World Map Subway Art
I finished painting our World Map Subway Art. Madison LOVES it!
She created a document with all the countries in all the fonts in the places she wanted them. Then, as with the World Map, we used the projector and traced them onto the wall.
Then I PAINSTAKINGLY hand painted them all.
I had to lay on the floor and climb a ladder. I spilled paint on my new floors three times…but got it done!
***Before anyone lets their OCD tendencies drive them nutty over the countries not being over their proper location — please realize that we were NOT trying to create a geographically correct map. 🙂
We wanted to create visually interesting subway art with all the places Madison wants to visit…and there’s a world map in the background.
This was Madison’s vision.
She found the world map she wanted to use. She created the Document with all the countries she wanted to include and picked out all the funky fonts that made it difficult for me to paint.
AND SHE LOVES IT!
I have to admit…I think it’s pretty cool myself!
Ha. I’m sure she’l get sick of us soon enough. LOL (And then I’ll make this my office.)
LOL Totally! Luckily we’ve knocked a few out already.
Maddie suggested making another small map with pins in one color for all the places she wants to go and then another color for the places she’s been. Another project for another day…
Thank you Nancy.
Thanks Cheri. The bed is supposed to go in front of it. I might cry. LOL I kept telling Maddie that all those countries at the bottom won’t be visible…but she insisted that we paint them anyway. We’ll always have these pictures. LOL
