literal and not as descriptive and it’s not what we’re taught to say or it sound good because you may have read that in a sentence and but but would be more instinctual so I have been messing I did a lot of and avoid written about this but I’ve done so looking at the opposites to words and I am not really giving exact words talked about it but I looked song lyrics thing and played with those and I would wake up and I would write about the dream I just had even if I couldn’t really expect because that is something I’m trying to capture as well is that a femoral sort of quality of a dream that is so real and even though you had it for like 10 fully wake up and it’s super quick process it’s not something that you may have dreamt of a whole lifetime like episode in adventure Time we mix a Pellow Fulcher foot pillow fort and he has a whole life and wife and a series of experiences in another world and that he considers his new world we could never escape to make peace with live there forever and then it turns out that it is some sleep in a Pellow for and it’s it’s crazy it’s like a book about when a guy is being it’s just that we honk and imagines entire scenario within the second and of being the net
the noose around his neck and when hit let go the plank between that and death imagines a completely different thing because his brains are musical in survival mode is in bed and is creating a different reality and to hold epic thing none of it really happened all happened in a few seconds in his imagination and it’s that powerful me everything my reality is just what my brain perceives to be real there is no real social same as reality and if there is it’s not something the human being possesses a think an animal can possess reality but even then know the subject to no other heritage the sort of DNA and everything is centred around themselves and not around anything else everything separate and has its own rules and laws so maybe not an my mention that now and you were a dream is very interesting as a dream is wake up and you can’t explain it as you are talking it is fleeting the words just you can’t think of them quick enough to explain what is disappearing right beneath your feet like the world is just that whole is just fading by the second even though your mind a narrow 10 minutes it was an entire universe because you don’t let your looking at other lucid dreams were you in the dream of drew on the go crazy I am shying weird in a dream as I am in real life and not some cooled and just the same as me and I don’t think it doesn’t make me I’m not aware of it because it’s real because it is a reality otherwise you just wake up every night and go the things men with ice cream cones as bodies this is preposterous and can dream any more and stupid move onto the next one you don’t you’re in there talking to the ice cream up and I’m interested in how just that moment that moment been like can’t even explain can’t can’t can’t explain I can’t deny I say that a lot because I think things are fantastical and the minute I guess a lot of people do maybe they can explain things that may I can’t explain things and it drives me crazy drives me crazy on a day-to-day basis having this calculus because I can’t get my head round things and confusion is something that just will go I will talk and talk and talk and talk if I can’t explain something because I have to explain I have to understand it feel should be very intimate with percentages should – that should be coded into me these things and it annoys me when I can’t get to grips with things because I could pick a piano and I could learn the piano I will never be a great pianist but I could learn it and I would be happy with like pickled geography book history book I could learn things when you give me something I cannot do it drives me crazy or I can explain it can’t understand it, articulate that is so annoying and that’s what I want so what I am looking at articulate things that was how it started that sort of just what the dead brain that’s what I thought about first and then I thought about reality and fantasy however the tension between the two have fantasies seeping into reality is a trend more than anything quite quite like to analyse stores with marketing ploys and and sales techniques and adverts editorials posters fashion a notice a few fashion magazines especially more obscure ones not like broken up inner ones I’ve seen in special shops is this whole thing about fantasy and it’s not even just like a little nod to its it’s like it seems to be half halfling where they more fantastically neon and alien then the more down-to-earth and you know human the bigger the contrast and I notice that there was one about fantasy and futuristic maybe futuristic everybody futuristic is a stupid word because a lot of the time you look at things and you think it’s futuristic is made in the 60s and that’s a stupid word we all think it’s kind of a guest as alien it’s like something that is different in new and unusual and maybe more man-made and keeps away from traditional materials and and the colours there’s a lot of iridescence and foil and write luminous colours neon is quite in abundant lot play on texture and things that will show minimalism within Texas alike shine and yeah minimalism for this definitely an element of don’t know the hard hardness is sequins are tossed a plastic and there’s lots of plastic will be rubber and the mixture sort of textures as well as those it’s a little bit like whenever you see anything and what tank girl or whatever about an apocalyptic Apple apocalyptic sort of world post apocalyptic world there’s always a mixture of text because it’s like the found things and the things that we’ve made into clothes and they have to be revolutiion all street style in the soil and utilitarian street style has to be tough for the environment has to be comfortable and appropriate and appearance a secondary utility is primary and it sucking ablution from that and I guess the future means that things are shining silver because before that way forever in ever since we’ve had like pop culture the future has been chrome and white 50s comic book space robot style so yeah there’s a lot of + and a magazine at the moment and has an editorial in it and its it’s called fever dreams which I found really interesting like that was the most that’s why sofas are just the one that’s those words that is just if I could just paint those words into, just get those words that sentence meaning I just translated into a different different I don’t know different methods are different different frame around it but exactly what how I feel about this particular subject and it sort of I’ve been struggling and hello it’s another is another sort of narcissistic introverted book on the work I’ve been having trouble with sleep and I keep dreaming one wake and unfinished sentences because I’ll link and have a dream and Albion market stalls selling oranges and finish a sentence with oranges and wine just in bed talking to somebody and so it’s really weird like when you are in that state you grip on reality is looser for your perception of reality and the mix quite easily and I can imagine being in that state for a prolonged period of time I think you would paint some pretty amazing work in your head that you can achieve a lot even if it wasn’t real you know I think you could really benefit from that somehow and and the quite blurry images because of the fever and it’s quite stark gritty boring stuff you know the school run or whatever thechild in the back of the car she is in an office slumped over she looks tired shirt worn down shots hard glass brutalism and she’s wearing like dreamy things she’s wearing sequins bright colourful the lots of light in all the images and is a lot of reflection and sparkle you know in the lens and it captures a lot of serial ethereal sort of feeling something that balls the grit and above the reality but it’s a mixed grey and the retention nervous tension with camera angles the sort of she’s at awkward angles which fashion models often are cameras like the one quite low down in looking better and she looks taut and strained and she has a strained taut carrier bag and this is what I felt -cool because you just don’t see the sky thing unit editorials and shopping in it and the shopping as I can milky colour and it’s been strained by the things inside it heavily and you can see the bag stretched and is a tension between that the tension in that’s attention with the beautiful lovely in sort of the word something that’s quite joyful and hedonistic but not you know it sort of she’s next to the fabrics that she’s wearing colour and happy and not in it you wouldn’t think that they have the woman were those things woman in the image with her life were those things and its it’s a story within itself which I suppose all editorials that successful ones are what I just found it really beautiful and very fitting what I will look at and is looking and the third part gas to this is the framing ID and very interested in reframing something in a different way of framing it again and replicating that frame the method and just see what happens maybe is not a play activity just to see how that X how that expands and develops tools and uninterested in repetition am interested in doing things over and over and over again to forget weaker or seeing if there truth is revealed by actually innocent the idea the concept actually becomes stronger and through it. Repeat repeat repeat repeat as photocopies and past that now I’m interested in I didn’t photocopy though did a scan of some rope in a six quite close to the bling because accurately enough and are just as it is interesting that if I saw because of the scan is quite 3D scan of realistic which is scan some rope but if I saw that I think it was real so I was interested in kicking about in the studio and taking a picture of something that is in the studio at many pencil case or blind just an individual blind or maybe something out the window and sticking it on the window and sticking it were pen sill case might be taking a photo that and then looking at that image and seeing whether you can tell those things aren’t really there maybe having a complete image which is just composites of all the things that were in the image originally and they’ve all been replaced circa go into room and I could replace all the thick take a picture I could zoom in on all those things and then I could take I could get them printed so they were the exact size of the article and obviously things can be really blurry but that’s okay because if I stand at the same point wrote the original photograph then surely everything would only be very slightly blurry down to the quality of the camera or maybe one day or maybe it wouldn’t be and so that’s interesting but mostly that’s just the thing I just thought of now rely on what I’ve been thinking of what is not consciously the most important thing with the framing thing of note is another trend of backstage fashion events do tend to take photographs of make-up artists and stylists and things like that working on them but I’ve noticed lately maybe it’s because of this whole, new West Kim Kardashian world where everyone has to know she’s definitely the whole tribe is propelled things like Instagram and the whole selfie world where you it’s acceptable to take picture of your face and and sharer and I thought and wanted to go into Sotheby’s for a while I feel it’s probably an oversaturated area but it’s very interesting when you see people on the train and the take off account and they put lipstick on the take the hair down and ignore the screaming children and they take pictures of themselves and then they put her back in a born the put the code back on what the lipstick of anonymity to the child when it’s absolutely in our wet red mess and the gut that the kid take care of it and you think I should have took a picture of uniting which of you now that’s the selfie not the one you are not not that that’s not selfie I know everybody holds a mirror up to these things and everyone’s got an idea everyone knows that there is no such thing selfie saw a self curated gallery of our own faces which yet is fine for actually taking a picture of someone who is just about to take selfie that could be good and also you know I’m interested in the science science behind these things the spent social scientists have said that this is an unprecedented time within society because we’ve never had a society that has been post-Internet and that’s something that we just do so many things that people can predict about the generation I was in so many things out with employment health and language social interactions were so many things that we knew beforehand with definite and now there are brand-new rules that they do not know about the newly knows we just have to see how it rides out see if we are better or worse and in the future because things are changing this is a generation that is changed in a society and in within our culture that’s interesting and that’s that’s part of it and am also interested in this to go back to the framing idea is a fashion shows you got pictures of that now its it’s a step back from that that’s that’s it because it reality celebrities and staff is that they tend to have someone going around with them in videos everything that car new doors so he’s filming his thing she’s got her staff whatever film camera people around her and they have people take pictures of them they take pictures of themselves and a lot of the time you’ll see like an overlapping with pictures and taking a picture and maybe someone taking a picture of someone taking a picture and you see a lot of that now because of everybody’s got camera on the pocket so there’s a lot of this overlapping people and only wonder which one is the image which runs the truth you know it’s a could be any of them really so I think that’s that’s something that definitely could be played with and and I was thinking of having an actor friend and sort of be directed by knee while she is there because that sort of I’m going to be shielding the act shall be saying the words she will know what the words are our Minnesota words should be same again and the audience won’t know who is the actor who will know all the gas the audience won’t know what the real source of the information is there won’t know which one is the true one to be confused which is great because it is confusing and will be there won’t know I think authorship is lost sort of authorship is interesting within that and who is a minute would be better to be even more people than just me and a friend only a really great have more people book I also do want some of it to understandable and I was thinking of have her do my trips I midpoint correct because she can explain what I’m thinking what I’ve been doing to the group I was wanted to get someone in to do my salary everyone and this is better as a game I can with this and it just it just so happens that I did and workshop, and I really like how instantaneous an act can be like how you don’t have to mean you could spend a long time working on things right things down you could also go if you got and you can say written words which I’ve been filing a very interesting that’s part of the whole language they must changing and I had asked Neil about his ideas on how they all fit together and at the time I did so it made more sense like it was more concise it shorter is a lot less and conveyed a lot more I think this is far more in depth and if I reread this a few times sort of trying carry on doing what I’m doing which is trying to explain my ideas to brand-new people and having that moment of being stifled words and not knowing what to say I think that could be really great and carry on doing that allegory reader and think about it a little bit more but I did manage to do those the tension in the photo could have been captured within a much smaller frame and so I’d like to take those and blow them up and perhaps create my own images and another thing that I’ve been analysing and analysing trends is obviously in the fantasy that come out is not just an editorial is wholly mean the mermaid unicorn fantasy that is being created now that I love seeing something come out as I could trend something come out that a few people like and then I like it when more people get interested in and I really like it when an advertising company gets hold their own product design love it when before you know it is unicorn cakes all look the same as unicorn phone holders that look exactly like the cakes I just love the knock-on effect of trends and people who get their version of that trend I found it really interesting enough to sit back and watch it happen sit back and watch these things on unravel and notice that there’s a lot of your ergot I mean an advert now and that is really interesting and pandering to the new source mean generation and its as crazy to me that it’s fascinating how’s soil over them bleed into everything else in whole corporations will adopt anything popular for the sake of appealing to the right people and appealing to the future people will be right for them their brand get this mermaid thing a curse on site more at a palatable version of the fantasy futurism lysine within fashion and it’s your nautical parenting that’s interesting how that sort of developed and absolutely bastardised by everybody you go I’m going to pound shop and pick up about 20 things with unicorns on them or a mean even sequins all apparently like unicorn Scales this just so it’s something I want to work with it’s the fanzine it’s a reality it’s the confusion even with all this does make sense but I thought I just can’t there is a sentence that I can explain it in maybe that will be the next thing I could do is to work out how to explain this within a sentence and doesn’t have to be an explanation it can just explain it doesn’t have to be a logical explanation you know a literal explanation because that might not be effective within a sentence that might not work it may require paragraph whereas if I can explain it within one sentence it may just be colours or objectives it could be anything it’s gonna have to be something a little bit more and I don’t know emotional and sensory than a description
A poem, it isn't really about missing words for things we can't articulate but it strengthens what I'm talking about
MISSING WORDS
I don’t know how many things there are in this world that have no name. The soft inner side of the elbow, webbed skin between the fingers, a day that wanders out beyond the tidal limits and no longer knows how to summon the moon it has lost, my firstborn who gazes about himself when the TV dies and there is a strange absence in his world. I was looking for a great encyclopaedia, the secret dictionary of all the missing words. I wanted to consult its index and find out what I could have become. The sound the clock makes when it is disconnected and taken down from the wall but can’t lose the habit of trying to jerk itself forward. The look of old socks drying on a rack in the kitchen all through a winter night, hanging starched and sad opposite the wedding photographs. A word for your face when you know you can’t love but would almost like to try. The blurred point of merger between fresh storm damage to a house and the deep fissures that have always been there. Walking down the corridor to the front door with inexplicable elation in my chest as if everything was about to start, as if my love had just arrived, escaped from a burning world, and at the same time clenched in my taut wrists, my hands, the thin bones of my arms, the certainty that everything has long been over.
