Art Studio 280AB - Artists' Books

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of bookbinding, artists' books and zines. A variety of book structures and skills will be demonstrated, discussed and used throughout the semester. Throughout the course students will develop a basic understanding of what a book is, where it fits in contemporary art practice as well as its historical context. Students will use the technical bookbinding skills discussed to create a series of both one-of-kind artists' books as well as a small edition of zines.

Prereq: ARTST-120 or ARTST-131.
