Art: Mapmaking

In order for others to explore and experience their islands, the girls made maps and labeled the special features.  The maps show how to move around the island: where to go and where not to go!  They did an image search of maps on their iPads to see the different ways others show information about a place using line, pattern, color, texture, symbols, and space.  The discussions during mapmaking included everything from scanners to make sure you are friendly to bridges made of rainbows to get you from point A to point B.  The girls named their islands and they will be on display next month in the administration building.
