Book Making

This course focuses on the making of an artists' book and the ongoing possibilities within this form. Working with the Fine Arts Library and Straus Center for Conservation, students are introduced to diverse artist's book-making techniques and conceptual approaches. The course covers digital imaging techniques including Photoshop and InDesign, digital printing and scanning, and physical bookmaking, while focusing closely on students' projects with regular work-in-progress presentations and crit presentations. Students work individually and in groups to develop skills in media literacy and communication.
