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.
