I decided to follow the instructions and print out the maps from the ArtK12 website. That was easy. Cut on the lines and tape them together. That was easy too. I cut out the wee color photos too, though I was not sure where they fit in. That too was easy. And NOW I was ready to follow the pages in this book. The next step involves going page-to-page labeling countries (write small), drawing in borders here and there, finding the most northern, southern, eastern, and western points in Europe, and other related activities. Lo and behold! My next task was to draw animals with step-by-step instructions. My map was getting more and more full, but I persevered. I should say that I immediately noticed the outlines of the countries were a bit…soft and rounded looking. It is almost a cartoon map you are working from. Here and there, I taped the small color photos of natural wonders to the map. It is all making sense now and I am having fun doing it! I decided that I had done enough of the book to understand how to share my experience. In labeling, adding things gradually, and reading a bit about this and that, I was looking at my map repeatedly. If I were a student, I would start to learn the countries! And the animals! And my directions! I found the looseness of the map encouraging – my drawing did not have to be perfect to demonstrate my knowledge. By Jove, she gets it! A student can certainly do this series independently and have fun doing it. Since you are not actually doing any writing in the book itself, you can easily use this resource for multiple students. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of ArtK12 Draw the Natural Wonders of Europe
In ARTK12’s Draw the Natural Wonders of Europe your students will learn the major mountains, lakes and rivers of Europe by both labeling them and drawing them on a map. In addition, students will learn the important flora and fauna of the region using easy step-by-step instructions to create their own drawings.
Combine
geography, geology, animals, and art and you have this series. Sound like a fun
way to learn? The nonconsumable book walks you through the process of creating
a big map from scratch, but you are using PDFs, rather than writing in the
book. Print the downloads as needed or try creating your map from scratch for
more challenge. The pages represent a piece of the larger map as you label land
and water, learn about rocks and soil, and draw animals and trees with helpful step-by-step
instructions. Connect all of your maps to see the big picture! Unique and
memorable learning for your students. ~Sara
