MAPPING

     This was an interesting read.  I enjoyed the idea of creating art of political statements by creating maps. This is really a great time to bring up this topic.  About a week ago, my Political Sociology professor showed us these cities around the world.  These maps were bright and colorful.  They also served to prove his point about the government becoming more centralized and creating more organized cities as the years move on.









     This mapping technique clearly shows the progressing organization from the older cities to the newest in America.  Mapping is a very clever and quick way to show this information.  Just describing the change in the organization of cities doesn't make the idea clear enough.
     I loved the artist Biaussat and his "green line."  It sent a strong message about how arbitrary the border is and about how ridiculous it is that people are dying over it.
