Made a start on recording a narration of the school run. I was nervous about how it would sound and what I would say so I’ve been procrastinating. But today I’m early and so I decided to stop and set up the phone to start recording. I recorded a narration of the journey from Bisley to Oakridge. It’s the start of the creative process. I’ll see where it takes me.
Art whilst driving part two
An Instagram post musing about making art whilst driving turned into our most engaged with post yet. It prompted a discussion of possible things to try.
Maps
“Maps helped to promote the idea of a friendly and welcoming land”.
Quote from the Renaissance map collection at The American museum, Bath.
Driving log
A crochet stitch for each minute spent during that day. Change colour each day.
How to Make art whilst driving
Alternative ways to measure or mark time without clocks
Sand, water, sun, seasons, counting, songs, poems, prayers, lines on sticks or walls, bells
Sandtimer activities
Instead of using a clock to measure time we could use sand timers to time specific activities. We could plan the day in advance. Know what length of time is available and how long we want to spend on each task, then ditch the clocks and use sand timers to measure and guide us through the day.
Time pacman

This is my new game. Every time I think that I don’t have enough time or I’m rushing, I draw another line on the hangman. I wonder how many times a day I will get ‘hanged’.
