, Ever since I learned the map of the United States in fourth grade, I have been fascinated by maps. I don't know why, but I just enjoy learning about them. So, in this blog, I will be exploring the world of cartography and discovering how maps are made. I want to do this because I enjoy both studying maps and drawing, so I think this will be a perfect fit for me. By doing this, I hope to learn about cartography and how I can create a map of my own. I want to go into great detail and know everything I can about maps.
For me, success will look like creating an accurate map that is identifiable. I'm not sure what exactly this map will be of, but I do know that I will work hard to make it the best that I can. In order to do this, I will need to do a sufficient amount of research concerning the topic of cartography. Researching will include listening to podcasts, reading different articles or books, and watching informational videos. I have found multiple podcasts that discuss different components of cartography. To do this, I have found a website called The Map Room that has several podcasts that I will be able to listen to. I will also take a course on map making through Skill Share in order to learn how to make a map of my own. Lastly, I will have the opportunity to get in touch with a real cartographer with whom I can discover more about map making from an actual cartographer. I hope that this will result in me creating a beautiful map along with obtaining new information about something I am interested in.
