​​Gathering your tools for thought!

o What are important buildings that are CENTRAL to your life?​

o What attracts you to these buildings?​

o Where are these buildings in relation to each other?​

o Where is a city that you would like to explore?

o Why are people drawn to famous landmarks (ex: The Louvre, The Empire State Building, Big Ben)?​

Explore and sketch your buildings of interest using Google Maps to begin your draft. Then, use Google Sketchup to construct a city that better reflects you.  Looking at a little art history, you will learn how famous cartographers decorated their maps. With this knowledge, your last step will be to decorate the border of  the new map!
