Mosaic Mapping

 

A group mosaic mapping exercise for the AD6605 module. Penne pasta marking main roads, blue plastic for water and moss for green spaces. Buildings are represented by rice, macaroni and cardboard. This was an enjoyable exercise that helped me gain an understanding of the wider area around Alney Island.

Hemlock, Horse chestnut and nettle were all in full swing creating a bold green wall.
