CREATING A TOPOGRAPHIC MODEL OF ANGEL ISLAND

MATERIALS: clay, cutting board, sharp item (knife or piece of metal), 2 pieces of equal side wood, scissor, copy of Angel Island Contour

DIRECTIONS: Roll out clay with a rolling pin on a cutting board. Make sure you roll the clay an even height. Use a thin piece of wood on each side and roll the clay.

Cut out each of the different contour layers. This will act as a guide to cut out each contour on clay. Place the contour on top of the clay and cut the contour in the clay. After all the contours are cut, stack them like the original copy of all the contours of Angel Island.
