Week 10 - Artist Book

(Macy Chadwick)

It is now week 10 and that means only 5 classes left to complete your Artist Books!

During class time you should be concentrating on the digital images that will fill your book. Please try to work on the actual design and construction of your book at home. Of course always bring it along to class so I can see what you are up to.

Remember you are being assessed on the quality of the digital images, the digital images need to be your top priority.

Try and be imaginative as possible!

Keep an eye out for inspiration, here are some starting points:

Week 8 - Artist Book

Project Three: Artist Book

This project is designed to allow you to explore a combination of found and appropriated imagery and to further expand on the skills you have developed when making the digital collage. Your artist book will be made up of a series of at least 8 digital images that you will create and print in class.

Please research book making techniques, you can be as imaginative as you like when it comes to the construction of your book! However try to complete as much of the design and construction of your book at home, leave the class time to work on your digital images.
