Artist Book Construction

Catalog description

In this course, students will engage in book making, book altering, and book deconstruction as a creative endeavor, examining how visual language and written language differ and interact, and will consider the book as a metaphor for any technology that preserves and transmits information. The course will examine our changing relationship with books in the 21st Century by introducing you to the methods and thought processes of working artists as well as social, natural, and/or political issues common to practicing contemporary artists. This course is designed to be open and accessible to all students.
