For this project you are asked to analyze your own bedroom or sleeping arrangements in detail - what it contains and how it is decorated. This can be your bedroom at home, your dorm room, your apartment, or whatever sleeping space you occupy.

1) Discuss the history of the space and contents, materials they are made from, construction, design, and function. How does it compare to other bedrooms? What are it's aesthetic qualities?

2) What sort of activities occur in this space? Relate the objects to who made, sold, bought, and uses them. What human behavior is associated with it?

3) What personal, economic, social, political, religious, or cultural assumptions motivate the way you use the space and the objects within it? What meaning or significance does it have for you?

4) How do you feel about this space or room? How does your bedroom function as a vehicle of delight, and communication?



Mount this project on your project2.html web page.

Be sure to include a local link to your home page.

Include at least two specific references to the reading with page numbers. (Calvert, Carson, Cromley).

Pay careful attention to grammar and spelling. If there are more than five errors, you will lose points.

Also consider the design of the page, including graphics and background. It does not have to be fancy, but take advantage of some of the possibilities of html. Don't just use it as a word processor.

This project is due Tuesday, September 30. Hand in a paper copy.
