Challenge: Map

Challenge: Map

In this challenge you're going to make a map. Using only a pencil or a single color of pen, try drawing a map of a journey you frequently make in your local area or on your campus. Plot all of the necessary points that someone would use to confirm they're following the map correctly. If it's outdoors, then places like shops or gas stations or mailboxes, anything like that is fine, and it's okay to use words to support your drawing at this stage. Once you've added all of the necessary details, redraw the map however you like, but try adding colour to replace some of the words and aim to remove as many words as possible. You might need to add a key or legend in order for it to make sense, but see if you can make the map easier to understand using colour as information.
