For this project, students will create an accordion book with pockets that will hold both images and artifacts gathered either from Florence, Fiesole, Cinqueterre or Pietrasanta. The booklet should have an overall theme or concept, and should not be a serious of pages documenting an overall experience- Remember, this is intended to be an art piece, not a scrapbook.
Students will learn to create the books during class time. Since this is an accordion book, it can be displayed so that all pages can be seen at once, therefore consider the impact and meaning of all images displayed together.
Each page should have at least one printed image and one related found object.
Basic materials will be provided, but students will need to purchase a piece of paper that is at least 30 inches in length. This shouldn’t cost more than 1-3 Euros. The cover of the book should be either a found object (it must be heavier paper than the paper that you are using for your pages), a vintage postcard, vintage photos, playing card, etc. But, it should be related to the theme of your book.
The book can be experimental, conceptual, poetic, graphic, or narrative. Examples will be given in class to help generate ideas.
Books Due: June 19
