Description
A combination of art, writing, and history based on Book Art*, this course includes an overview of the history of communication and teaches students how to create book structures which represent different time periods or cultures. While the forms are standard, students will fill them with their own words and images in order to express their personal ideas and styles.
Book Art is an ancient craft and a modern art. From earliest times to the present, people have sought to communicate messages, ideas, feelings, and personal iconography by drawing and writing on a surface. Beginning with the scroll, the book took many forms from individually created works to mass produced texts and unique artistic structures. Prerequisite: ENG101 or permission of instructor.
