Information and Rubric for Final Artist Book Project


Final Artist Book Project
Visual Arts, Ms. Krannichfeld, 2010-2011
What you will do:
Individually or in pairs, you are to create a handmade book based around one artist.   There will be suggestions of different artists posted in the room for you to consider.  You may also pick your own artist if there is someone that interests you (just okay it with me first).  You will work on this project both during class and outside of class throughout the quarter.  DO NOT COUNT ON BEING ABLE TO FINISH THIS PROJECT WITH THE TIME GIVEN IN CLASS ONLY!  There will also be periodic progress checks on your books.  You will be warned ahead of time when these progress checks will be and what I will be checking.  It will be presented and turned in the last week of the quarter. Anytime you finish class work early would be a great time to get busy on this final project.


Final Artist Book Project  
Guidelines to follow: 
Your book must
  • be a handmade book.
Ideas: accordion-style book, Japanese stab-binding book, book made out of cardboard, pop-ups…
(research handmade book making technique as to how you want your book to look)
  • have decorated front and back covers relating to the artist chosen. 
·         have information about your artist’s life and work.
·         include an original artwork made by you inspired by one of the artist’s famous artworks. (If you are working with a partner, each partner must create an original artwork in the book)
·         have a reference page at the end listing any sources you used (2 minimum sources).
·         Lastly, your book must be creative! A simple turn-the-page book will not cut it! Think fold-outs, pockets, secret compartments in the book, peek-a-boo windows…the possibilities are endless! 
Due June 6th

What's Up for Week 3 in Visual Arts

Students are learning about the movement of Op Art and working on their Op Art Cubes which are coming along great! 

Students have also started researching for their Final Artist Book Project that will be due
JUNE 6th.  Look for the information and rubric above this post.  This is a large end-of-the-course project worth 200 points. 

The performing arts department is putting on a play on May 10th and visual art students are helping out by creating posters to advertise the play.  This ties in nicely with our lesson on graphic design next week.
