yesterday we had a session with Elaine (our contextual studies tutor) and we were set a task to collect loads of images and information (5 Internet sources, 5 books, 5 magazines and 5 from other sources like our own drawings, questionnaires etc) relating to what we are studying or plan to be studying. i am going to be doing about launderettes and laundry and already planned to go to a launderette soon. Elaine suggested that i do a questionnaire. ha ha i thought about that when she was talking about the task that we needed to do but i don't know if i really wanna do that. no offence to anyone who frequents a launderette but i don't know what sort of people I'm going to run into there. but it would be fun if i find willing people who have interesting things. Elaine was really interested in the topic and especially like the idea of what the launderette means to the community, as in like some people might use it like housewives might go together, and for people who don't have a washing machine its like a vital place for there lives. i am actually very proud of myself as well because I've already taken out two books from the library. one is called 'Twentieth Century Design: Electrical Appliances" and the other is called "Kitchen Antiques". i found them both by searching 'laundry' on the library computer. there was two others but i thought i would ease myself in slowly. so i have sort of already started this task. tomorrow we get our briefing about our new project, but we pretty much know we have to do a project where our outcome is like a scarf or shawl and it has to be about Norwich like history or something, but not entirely sure about all of the specifications.
