Question Answer

Exit Question Week 6

Look around your home, locate an object of design that you own, one that creates a sense of nostalgia for you.

Nostalgia is a feeling of sentimental longing, typically for a period or place with pleasant personal associations.

Referencing the weekly readings explain how this chosen object creates a sense of nostalgia- is it generated through its design, construction, or a meaning imparted on the object through use?

 Include an image of your chosen object.

Submission should be between 250-300 words and submitted as a word document or pdf. It should answer the question, make reference to the reading and include your own opinions or observations. Citations are not needed unless you are referencing additional materials.
