Day 2 Artist Book

You will make an artist book using a cut and fold method, and delve into lettering with an abstract leaning using word/s which will become the backbone of your book. There will be an opportunity to use modern pointed pen styles for your text, along with drawings/symbols and collage that relate to the theme of your book. We will consider how the text, images and colour should ideally all relate to each other in our overall book design. You might like to prepare by choosing a word or two you would like to use for the theme of your book, some text that relates to these words, and any colours and images/symbols that you think would suit.
