My Map Art

This year in the third quarter, we made map projects. We were supposed to convey our feelings about New York, certain parts of New York or even different places of the world into our map project. We were each given a New York subway map to make our project out of. We were also allowed to print or bring other maps of different places or a different map of New York. Our class had a couple of weeks to work on this project. There are no limits or rules to how it would look, we just needed to include a map. This was our first free project where we were just given one material and could make anything of it.

In my project I used three different maps. I printed out a zoomed in map of my home in New York, a zoomed in map of my grandmother’s home in California and a zoomed in map of my cousin’s home in Shanghai. This project was not very successful to me, but I feel like it included a lot of my feelings.
