PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
For this project, you will create a map of an imaginary or real land. For everything you draw, you must use a resource. You may work with one partner. 

REQUIREMENTS:
  1. Resources: For everything you draw, you must have a resource near you. If you can't find a good resource that is applicable to your skill level, Google what you're looking for followed by "drawing," or "easy drawing," or "line drawing," or "how to." For example, "how to draw a castle," or "drawing of an easy castle," or "line drawing of a castle."
  2. Packet: You must complete and turn in your packet (link below).
  3. Title: Your map must have a title.
  4. Size: You must fill the paper you're given. 
  5. Craftsmanship: You must exhibit your best craftsmanship (neatness).
  6. Effort: Use the most of every class period. 

OPTIONAL:
  1. Ripping edges: You may rip the edges of your map to make it look older. Rip it before you draw on it. 
  2. Dyeing: You may dye your map with coffee. This will make it look older (highly recommended).
  3. Color: You may color it with colored pencils (before dyeing it) or watercolors (after dyeing it).
