You might think of maps as diagrams of physical places, but the irrepressibly creative e bond will show you how to re-imagine a map as a visual journey through your artistic and emotional places. In this 31-day class, you’ll use maps and mapping, their functions and characteristics, as a process tool for generating abstract compositions with mark-making, collage, doodling, and other visual experiments. Map-making will be your conceptual point of departure as you fill up your sketchbook with paint, photographs, leaves, ephemera, and pieces of actual maps to create vibrant, mixed-media spreads.

Fantastic ideas and fabulous execution. Drawing on leaves was wonderful. I really like the use of craft paper and white correction pens. I'm inspired by that! Good use of concept maps - I've used these in teaching since the 90s.

e bond's boundless creativity and relaxed way of teaching and demonstrating was inspiring and encouraging. I got a lot of creative ideas and started to see the many ways one can map all kinds of things, both tangible and intangble - and as Paul Klee said, making visible. I'm sure I will watch this again.
