A maize maze? How droll. Sadly, I've never seen one, but it seems like it would be cornsilk hell.

I went to a corn maze on sunday. it was called the MAiZE .

Wow! I just a report on mazes on Blue Peter, and was tempted to ask this very question.

I like the one at Hampton Court. I went there with my junior school, they had to let us out of the entrance, because we got lost.

My silly little British cousin told me the secret to the Hampton Court maze before I got through, so I didn't get lost. It was lovely though. I'm going to have an incredible flowery green maze leading stumbling starving young princes to my cozy cottage someday.

Yeah! Hampton Court! That maze was actually quite easy, if I remember.

one year passes...

I got lost in the maze at Blackgang Chine on the Isle of Wight when I was on a school trip at the age of eleven. It was very embarrassing. All the other kids had found their way to the centre and then found their way out again and were prolly about to get on the bus and leave when it was discovered that I was missing. Someone had to be sent in to find me.

Taking a bunch of school kids to a maze doesn't seem like the best idea. Unless it's 20 years from now and they've all got tracking devices implanted under thier skin.

yes, you really have to question the motives of the teachers!

I like those mazes that have monsters living in them who eat people who get lost.

i like mazes which have a lift in the centre which takes the kids down to hell (except when it gets stuck obv)

There was a year or so when I would always draw a really elaborate maze every week during church for my friend to solve. I would spend all of sunday school and then 45 minutes of the service filling up the whole page with really tight corridors. Or put a lock in the middle of the maze which required a key that was buried like 5 minutes into an otherwise dead end section of the labyrinth. I like to think of that as my "lucky I didn't get my ass kicked year".

I recently unearthed these drawings of themed mazes that I gave to my dad when I was drawing them compulsively, at some point early in in elementary school- maybe third grade or so. I also gave many to friends, and kept them at home. I think my interest in mazes was sparked by a memorable preschool humiliation when I failed to understand the concept of a maze, and drew a line directly connecting the beginning and end.
It was fortuitous to find these when I did, since I was writing about the formlessness of children's art (even though a lot of other stuff I drew was cartoon characters, sports guys, and Star Wars stuff).

Aw. These are good, though. Not sure if I'd say they prop up a 'formlessness' thesis but I'd have to ask the dude what he means a bit more.

I am mazed!
