Hand-Drawn Maps!
###Event Recap We had such a blast at our first Maptime Madison event! Thanks to all the people that joined in on the fun.
We were so impressed with the turnout, we had almost 30 people from all walks of life, including students at UW-Madison, cartography and GIS professionals, and even some kids!
Here’s some of our new Maptimers showing off their work at the end of the night. Check out our Twitter @Maptime Madison for more images of the incredible maps our new friends made. Keep up the great work!
@DylanMoriarty led our event on hand drawn mapping and we learned a ton from his beautiful slides and live tutorial. He put his slides online available here for those who are curious about the maps he used or want to teach others! Feel free to share.
###Next Maptime! We’ll be announcing shortly about our next meeting in December. Check your inboxes or our Twitter @Maptime Madison for the announcement!
Hand-Drawn Maps!
These days with most maps being made on the computer, Maptime Madison is going against the grain by kicking off with a session on hand-drawn maps. We’ll learn from @DylanMoriarty, a cartographer and illustrator (aka the “Bob Ross” of hand-drawn maps). We’ll go over the basic principles of cartography and put them to practice by making our own maps.
Maptime is inclusive - everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in on the fun!
Bob Ross clearly approves
###Supplies Supplies will be provided, but bring anything you like - paint, crayons, pastels, etc.
###When and Where? Wednesday Nov 5th 6pm - 8pm @ Madison Public Library: Central Library
201 W Mifflin St Madison, WI 53703
