New group project

Had my second class with Peter today and unfortunaltey we didn't look over the blogs, but hopefully we will do in a few weeks. In the mean time we've been set a new group project. In groups of four we are going to carry out primary research of a landmark in London. Our group made up of Max, Lucia, Josh and myself were given HMS Belfast, which I was really pleased with because I love History and the Warship is somewhere I will really enjoy researching. We've been given various points to go over, including the location, the History, the purpose etc of the landmark. I chose to look into the purpose and the History as they were the most appealing to me. There are eight points to cover so we all have four each and we are all going to do some primary research before we go to the ship next Tuesday. I'm really looking forward to the trip and gathering the information we need to create a 7 minute presentation.

Later in the afternoon we had our second Contextual studies lesson with Vishua in which we discussed the revolutions of comunnication in more detail and then listened to an interview conducted by Andrew Marr on BBC Radio 4 on the dying art of Handwriting. It was actually really interesting. They discussed how handwriting is sentimental, how it is personal and how people's characteristics are reflected through their handwriting. I think I will definatley listen to the rest of the interview.....

Also today Marionette discussed our ideas some more and have decided to go into the drop in creative review this Friday as a group so we can discuss our plans with the tutors and hopefully get some advice.
