Info

• Unlike Bedcover Entitled “Map”, this textile provides specific details relating to each state in the Midwest. The artist uses a series of symbols that represent facts and observations about the people, climate and natural resources specific to the area. Here, we learn about the native plants and animals, industries, popular modes of transportation, architecture, communities, and fashion of the time and from the region. • Similar to Bedcover Entitled “Map”, the artist has used color to identify specific elements of the map: state borders and names appear in black and rivers and lakes are in blue. This use of color is an example of the universal language of maps. • The inclusion of resources and its focus on the Midwest region also classify Hanging Entitled “Map of the Middle West” as a thematic and resource map because it reflects common themes or ideas associated with the region and highlights its specific resources.
