Working on the wall reminded me of some sort of interface I saw once...like the wall, it had little "webs" of ideas(?). There was a big idea everything connected to, and then littler ones branching out.
Before we started the project, I thought everyone would follow the rules, and we would all write the same way, but it turns out that some people purposefully (?) bent the guidelines, and we all had our own different style of capital block letters. This resulted in everyone's wall coming out a little differently not only in interests, but the shape of the web, the handwriting, or even how people drew their lines connecting to their likes!
While working on the wall, it was a little crowded, which wasn't that fun, and my arms got sore from holding them up for a long time...however, I liked that a lot of people were chattering, and there didn't seem to be any problems with space and such.
I think this was a great 1st group project for the year! It's a good way to find out about people...we can walk up to the wall and look at everyone's interests....I didn't get that much of a chance to look at the wall, but just from the few webs that I looked at, I found some interests I had in common with other people!
If you were looking at the wall in a metaphorical point of view, this could be considered a "class picture".
-Will edit later into a proper paragraph-
Thoughts about the wall:
-It reminded me of something...an interface or something else....
-I think it turned out to be an good introduction piece for STAC. We can just walk up to it and see the person's name and what they like....
-I expected everyone to follow the rules, but some people didn't. However, I found it funny how some people purposefully(?) bent the rules, while other people stuck to them.
-Everyone's "web" came out a little differently...whether it was the shape, or the handwriting...the way the thoughts branched out....
-It was a little crowded on the wall, which wasn't that fun. Also, holding your arms up for a long time made them sore.
-We did the wall sort-of spontaneously, so I was wondering if it would look better if we planned it a little more
-We were all on the same wall, but we all had our own little corners...(SYMBOLISM of how we're all in STAC, but we all have our own interests~?)
-I wish we had more time to look at it before writing a journal about it.
"We were all on the same wall, but we all had our own little corners..."
ReplyDeleteSymbolic of life?
I appreciate these first ideas of yours - I was looking for a quick impression of what we did today, not something considered at length. We will be considering the piece at length, and across a span of time. It turns out to be much richer in all ways then I expected, than I think anyoneofus expected.
"We were all on the same wall, but we all had our own little corners..."
ReplyDeleteSuper Symbolism here, in STAC, life or whatever we choose. God, I'm just in love wit this statement.
"I found it funny how some people purposefully(?) bent the rules, while other people stuck to them."
Why would one want to 'purposely' break the rules? Rules are made and only meant to be broke within reason. Rules aren't made to be broken only for individuality, there should be something more. This funny and sorta ironic that you noticed this.
