Artist Jill K. Berry has done it again! Her brand new book Map Art Lab is pure delight!
And this time she’s teamed up with her sister to write the book – Linda McNeilly is not only Jill’s sister,
but also has 25 years experience teaching in public schools and has an MFA in writing!

Map Art Lab is divided into seven wonderful units:
· Map Basics
· Map Magic
· Flat Maps
· Mixed-Media Maps
· Personal Maps
· Cartographic Projects and
· Inspired by Artists
These units contains 52 two-dimensional and three-dimensional activities.
Pick your favorites and dive right in or do one activity a week for a year-long of map fun!
My favorite unit is Map Magic in which Jill shares techniques for creating map elements from ordinary, everyday materials. Can’t wait to string up longs and lats!
There are oodles of great images of map art by both students and contemporary, professional artists – along with ways to make map art inspired by famous artists of the past like Alexander Calder and Joan Miro.
Jill’s brilliant map art is featured throughout the book, too. I especially love the maps Jill draws on her grandmother’s favorite pair of gloves of her grandmother’s two favorite trips. It is exquisite!
Plus there are lots of fun and inspiring quotes about maps along with map history tidbits sprinkled throughout this book! Below are some of my favorite images:
