A tree instillation that comes throughout the ceiling to show exposed roots. Attached to the roots are small lights. We could do a similar thing but attach acetate to the bottom of the roots along with some lights

We want to create an experience/activity that will stimulate visitors minds

Want to help them access their creativity in a way that is not forceful, but is organic

We want to put them in the right state of mind (mindfulness) that will make them want to engage with the exhibition and make them view the museum in a new way

Consider using sound and light/manipulating lighting and sound to create an atmosphere that gets viewers in a state of mindfulness

Consider integrating this idea into the hanging drawings/acetate idea

Vortex Projected Art Installation with Sound

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
I projected a vortex onto the floor of Campus Center Building at East Tennessee State. The image was looped and accompanied by a wind tunnel like noise. The work was on display for about 9 hours of the school day. I filmed the vortex using water, gesso and ink.

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas to consider: using sound as a means of getting people in the right state of mind

Create an object that viewers can touch/play with that creates sound - engages the sense of touch and hearing

Viewers can be blindfolded and will have to draw what they felt/heard - the lines, what they thought it was, etc.

One of the things Birmingham museum did to get its visitors to interact with the exhibition is giving their visitors magnify glasses. This was particularly aimed at children. It encourages them to take a closer look at the exhibition and objects.

Derby museum logo created using three layers of acetate and using marker pens. However, it may be best to use paint as the pens are streaky and you cannot layer it up.

Practice layering acetate for the mobile or booklet/ leaflet.

This was a section of the exhibition which was more interactive and aimed at families because of the seating as well as the use of iPads which were linked to the images on the screen. Overall, the experience was not too bad, but those who are older may find it boring. Or easily switch off.
However, there were some ideas and aspects of it that can be infused with our Finding Lines project.

# data[].attributes.body
In this part of the exhibition the put a short sequence behind some wooden planks this meant that it was more difficult to view. We could use a similar idea using lights behind our work to give different effects and make the mobile more interesting to view.

# data[].attributes.body
As part of an installation, this person used a mixed media effect with different drawing pens such as different colour sharpies and explored it with acetate. It's a really playful method and the incorporation with markers makes it almost child-like and playful. As well as, the overlaying idea with fabric which it was later displayed on within the exhibition.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
I used different coloured sharpies to draw onto the acetate, as I have explored previously. I kept the colours similar to those that have been featured on the fabric that I have also featured within my exhibition. I have chosen to do 6 pieces as I wanted them to be a series almost to allow them to both contrast and compliment each other.

A-level Textiles final piece.  Using a variety of techniques including acetate trappings, screen print on perspex and wadding trappings.

The image below is an example of how acetate has been used within a booklet.
The image shows how type can be added to the acetate so we can layer text or add a layer of colour.

# data[].attributes.body
We could incorporate this idea but more as a booklet that bring all the work together in some type of way, so drawing can be celebrated as well as collaborating to make a unique piece of work

Image of Acetate drawings from YIS IB Year show 2010. It goes along the idea we are trying to explore which includes suspending things and Acetate. Also, with this, there seems to be a walk through element to it which adds as well as the range of angles in which the drawing can be seen from.

Osvaldo Romber's exhibition using acetate. The exhibition hangs from the ceiling and enables people to walk the ought the art to see it. Acetate can also be used to play with colour and layer up images

# data[].attributes.body
Adam Kemp's exhibition encouraged people to participate in art and drawing by adding to a community space of art. Originally their was art on the wall that people added to. This suggests that people are more will to take part in art when they see other people's work, which is something we would like to include in our project.

# data[].attributes.body
The first initial idea created using found objects while at the Silk Mill workshop. The image below is one of three mobiles that would be placed at different heights from the ceiling.

Craft area will need to have a variety of materials to give viewers as much creative freedom as possible - this will also help the project to be composed of a wide range of materials.

Promotes creativity
Fun activity for parents and children to get involved in

# data[].attributes.body
There should be some sort of craft table where audiences can get materials from in order to create work for the piece.

They will somehow have to be led to this table - maybe seeing/interacting with the work already up will get them interested in it and make them curious, but they will have to know how to find this.

Interesting way to play with colour, texture; draw the eye, attract attention.

The areas where the collaborative mobile artworks are placed can be lit with different coloured lights.

The lights could represent certain groups of people who contributed to those pieces:

Each colour could represent an age group/mood/style

Maybe people would feel more comfortable working amongst similar thinkers?

Maybe people would feel more comfortable working with people of the same age/the same skill set, etc.

Colours could be used to classify in a way

# data[].attributes.body
Walls/columns/certain areas of the museum could be lit with colour.

Walls/columns/certain areas of the museum could flash with coloured lights every few seconds.

Could guide the viewers to the collaborative art project if it is placed in a certain part of the museum, or could just be used to add to the appeal and stimulate creativity whilst touching on the colours used in the museums identity.

# data[].attributes.body
Use colour as a stimulus for creativity + reference the Derby Museum brand identity

# data[].attributes.body
Could use various materials to hang the artwork up to create different looking mobiles.

Make the project as a whole look more varied and colourful - emphasise the idea that it is made-up of several peoples' work, there is not just one thought/artist but several.

Signifies different age groups, moods, personalities, styles, cultures, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Project could look similar to this, but composed of a combination of drawings, photos, origami, objects, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I envision the project to be some sort of mobile/suspended exhibit that the museum-goers can interact with as they walk through the museum and contribute to as they please

A collaborative exhibit
A growing piece of art

Characteristics of the project:

Can either be in its own separate area of the museum or scattered across the museum so that visitors will see and walk through/interact with it while viewing other work (scattered in groups)

The project will continue to grow as people contribute to it

Audience will have the freedom to create what they want based on what has inspired them/their moods/their feelings/their thoughts/what they have seen at the museum: this can be drawings/paintings/etc, origami/folded paper, makeshift objects, photographs taken

Work created will be suspended on string/rope/wire throughout the museum

Audience will have the freedom to choose where to place their work and could even potentially be able to move/reorder other peoples work to create something new (work will be hung on wire using magnets so that it is moveable)

# data[].attributes.body
We got into groups and began to create a prototype based on the materials that were provided.

We came up with the idea of a room that had suspended pieces of string-like material that evoked questions about the visitor's mood and a group of objects, resulting into drawings based on those questions.

We made holes out of the plastic cups and threaded the wire through  it and the black card (question paper).

The idea itself was good but needed more refinement and a deeper reflection and research on the brief itself.

But overall, we discovered a starting point which we'll explore further.

Purpose of exhibition:
Drawing is a mindful activity that has wellbeing benefits. To present a sequence of drawings that will interest and inspire visitors. Encourage visitors to contribute to the exhibition; participate in series of programmed activities and events.

Mindfullness:
Mindfullness is a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment. With mindfulness we can work with our minds and bodies

Project:
Create an experience, activity or tool that encourages engages with the drawing exhibition.  That also encourages and enables visitors to continue to engage with drawing after they are back at work or home.

Target audience:
Families and tourists without patronising those informed and interested in drawing
