DESCRIPTION
This intensive course introduces students to the tradition of the artist's book. Through in-class lectures and visits to artist book collections, museums, and libraries, students will learn about the evolution of the book from primarily a carrier of information to a full-fledged form of artistic expression. Concept development, the integration of materials, structure and media, as well as technical considerations, will all be discussed as students develop and create their own artist's book projects. While several image and text-making techniques, such as pochoir and letterpress printing, will be introduced, students will be encouraged to explore materials and techniques of their choosing in creating their bookworks.
SRISA studio courses will have personal and course materials to be purchased in Florence. Unless otherwise specified, there is no need to bring consumable supplies with you. On the first day of class, your professor will inform you of the materials needed and where to get them in Florence.
