Drawing and Sketching Maps with Anya Toomre

Are you captivated by maps? Maps are everywhere and there are so many different types. They help to find our way, orientate ourselves, tell a story, visualize a path, and identify where things are. They can be personal or shared with others.

This 6-week workshop will explore different types of illustrative and metaphorical maps that we can draw. Traditional map elements will be addressed as well as making the maps personal and informative. One of the projects will be to draw a place that you know well and are connected to. Illustrating a map tells a story of a place that’s important to you. It’s a thing of beauty but also conveys useful information.                                                                                               

I will be using a sketchbook with ink and watercolor but you can use the materials you are comfortable with.  Considerations of map design will be addressed and discussed throughout the workshop with many examples of illustrated maps.

All skill levels welcome.
