Object Study:

This is your opportunity to consider the types of artifacts and objects we consider important to telling

histories of the built environment. We also want to explore how we look at objects and how they can

connect us to the histories we’re learning about from the textbooks and lectures.

In the museum, consider how you document the item:

1. Do you choose to photograph the item, or draw it, or some other means?

2. How much detail do you choose to show, are there scratches or wear that are significant to

document?

3. How can you show scale in your documentation?

4. How might you indicate materiality or color in your documentation?

Later at home you should research this object according to the following questions:

• Who were the original makers of the object?

• Can you find out information about where this object was made and the context?

• What was the use of this item, what was its function in daily life?

• In other words, how would you connect this item in the museum with the historical context of

its making. This will require outside research than what is available in the museum or the

textbooks.

• You might choose for instance to match your selected artifact with an architectural example

from the same time and geography to make a comparison or speculation.
