Journal Map-Making
Jill Berry
Humans have making maps for thousands of years: it is an urge some of us can’t resist. In this class, we will create “maps” of our life experience. These maps of the imagination can record our journeys of the past, future, backyards, hopes, dreams, and mythological places. I consider myself an explorer, and yet I have a need to know where I am at any given point, so my journals are full of maps. We will start with some traditional map-making protocol (legend, cartouche, etc.) and go wild from there, making flat maps and pop-up maps to give “direction” to our journals. And don’t worry, do not need drawing skills, anyone and everyone can do this, I promise!
Supply List:
- Your journal
- Micron pen, Pitt fine pen, ultra-fine Sharpie, or other fine tip black pen that is waterproof
- Marking Pens (Pitt are my favorite), colored pencils or whatever medium you like to use to add color. I will bring pencils to share.
- Pencil and eraser
Optional: - Set of small alphabet stamps
- Stamp pads (I like Adirondack dye inks)
- Stencil brushes
- Your Journal
Teacher will Provide: - Papers for maps
- Lots of handouts
- Coloring materials
- Stamps and pads
