Did a map of where I walked in one day!.! I'm nowdoing a flip book of that path, I'm painting it to miX up my media a bit but it is a slow progress!.! I also want to print out large prints of some photos I took from the top of riverpoint offices and joining them up!.!

Okay, well I have one map, My Personal Map of Limerick finished so now I am going to make different types of maps. I was told to keep going with personal maps and I think I will. My next map I might do on a different structure. I'm thinking of doing a specialised map of where my favourite shops and stuff are in Limerick on a shopping bag, so I'm going to have to go around Limerick a bit more! Then I might do a map of my favourite places to eat etc are on maybe a paper cup or something!

My Urban Environment
Hi, I'm a first year art and design student in LSAD. We were given a project on The Urban Environment so I started to work on it!
My first thoughts were to research where the city came from so I looked up what was in and around Limerick 100's of years ago such as King John's castle and drew them. Following that I started to focus on transport and how that developed as the city did, but it was a bit too much like a schoolgirl's history project.
I'm now focusing on the idea of maps. I've gotten old and new maps of Limerick and am planning on sometime layering them to show the growth but for now I'm making MY map of Limerick. As I don't know Limerick I'm making a map of my two major routes both on foot and in car, from Grove Island to Clare Street and Georges Quay and the bus stop that brings me home! In the map I'll show what I see of Limerick and my favourite parts!
So Tada!
