Being able to read and MAKE maps can greatly increase your understanding not only of this world & our surrounding cosmos, but it also introduces new skills for collecting & visually interpreting data, history, cultural mythology (and more!) as well as how to produce a range of artistic possibilities for professional lettering artists challenged with big projects; everything from a map that works with a wedding invitation suite, to natal horoscopes, genealogical research for family trees & migrations, military campaigns, cemetery markers, tourism, parks, gardens, museums, resorts, and more.
Cartography sits at the intersection of information and imagery, and this five-week class will be jam-packed and inspirational. We will explore the fundamentals of a select types of maps (thematic, pictorial, area, topographic, etc.) in each class specially aimed at studio artists who wants to broaden their scope of work for their clients. Students will be creating notes and samples by hand, looking at traditional map making methods (that can be later photographed and scanned to digital) to serve as a springboard for your future projects.
