ARTISTS’ BOOKS: VOICES AND VISIONSAriel Hansen Strong6 sessions >> Saturdays, September 8–October 20th(no class October 6)10am–1pm, Studio 3 + Print Loft, $315 ($20 materials fee included)No prerequisite.
This course will examine the artist’s book as a vessel for creative voice and vision. We will focus on the development of each student’s intentional and distinct voice through creative writing exercises and experiments with content and structure. The class will investigate how the technology of the book can uniquely emphasize content through values such as sequence, pacing, intimacy, and multiplicity. This course will be largely studio oriented, will teach a variety of printmaking (relief, letterpress, etc.) and bookbinding techniques, and will maintain a balanced focus between form and content.
