Janet Takahashi - The Artful Craft of Map-making
Create an illustrated hand-drawn map with ink and pointed pen, and bits of color. Explore event maps, travel sketchbooks, mind maps, and imaginary places. Develop your own process for making maps communicate and tell stories by combining elements of map lettering, drawn symbols, banners and decorative elements, a rose compass, and a 3-D landscape.
