"Each Student will find ways to "drift" through the surrounding area of UNCG in search of aesthetic visual experiences often overlooked. To do this, students must take a closer look at the place we live and see things at a "micro-level"- highlighting the beautiful, corky and unique nuances of our city."
Originally all our photos were going to be made into one big book of the whole classes findings - but then our teacher decided to make us some how distribute our findings and make the work public - To let people know about what is often overlooked everyday.
The link above and here - www.oftenovergso.blogspot.com
is where I posted my 8 findings with photos and directions to them.
I made flyers for the blog and put them on Tate St and around the art building. I spent about 2 hours on making the poster itself... Its not as great as it could be but it is what it is and it grabs your attention.
I still have plenty and should distribute them further. I 'm going to try and keep up the often overlooked blog over the summer with similar items and things I might just find funny - If I get to photograph them - if not. I will try and write about them descriptively. I'm also doing an internship at Elsewhere Artist Collaborative this summer and its almost all about often overlooked items, So I might post photos and things I experience there at Elsewhere.
Our teacher also told us about this artist, Kate Pocrass, who he went to school with that he called the "queen of often overlooked". I got inspired by her journal of so called "mundane journeys" through her city, where she lives. I love the way she talks about things most people dont think about it and how poetic it is. You all should check her out at Mundanejourneys.com
I had a great semester in Design 1.
