How to draw a compass rose

Here's how to draw a compass rose for your treasure map!

Road Trip Art Project

Ever since I was little, I've wanted my own VW bus to drive around the country.  I probably wouldn't paint it like this, but it would be colorful!

For this project, I walk the students through the basic outline.  With reference materials, students often make their drawings even more detailed and accurate.  I tell the students that this is their chance to design their van any way they want.  I wish I'd taken pictures to show you!  I encourage them to be as creative as possible.  At the end of class we share our pictures and maybe even talk about where we might travel.
