I really enjoyed my experience when I drew the map of CSULB. Once I got a clear outline of the map, I was able to easily fill in all the building. It was very therapeutic because once I started remembering the building and where everything was placed, then I started to remember everything else. It was interesting because I have looked at the map before online, and with the help of remembering how the campus looks, I was able to mostly draw the full map. When I did the automatic drawing activity, my brother helped me out. I kept my pencil still while he turned the paper. I didn’t know what to expect or how my design would turn out. It was interesting because the design could change depending on how the paper is being turned.
I was very pleased with how my CSULB map turned out. There were a couple things I didn’t remember, but for the most part, I was able to fit everything on the map. Once I finished my map, I started to remember small details that I didn’t have room for, like the streets surrounding the campus, the dorms, and more of the buildings behind the library that’s on upper campus. For my automatic drawing, I wish my drawing looked a little different, but it as very organic, so I wasn’t worried too much about it. I would definitely like to draw the map again just to see more of what I can remember.
