About the event
Stitching the World: Geography and Art
A 90-Minute Tactile Art Session
Maps are more than directions. They are stories of where we’ve been and where we’re going. When students translate a map from a flat drawing into a textured, textile artwork, geography and history come to life. This session is perfect for social studies teachers and visual art teachers.
The Toolkit (Included):
A Slide Deck: Curated images of works of art that focus on maps through history.
Low-Sew/No-Sew Project Guide: A step-by-step framework adaptable for any student's ability level.
