My collection blog

definition
light: a miracle tha makes the darkest of things visible to the eye

1o things in my collection
  1. A regular lightbulb-this is going to be a regular lightbulb for an ordiany lamp. It is going to be white and round. 95 watts
  2. A regular altered lightbulb - this is also going to be a regular white lightbulb,however I am going to write words on the outside of the bulb. Im also going to paint the base magenta.95w
  3. A spiral lightbulb-this is a spiral lightbulb and it looks very different that other lightbulbs. It is white and its an Energy saver light bulb.23 w
  4. Large lightbulb-this lightbulb is larger than the rest of the lighbulbs I will have in my collection.It has silver looking glass but inside you can see a smaller spiral lightbulb. 15w
  5. Small lightbulb- this is the smallest lightbulb in my collection. Its about two and a half inches in length and it clear. You can see the inner workings. It has 2 metal rods sticking out to connect to a lamp.
  6. Piece of plywood-this is the only thing in my collection that is not directly relevant to the rest of the things. However it will serve to put all my lightbulbs together. I will be painting on it too.
  7. Wire-I will use wire to attach it to the ends of my light bulbs and attach that to my plywood. That way the lightbulbs will be hanging. Im either going to use red or bronze wire.
  8. Light switch-I am going to connect the wires to a light switch to give the illusion that when you flip it the lights will turn on, but obviously they will not, therefore the lightbulbs are only an illusion.
  9. Part of a cable plug-I will use the input part of a guitar cable to put in my collection. It is silver and about 2 inches in lenth. It fits in with my collection because it is powered by electricity.
  10. Lastly, I will use the lights from the classroom to be in my collection. If the lights are not turned on nobody can see my collection. So once you turn the lights on it automatically becomes part of my collection;

  1. I think the key for your work is to activate the idea that the classroom lights are part of the experience of your work. You cannot assume that people will directly get the idea of the classroom lights being part of the work. You have to guide them to that point mentally using calculated strategies in your work.
