Lesson 7 Symbols Show and Tell ILS25A: I can analyze and use symbols. (Transferable to 1B) Directions: Find symbols in the two maps. List the symbol by drawing it or describing it. Then tell what it represents—what it stands for. Symbol What It Represents What symbols would you use to show something important about Chicago? First, list what you would want people to understand. Then think of a symbol you would use to show that on a map of Chicago. What a Chicago Map Should Show Symbol I Would Use to Show It 114 • Lesson 7: How to Read Symbols
Lesson 7 Symbols, Maps, and Art: Read to Learn ILS1B: I can compare and contrast based on information in a text. Directions: Read this passage. Then answer the questions on another piece of paper. Mapmakers use symbols. A mapmaker uses lines to show things. Those lines may represent streets. They could stand for borders. A border divides two places. On a map of the United States you see lines that divide the states. Those are borders. Usually they are shown in black. Mapmakers use other colors as symbols. They use blue to show water. They also use pictures as symbols. The mapmaker may put a picture of an airplane. That would show an airport. They could put a train. That would show a train station. Many artists use symbols. A painter may put a dark cloud in a painting. That dark cloud stands for a problem. A painter may use color as a symbol. The painter may use yellow to show happiness. A painter may use gold to show a person is rich. The painter may put a rainbow in a painting. That rainbow is a symbol. It shows that the storm is over. There are some maps that are art. They show places. They are special maps. Artists make them. About 100 years ago an artist made a bedcover. It was made for people to use. It was special. It was not like most bedcovers. The artist sewed it as a big map. It showed the United States. The artist used black thread to show borders. The artist used brown thread to show routes. Routes are ways people travel between places. You have a route you take to school. The bedcover map showed routes people traveled across the United States. There is another cloth map called Map of the Middle West. Art that is on cloth is called textile. This textile shows some of the states. It uses blue to show water. It uses black to show borders. It uses pictures to show what is special about these states. It has a corn plant on Illinois. Illinois farms grow corn. That plant is a symbol. It shows that corn is important. It has other symbols. It shows many things. People learned from it. It shows what is important in the states included in this map. When you paint a picture, you can use symbols. You can use colors to show feelings. You can use symbols to show ideas. You could paint a dove. A dove is a bird. When people see a dove they think about peace. You could paint a rainbow. That would show happiness. You could paint a big sun. That could show happiness, too, or warmth. You could paint a map of the United States. You could use color to show climate. You could paint states with cold climates gray. You could paint warm states red. People could learn from your map. You could add more symbols. You could show many facts with pictures. It would be a map. And it would be art, too. Write a Comparison/Contrast Paragraph Answer these questions: How are maps and paintings alike? How are they different? Extended Response Based on what you read and what you knew, why do you think it is important to understand symbols? Give an example of why it is important in everyday life. Give an example of why it is important in art. Art Institute of Chicago • 115
