Applying Earth Science to make scientifically accurate maps is an essential part of the growing hobby of World Building. We will use scientific principles & Inkarnate (a free map drawing software) to recreate Pangea & other fantasy maps.
Class experience
Welcome to my 4 Day Summer Boot Camp "Earth Science of World Building" Here we spend 4 consecutive days revealing the secrets of how to build a scientifically accurate fantasy map. We will start by learning some basic Earth Science relevant to climate zones, ocean circuits and weather patterns. Then apply these to the supercontinent Pangea that existed around 220 million years ago, to recreate what its climate zones must have looked like. Then we can apply this knowledge to well known...
After the classes the student will have a good understanding of the Earth Science that is applicable to making scientifically accurate fantasy maps and learn how to make basic maps using Inkarnate.
I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geophysics (and a PhD in Philosophy) and have chosen the most interesting and exciting subjects to teach to get young minds fascinated by Earth Sciences.
Structured lecture classes, so participation optional, relieves anxiety Mixed media slides for different learning styles Engaging topics keeps attention Slides can be seen before class
None
Students can optionally make their own account with Inkarnate.com to build their own maps, but this is not essential and they can just watch me using it. Altenratively hey can just make drawings of their fantasy maps and we can work from those.
