Do you love playing with books and making them into art? Altering books is both a visual and tactile experience. In an altered book, the artist transforms a hardback book into a work of art, by physically altering the book. Students will learn how to create a unique piece of art by taking an old discarded book through a thoroughly enjoyable and artistically “messy” process of tearing, collaging, painting, gluing combined with unique random acts of folding, pleating, stitching, adding and removing elements. The end result is an individually personalized statement in the form of BOOK ART for journaling, displaying and/or gifting.
