Description
Introduction
This OpenLearn course concentrates on describing objects. You will be reading and writing descriptions and considering why descriptions are important. Throughout the course, you will be exploring how things and words written about things are inextricably linked. You will focus on an object in isolation from the society which made it and works on developing the meaning of an unfamiliar object through the use of description. Next, you will focus on using observation as the basis for developing a model of an object life cycle (its production, consumption and afterlife) to structure an object biography.
