There are different sources of reference open to you. We’ll look at a couple of example projects to illustrate this.

Project 1. Following a visit to the Minoan Exhibition at the museum - use the artifacts to influence the design of a modern kitchen appliance.

Here we have at least 2 obvious sources of reference open to us. The first and **Primary** Source of reference is – ancient Minoan artifacts. The Primary source is the material at the exhibition. Wait a minute! That means we can’t go straight to the internet. Are there any leaflets or postcards at the exhibition that we could use? Can we take photographs? No? Then start sketching! You can create some very exciting Mood boards using your own drawings. Make sure you also make notes about interesting features and colours – anything that will jog your memory when you get home and start your project. Maybe then you could look on the internet or go to the library and do a little background research on the Minoan period – but don’t let this over shadow the information you have already gathered.
