week 5: one on one with instructor

Per my instructor's suggestion, I will be constructing a Tibetan/boxed book. These types of books do not have a binding. The reader will open the box to reveal loose leaf paper that they take out one at a time. Also, I will be scanning my collages into the computer so it doesn't look as crafty, because art teachers really dislike the crafty look. Boo.


These are pretty cool though.

week 4: revisions to book proposal/character drawings

Revisions:
Instead of using found images and patterns from the internet and completing this project entirely in a digital fashion, I would like to construct this picture book using patterned scrap booking paper from craft stores. It will feel more like a collage this way and have a more tactile quality. I will cut shapes out of the paper to form pond weeds, frogs, water, land, and whatever else goes along with the environment.The collages will be mounted on mat board to simulate the thickness of children's books.
