Peabody Museum visit

Seeing artifacts at the museum was a great way to start thinking about materials studies. The biggest thing I got out of the visit is that any material can be utilized to fit a need. Such as what we saw with the banana  fibers ,which I assume would be a difficult material to work with, was being used in a variety of ways. If you approach a material by focusing on one "unit" at a time it is possible to see how one can create a larger form.
