Homework

In Highmore's passage "homework" , he first talk about "home and work", by giving Charles Chaplin as an example, of how he is dedicated to machine assembly work: everyday he repeats the same steps of assembling, and when this becomes a routine, his concentration can be relaxed, and his mind can be used to do other things, such as daydreaming. And by Lefebvre, this is called a "reverse image". The way Chaplin's experience of routine contributed to his later film work, is by participating in this kind of machine himself, he can feel of the truth of relationship between human and machine, thus he can express this relationship in his film performance more lively, and this is how it is contributed to aesthetics. 

However Chaplin's example cannot apply to normal people that is basically doing office work, so in the next part he furthermore talks about aesthetic and everyday in a more specific way. In "art, experience and everyday life", Dewey's essay is quotes, and we can see that "everyday experience is thus figured as the material basis of aesthetics", here experience is in general instead of "an experience". From his perspective of view, an aesthetic of routine centers on the notion of inchoate experience.

He then talks about how doing cooking and childcare is related to aesthetics. For example, when it comes to childcare, children is trained to get used to some routines, and even this training process is tedious, they could still obtain a lot of joy.

My personal view of routine and aesthetic is that by experiencing a daily routine, you can always explore a pattern or some special relationship between something, and when you combine this pattern with your emotions and thoughts at every specific moments, and when you jump out of the routine and go back to see all of this, it can create some kind of aesthetic with your daily life.
