Art has long served as a mirror reflecting the complexities of both personal and cultural identity. In this class we will embark on a journey to unravel the intertwined threads of our histories and our hopes. Utilizing some short, guided writing exercises, blended with a collaged “self-portrait,” we will create the content for a couple of small artists’ books that nestle within a larger folded form. The resulting structure will be an exploration of the twists and turns of self-reflection—our past and our potential future stories.

 

Materials: Cutting knife; stylus (for scoring); sharp pencils and a good eraser (Pink Pearl is good); glue (UHU glue stick or PVA & brush or small roller); 12” ruler; scissors.

Optional but recommended: 12” centering ruler; bench hook with cutting mat (9” x 12” cutting-mat size is ideal); bone folder. Additional materials will be provided to create the books.
