Langva, Topographic Map





My map was of a section of the area around the Des Moines River. I used foam-core, yarn, mod podge, and marker. This project was difficult because when I first heard that our next assignment was a topo map I thought of stacking but it turned out that we couldn't do that so I had to think of a material that I could show elevation. After thinking about it I decided to use yarn because I had a lot and it worked with the idea that I had. I decided to hang it from the ceiling because looking up at the different lengths of yarn added a sense of curiosity to what was going on. When set on a table looking down at it, it's very obvious to what is going on and what the yarn is representing.
