My first project brief on my degree (Eeek!)

My first few weeks on my degree course have included; intensive drawing, basic dye related textile techniques, some research tasks to get to know the resources available and lectures on various topics- it's been a really diverse few weeks. 

We have been given a project to complete over the first term that will incorporate all our drawing, research, lectures and samples, and I think for this reason the brief given is quite broad and open to interpretation. Its titled;

'Re-inventing the Ordinary'

Ideas;
We have focused a lot on plants/botanical drawings at uni.
