Tuesdays, 9:30 a.m. –12:30 p.m. January 14–February 11 (5 weeks, 15 total hour of instruction) AAC Print Room Looking at a life organically: Pick a time frame or a theme: a day-in-the-life, the places where you have lived, a special trip, or significant events over a lifetime. We will map the event(s), then utilize words, text-as-image, and actual images to represent those events as a vine that winds its way through the pages of an accordion book. This organic approach uncovers the threads that connect these phenomena, as well as your thoughts about them. For the cover page, we will make a low-tech, ink self-portrait. Then, using folded paper, we will create non-adhesive hardcovers to house the accordion pages. The resulting structure will be an exploration of the twists and turns of self-reflection on our past stories 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/recommended: 12” centering/beveled ruler, bench hook with cutting mat (9” x 12” cutting mat size is ideal), bone folder. Materials will be provided to create the book and the covers.
