CARTOGRAPHIC ANIMATIONS




Cartographic Animation Map of Hurricane Andrew 1992


Defined as a graphic art that occurs in time, animation is a dynamic visual statement that evolves through change in the display.  Because movement is part of the environment, its depiction was likely a part of illustrations of pre-historic humans. The drawings on cave walls from between 10,000-20,000 years ago have received much attention. Drawn with charcoal, these pictures of animals and other objects have survived because of the protected environment in which they were made.

This map is clearly visually showing the movement of Hurricane Andrew.
