FA312/Studio/01 - Artist Books
|
Credits
3.00
This elective invites students to consider the book as art object—both materially and conceptually. Students will explore interactions between content and form: what specific material considerations support works that will be handled, circulated, and experienced over time? Moving through directed assignments to learn a variety of book structures, the course will involve drawing as well as basic printmaking techniques. Critical themes will include sequence, structure, text, and image. Students will be exposed to books by both established artists and amateur makers (through visits to on and off campus collections) encouraging dialogue with historical and contemporary practitioners of this tactile, haptic form. Course objectives: By the end of this course, students will be able to: - identify the different components of a book using industry-standard vocabulary - demonstrate a working knowledge of basic bookbinding techniques (involving both sewn and adhesive bindings) - pair content with form in the context of bookmaking (considering sequence, structure, text and image) - discuss both the history and contemporary field of artist books
