ARTS 228 Book Arts: The Handprinted Book
Students will advance their knowledge of letterpress printing by planning, designing, and producing a handprinted artist book. Elements covered: narrative sequencing, page layout and design, type as graphic innovative image-making, methods for the Vandercook, and structure of the book. (I'm not actually quite sure how this list was intended to be broken up...) Theoretical readings and research conducted in Special Collections will support the students' projects and focus on 20th and 21st century artist book design and production.
