While working on the cognitive map of Long Beach State it was easy at first and relaxing because I felt that I remembered most of the campus. however, after a couple of buildings, I realized that I did not know many of the names of these buildings near the Library and ran out of space for the rest of the campus.
I added my favorite tree to relax under that is in front of the galleries next to the art store on campus because it is important to me. My close friend Isabella who is an art student in CSULB share this location with me to cloud gaze and just focusing on nature to get out of our heads. This campus has many trees which is one of the things I appreciate the scenery. Therefore this activity was a path down memory lane considering current events (Covid-19) that keep me away from public areas. Yet, I would do this again to see how much I can remember and new memories to recall.
For this part of the activity, my sister and I used my old board to tape the pieces of paper once more to play a game. We picked our color pens and started to draw with our eyes closed. We laughed a lot at first but then we just started moving the pens in circular motions that you can see on the left more prominently. While on the right it is just swift motions and interference of the middle piece which looks like a flower or balloon dog.
After we finished the drawing I noticed that we went wide on the motions and jumped around a lot on the page. Some of the lines are shaky and end abruptly but easy to see. There is still some white visible but space was all used. All in all, it was fun and entertaining to do.
