AHT273 Podcast Showcase
For one of their assessments in our Art History & Theory elective The Object Sensorium: Material Culture in Context, students were tasked with recording a 5‑minute biography on an object of their choice.
Using one of the five senses (touch, smell, taste, sound, or sight) as an investigative frame, students analysed of one aspect of their object. Potential aspects explored include use/function, history, production, design, material features, aesthetic properties, collection, consumption, display and more.
Tune in to some of the brilliant responses below.
