I was interested in the beautiful map of Japan that she shared HERE.
This project is easily accomplished by downloading her map and instructions. My sons used crayons to show the topography of Japan and then used a watercolor wash to finish off the map.
Crayon resist in high school! Gotta love that.
I highly recommend that you pop over to Ellen McHenry's website and see if you can find some projects that might fit your learning this year.

What a great technique! We will have to give it a try. We do tend to think of crayons as an elementary school art supply,even my 9 year old prefers colored pencils.
I love her site! I actually bought her chemistry curriculum to do with my daughter this semester, but am not sure if we'll get to it now. But, she has lots of great freebies, too! And, the Japan map looks great!
I really like the wash effect!
... and the "JAPAN" looks a bit Oriental. =)
Thank you for recommending that site! It's wonderful!
I STILL love crayons. I love most any medium for colorful expression.
And Ellen McHenry's site IS wonderful!
What a great map project. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for sharing this Barb. What a great way to make geography fun!
I love it!! Thanks for the idea and link! Be Blessed, Angie in GA
Those maps are beautiful! I'm going to have to go have a look at her site. Thanks for the tip.
