Course Description:
The book form can integrate a wide range of media and materials, bringing together image and text, structure and sequence in one moveable, touchable object. Through a series of projects incorporating each artist's interests and chosen media we will work inventively with a variety of traditional and experimental book forms. We will refine our skills as we investigate topics such as: the uses of words and images, conceptual layering, the importance of memory, the connections between form and content, and the influence of time and change.

Section Description:
From single printed, folded sheets to hardcover casebound books and presentation boxes, Bookworks 1 covers handskills, techniques, and content development through a series of assignments and individual projects, resulting in a comprehensive body of bookwork. Introduction to letterpress printing from handset type, multiples and editioning, writing, and a look at historical and contemporary book art are also included. Open to beginning and advanced students from any discipline
