Artists' Books

Artists' Books is a Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies course taught by Meredith Broberg.

HACU-0201-1 and HACU-0204-1 satisfy Division I requirements.

Course Description
Artists' Books engage both the mind and the senses; ideally the form and content of the book collaborate in creating meaning for the viewer. This course is a chance to develop the technical skills, conceptual clarity and creative flair that enable you to turn ideas into books. You?ll learn a variety of traditional and contemporary book structures, and experiment with different ways of integrating text, imagery and form. Using both traditional and improvised materials, we?ll start with page design and simple printmaking, learn increasingly complex bindings and end with an independent project. The core of the course is hands-on learning, supplemented by field trips and readings. This course satisfies the Division I distribution requirement. Lab Fee $65.
