ARTS 069 - Problems in: Re-imagining the Book

Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 HU

This course will explore and expand upon the notion of the book as both an object and a text. Using narrative and non-narrative techniques in relation to concept, content, image, and form, students will design and construct a series of books. We will make frequent trips to view the artist’s book collection in the Clarence Ward Art Library in Oberlin. Materials and techniques such as basic use of tools, collage, design, learned and invented bindings, will be covered. This class will focus on inventive approaches to the book NOT traditional bookmaking or binding. Readings, sketchbook, discussion and critique are required forms of participation. Consent of instructor required. Enrollment Limit: 15.
