Lab Hours

4 hours Went to the Museums Collection Center at the Mc Clellan Park.

Lab hours

50 minutes at the museum to finish drawing the remaining objects.
2.5 hours reading and taking notes on Burcaw
1 hour setting up the blog with the listed museum objects (it took a couple attempts with different    computers and transferring photos from phone and email etc… not too bad)
30 mins skimming through any related information I could find on the internet.

wikipedia on 'Peaks of Lyell' by Geoffrey Blainey

After Carrie mentioned today in a post she was reading a book with mention of the Beardsley's, I tried finding extra information on the writers and the book.  I began with wikipedia:

lab hours

• 1 hour creating the blog and began being acquainted with using the blog through the phone (which is not as fast as I'd like)
•  20 mins added the links of classmates blogs (took some figuring out, but not too much)
• 40 mins attempted to draw the objects, I will have to draw the remaining 2 on tuesday.  Took pictures of the teacup and fan.
• 30 mins surfed the internet to see what came up for the descriptions of the objects that I have. 

Miscelaneous findings

I am still getting aquainted with the blogger site and attempting to post a link to an interesting article I came across. Also I am trying to see how the site works from my phone.
