Before I started drawing the map I thought I was going to be able to remember a lot more of campus considering I lived there. I started drawing and found that I started with Parkside dorms and branched out from there. It was quite easy at first adding the surrounding buildings and parking. I quickly realized tho the further from the dorms I got the less I remembered. Upper campus of my map is completely none existence because first I ran out of room but even if I had room I wouldn’t be able to fill it. It was interesting to look at it as whole because you can clearly see where the details are focused and where I had trouble remembering.
I am real disappointed with my human Spirograph. I want to try it again with one of my friends instead of my sister and see if I have better luck because we could not figure it out. For the process of making the Spirograph my sister and I first were really giggly because it was a bit silly to be holding hands on a marker, criss-cross with our eyes closed. After we stopped giggling we waited for a while but nothing seemed to happen. We decided to try again with a color pencil then again with oil pastel, and then again finally with a marker again. It actually became a little frustrating and I found myself trying to make myself move the marker at times. Eventually we just had to call it. The results look like a baby first holding a marker to paper. It shows all the awkward marks me made from starting and stopping and jagged lines from us trying to readjust. I am real curious as to how it was supposed to work and I hope to try it again with someone else in the future.
