for our map art project, first we had to think of the most complex and amazing idea for our project. Then we had to think of something even more complex. All of these ideas had to involve an NYC subway map. In the end I decided to cut silhouettes of different things around the city that mattered to me. Then to black out the parts of the city that I don’t know very well with spray paint.

As I worked through this idea I discovered that if I boosted the silhouettes with a little foam board then they would look even cooler. At this point I am at the part of the process where I will glue the silhouettes on the foam board then I will black out the parts of the map that I don’t need to use

Here is a photo of the piece so far:

this is my final map project
