Pathway: Typography and Maps

In this pathway, children are introduced to typography design, and they explore how they can create their own fonts and designs. Children explore how we can use visual letters and other elements to help convey ideas and emotions. They are introduced to the work of an artist and a designer who have both used lettering combined with maps to produce maps which tell stories. Children then go on to create their own visual and often three-dimensional maps.
