This is a map. It's a gorgeous map ten 7/8th graders (Noah's class) drew & shaded by hand for the school's auction that took place a few months ago. It brought in a nice sum for the school. It's a stunning piece. I just had the opportunity to create some over-sized postcards for the students to have as "memorabilia." I thought I'd share. Amazing, huh? (You can click on it and enjoy a slightly larger view.) Noah is known for his small, neat handwriting. Amongst other things, he wrote the "Key."

That map is AWESOME!! Not only beautifully coloured, but I love the little pictures associated with the countries. I bet the new owner is VERY happy with their purchase.
Looks like a great way to teach a bit of Geography too (which is something severely lacking in NZ schools).
Well done to Noah, he has beautiful writing.
Looks fantastic!
Waving from that place on the map called Australia :]
Great Map!
I actually had the honor of "overseeing" a bit of their work. The initial rough outline was created with a projector. The lines were rather fuzzy & New Zealand had been traced as one big island. I did "rescue" that one! :-)
There was quite a bit of bidding happening at the auction. I'd say the original map is about 30" by 45". I forgot the EXACT amount, but it sold for roughly $600!
Waving back at ya, Kimmie! Do you see me? Ha. :-)
Wow, that is a beautiful piece of work, I's love it on my wall too!
I loved that map.
