The interview and video clips were not as useful as I hoped they would be although it was definitely more enjoyable to have a change in information type. Because previously, my sources were all from books so it was a nice change. Annotating and making notes on these clips were difficult because of the vocabulary used. Some words were hard to pick up and others I just did not know. But I still got some notes which is good.
I did not follow with the plan very much so I need to use time more efficiently and effectively. I still have not found one source that focuses on the change of impact of calligraphy on our daily lives compared to say, if we were living back in the times (during the dynasties when calligraphy was considered essential for education. Also, I did not do much even though I had so much time (procrastinating). So I will have to finish up tomorrow morning with the interview in addition to what I have planned.
