Institution:

Moore College of Art and Design

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to encourage students to explore ways to use words and pictures as a means of self-expression. Students will combine text and images and then incorporate them into a self-designed book. Driven by the meaning of personally written or selected words, students will be encouraged to draw their image making decisions from the content of the text and to design a book structure appropriate to the content. Students will explore different methods of simple bookbinding to further enhance the meaning of their message. Images can include photocopies of found objects, digital photos, collage materials, rubbings, or drawings. Type can be digitally generated, handwritten, rubber stamped, collaged or any other method that supports the meaning of the text. Attention will be paid to using the words and the images as expressive devices that are integrated into the composition of each page. Students are encouraged to utilize personal writing but can also interpret literary excerpts, poems or song lyrics
