Description

The focus of this course will be on the investigation into the process of bookmaking from simple zines to unique artist books. We will learn several different structures and produce books with and without text. Students will work individually and collectively to explore different ways of creating. Ideas of narrative, found language, concrete poetry and illustration will be addressed. During upper level studios 239, 339, 439 additional concepts and techniques will be added to the studio foundation and expectations. Accelerated weekend studio courses only serve 100 level studios.
