Brainstorm My Summer Project


My summer project was based on recording your 5 senses within you summer. Touch, Sound, Smell, Sight and Taste. I would record this in all various ways. For example, the smell of food, rub the contents onto a tissue paper, or take the smell of the food and break it down, from its spices which would be stored in a air tight bag.
For touch, the simplest way to record this is by describing the feeling of the material or taking a sample of the material, where its possible. For example, one of my summer days I went to record the sense of touch in Designers Guild , where it a TOUCH heaven, the different arrays of texture, the velvety softness of the  striped velvet with a rich and luxurious texture of the swatches, the tough dry bristly feel of the wallpaper. The cottony leathery feel of the upholstered sofas and couches.

As London is a perfect binding of the past and the present, a city with so many places to visit that one couldn't find the time to view them all as for sound London is buzzing with it. This could include, buses, footsteps, trains and tubes pulling up and disembarking, the early morning rushes and the home run mourns. London is filled with the up most sound that you could not take time to listen to all.

Hi Jane,
This post needs to be much more detailed reflecing your great mindmap of summer hols. I would like you to make sure you present all of the recordings from yor five senses in great detail. This can be in the form of written descriptions, video and audio recordings, drawings, found objects etc. Look at the way Khanna has documented her summer. She is particularly good at writing however yours could be nore visual.Go for it!!
