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!

Thanks Erin! Yours too. Yours is coming together a lot faster than mine but…it’s not a race. LOL

Thanks Roeshel. I told her she needed to paint the lettering but with all her homework she never had time so I just did it. When she came home from school and saw it, her reaction was worth it! 🙂

Cool. I have no idea where she wants to go. I think if she could visit every country in the world she’d love it. Where do you recommend visiting in Chile?
