一次缩放会话
坐.11月. 2024年9月9日上午9点至晚上12点

地图 have always told stories behind the geographic directions. And maps have a point of view (think flat Earth); they can be used to paint a nostalgic picture 和 they can be used to organize thoughts. +, we can embellish them 和 sketch them in a way that anchors a memory, adds to a diary or st和s alone as a unique image. 在这个课堂上, artist Judith Cassel-Mamet considers the stories that traditional maps tell, then explores ways to create your own. Starting with a pencil sketch involving simple lines, students go from global to granular―working from a bird’s eye view to pathways that inspire. Additional offerings include mixed-media techniques for illustrating memorable journeys with pen, watercolor 和 colored pencils. Students also learn about map elements including compass roses, 整齐的线条和图例, so they can create their own unique art maps. Feel free to imagine your home, 社区, 梦想, adventures or other narratives to illustrate your map. “This approach is perfect for everyone. Adventurous explorers 和 dreamers alike find that making art maps can enhance the experience as you create your personal narrative,Cassel-Mamet说. The material list is limited so students may explore this technique before making larger investments. Also, no experience in sketching is necessary.
