ALTERED BOOKS

Altered Book Art

Learn the basics of creating altered book art by cutting, collaging, drawing, painting, sewing and just letting your imagination run wild!

We will be working on what I call the “Mouse House” style of altered book which is a great beginning project. The cutting will be rough and allows for a more free form style – as though a mouse has chewed through it to create its home. Any little critter could ultimately live inside the 3-D world you create, the choice is yours. Using stencils for cut-outs adds to the overall composition by creating depth and shadows in a predominately black and white back ground (text and page). You can create your inhabitants (draw or paint) or use images from book scraps that are provided.

If you would like more of a challenge - precise clean cut, this is an option that can be worked on instead as the same basic tools are used – just need a steady hand and a bit more patience.

A book will be provided but you may bring your own if you have one that you are wanting to turn into art.

He became a successful graphic artist owning the business. At the age of 50 Tadashi gave up the Bohemian lifestyle and decided to pursue his real passion painting. He found himself in Denver and has since gained awe in the public eye. His paintings are spiritual, moving and introspective. Tadashi shows internationally in Los Angeles, New York and Japan. Tadashi‘s workshop will explore a sensitive and ethereal approach to charcoal, pencil combined with non-traditional mediums. Students will work with canvas. Participants will work from life.

Whimsical Monoprinting           

Monotype  

Printmaking's Brash & Sassy Younger Sister

Additional Materials fee: $10

Participants will explore the spontaneous, fast paced possibilities of monotype making. Intuition and personal imagery will be encouraged, and we'll dabble in stenciling and stamping the plate to create visual interest.

Working back into the “ghost,” the ink left on the plate after the first pull, will be an important part of the workshop. The rich middle tones and intuitive decisions sparked by what remains on the plate can make for some compelling imagery.
