Students entered Google Earth on their laptops and had to find a map of where they live, where they would like to live, or where they would like to vacation. Then, students took a screenshot of this location using JING or by holding down the command, shift, caps lock, 4 keys (on a Mac) at the same time and dragging a square over the image. Next they printed a black and white copy of the map and used black Sharpie to trace the lines and shapes they saw or wanted to emphasize. After, they traced or drew those blackened lines on another piece or paper, canvas, wood, etc. Finally, they completed the work with the media/medium of choice. I created an educreations video tutorial showing the steps I used in creating my work of art. Students may transfer their map in different ways (light table, chalk transfer, projector, etc.) depending on how they plan to create the work. In the sample work I created, I added a few additional marks/shapes to break up larger areas and to be creative.
