Music Monday “LAND” Map Assignment: Self- Assessment 

Curricular Response

For this assignment I chose the quotation “From California to the New York islands” because of the map I chose. I felt like it was appropriate since it was a physical map so I could put it crossing those two states in my map. I felt like it was fitting for the assignment because this didn’t just happen in one area of the United States of America. It happened everywhere. To support my quotation I chose to draw out a map with directions from California to New York. I felt like this drawing was the most accurate way to represent the quote.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

How did you select images and words to create meaning?  What this easy for you? Why or why not? 

When I was finishing this assignment I have a very hard time putting in drawings that would effectively and accurately support and create meaning for these extremely powerful quotations. I really tried to pick simple yet meaningful images to attempt to draw to help shed light of the quotations. Because these quotes have a extremely deep meaning that you have to really encode and thing about to get the true meaning of what the artist was trying to get across. I found I had a pretty difficult time doing this because I found my self constantly second guessing myself and thinking I wasn’t choosing the right image for it. When choosing quotations I chose quotes that I found stuck out to me and I thought would fit good on my map.
