Matthew Cusick

If this artist doesn't get your lesson plan gears turning, I don't know what will!  Matthew Cusick creates these beautiful artworks made entirely out of collaged maps.  This would be a great way to teach students about color, value and plane changes.  The idea of using maps or found materials also gives them the opportunity to tell a story and add a new layer of meaning to their work.  I can't wait to try it out with my kids!
