  1. Josh Freud says:

    Surcoat (Jimbaori) 17th Century

    Research Questions:

    1. Where was the object made?

    2. How does the object better our understanding of the place that it was used?

    3. Where did the materials used come from?

    4. Could it be used for more than one purpose?

    Hey Freud,

    First and foremost, I really like your drawing. The details are superb.
    Now for the research questions:

    1) This is a good question, but I think you can take it a couple steps further. You could ask who manufactured it, or how they manufactured it. Who bought the object from the manufacturer? For what cost?

    2) Great question. I love it. It really makes you pay attention to the certain details of the object such as what it is made out of, what it might be used for, and what kind of style or artistic representation it has.

    3) This question relates to the first question, and I think you can ask even more detailed questions. Who assembled the object? What were the materials? Where did the manufacturer get those materials?

    4) Another great question. This shows that there a main function or an original reason why it was manufactured. However, it also shows that there could be a creative use for the object that might not have been its original purpose.
