Homework due March 26

Take some time to explore Philadelphia's development via the Geo History maps found here: http://www.philageohistory.org/tiles/viewer/

Look at your neighborhood, center city and Temple's campus throughout the years.

Take note of the different ways the maps were organized via drawing.

Make a drawing in response to something interesting that you discover. It could be a historical discovery, or something that intrigues you aesthetically about the maps themselves. Begin your research with several preliminary sketches/studies before moving on to the final drawing. 


Next Tuesday March 24

Meeting at Eastern State Penitentiary at 1:00! I will be purchasing group tickets, so please be on time!
