Primary Research - Liverpool Continued

I have a good few more hours to spare in Liverpool. Therefore I decided to visit the local museums to see how this could enhance my primary research.

The first museum I visited was the World Museum Liverpool. This was actually very science oriented as it presented skeletal structures of animals such as dinosaurs, and also displayed a series of insects which relate well to the food chain within science.

There was also a special section of this museum dedicated especially to space. This will be a key area of focus at the Lancashire Science Festival, therefore I explored this area in depth, taking photographs along the way.

I then also visited the Walker Art Gallery, which was a two minute walk up the road. This has a children's art extravaganza, where children could make arts and crafts, participate in story telling times, dress up, and use their imagination - unfortunately I was unable to photograph inside of this gallery, yet I took photographs of the art work which pointed the visitor in the direction of the gallery, to provide an insight into fun and education.

Therefore, from my Liverpool trip, I now have a further three albums to annotate. This means that I am a little behind on the annotation and must spend the next few days really getting on top of these.

After returning from my research trip, I spent the rest of the day annotating the photographs from the Ilkley Toy Museum, and also annotating pages where I discussed and developed the logo and character. After work today I will return to annotation, concentrating on the first of the albums I produced.

This week will really be a case of ensuring this research is up to date, and presenting the proposal on Thursday. I am awaiting confirmation on Monday that it is okay for a student to take on this proposal.
