Map of Me

by Orla Bates

Our identity is created by ourselves as much as by the people, places and culture that surround us.

Project aim:
to explore the use of pen and ink, to build a vocabulary of mark making, to create a self-portrait in the form of a map showing internal and external influences that make up our identity.

Duration:
2 lessons, 1 hour each

Suitability:
3rd- 6th class

Integration Opportunities:
- S.P.H.E.: this exercise will promote self-awareness and help students recognise and appreciate their own individual abilities as well as those of others.
- Geography: this project provides an excellent opportunity to do mapping, and study walled cities.

Materials:
A3 recycled cartridge paper or card, water-based ink, pencil, brushes, drawing pens or black markers, tubs for ink, water tubs

Tips: - Set up the space so each child has access to a tub with a small amount of ink, another tub with water, drawing pens and brushes.

Useful Links:
https://www.touropia.com/walled-cities-in-the-world/ is a great source of images of walled cities around the world
