Our beliefs, values, and perspective are all shaped by our experiences. Today in class we looked at Saul Steinberg's famous cover of The New Yorker magazine titled, "A View of the World from 9th Avenue". Steinbger's cover drew praise from New York City residents and who took pride in their "NY centric" view of the world. This cover has been referenced by other artists, and parodied in movie posters, cartoons, and illustrations since its publication.
Your homework tonight is to create your own version of "A View of the World". You can use choose to use the same format the Steinberg used, similar to this drawing called, "A View of the World Atlanta. "
Make sure your artwork includes the following:
1. A Title
2. Streets that are important to you
3. Cities that are important to you
4. Buildings/Businesses that are important to you
5. Geographic features that are important to you
6. Other countries that are important to you
