Course Content
Illustration is not only a matter of drawing: an illustrated book is a dynamic object made of paper, ink and creative storytelling. Leaving computers apart, we get our hands dirty within a process where creative thinking is tightly related with the image-making crafts. The course starts with a series of exercises encouraging the participants to investigate on the main aspects of paper manipulation (e. g. bookbinding, pop-up…) and become familiar with a wide range of printing tools and techniques such as letterpress, carving and stencilling. Visits to exhibitions and talks by selected professionals will give an insight into book-art and inform students’ practice. In the second part of the workshop, every student will work on a personal project supported by the tutor.
Objectives
