Mapping UNCC

The assingment was to go to various places around campus and document any instance of Literacy Underlife that we saw. Whether it be a conversation someone is having, artwork, or even various movements a person makes.
I chose to go to three different locations: The library, Belk Tower, and lastly I just walked around Oak (where I live) to look for various instances of Underlife.

This is what I wrote down in my daybook....



If you look closely you can see that I noticed the most instances of Underlife while I was sitting at Belk tower, however while I was walking around Oak looking for instances of Underlife I stumbled upon some graffiti painted on the wall around one of the walk ways.


This is the picture of the graffiti. Even though I found so many instances of Underlife at the Belk Tower I chose to mark the place I found the graffiti on the map because I think art is one of the easiest ways to express yourself and art is almost always beautiful. Plus I really like the message of this art because I think it serves as a friendly reminder that we arent the only people on this planet so we need to remember to share this planet we live on.

 

 Sorry about how unorganized this post is, once I inserted the pictures organization just went out the window.

  1. Hey Cory! I liked how you integrated graffiti into your mapped literacy of UNC Charlotte. We wouldn't always thing of these pictures as a good thing, but they are certainly a great example of literacy! I found it interesting that you looked for examples in more than one place, indicating a longer thought process on the given task.

  2. Hey Cory I like that you chose the graffiti on the wall because I think art is the best way to relate to literacy and express yourself. It is what I connect with the most even though I can't draw at all. As Lydia said I like how you went to more than one place to figure out what you wanted to do.

  3. Hey Cory,
    First off, those pictures were though provoking. I like the one with the brick wall although I cant tell what is written on it. I also thought that your object choice of literacy was interesting. I didn't see the structure as a pen, but now taking a second look it could be a gigantic pen.
