State Maps- ages 10-12

I replaced my car atlas (yes I still use paper maps) and thought we could do an art project with the old one. Each student picked a state/place and modge podged it on to a board. Then they had to decide what they liked about each place and create a painting using the map as a background.

I was planning to do a Treasure Map Project for a while and finally found the perfect paper. It is handmade, heavy, about 14x18 inches and the right color. So I gave the students some instructions... make a list of things in your fantasy place, do a thumbnail (we always do a thumbnail) design a north, south, west, east directional, border, land, water elements and "x marks the spot"... and I am really happy with their ideas and creativity. I wonder what is in the treasures?
