ART 255 - Creative Bookmaking

Creating handmade books allows students an aesthetic experience by exploring the traditional instrument for story telling, communication, and record-keeping. Various adhesive and non-adhesive techniques for binding and assembling books will be explored while addressing issues related to papermaking, journaling, and the unique book as multi-dimensional sculpture. The emphasis is placed on the development of a personal vision, in which students may incorporate in their books a variety of their existing forms of expression, such as graphics, poetry, printmaking, painting, and photography.
