Altered Books
Instructor: Jean Stortz
Skill Level: All
Explore your life stories and transform them into an altered book! According to the International Society of Altered Book Arts (ISABA), an altered book is an “art form that used existing books that are transformed into works of art. The book becomes the canvas for the new ideas and images.” In this class, students will explore joining painting, drawing, sculpting, and printmaking with a variety of materials (postcards, photographs, newspaper articles, fabric swatches, and other memorabilia) when making their altered books. Together, these materials can be collaged, wired, sewn, or nailed to your altered book. Techniques introduced include collage, assemblage, image transfer, metal stamping, stamping with paint, and use of computer images. Students will create 2-3 altered books in this short session. Bring photos, memorabilia, and anything else you would like to incorporate. The instructor will also provide many materials.
Enrollment limited to 12; ages 16 and up

Art with a Voice
Instructor: Melodee Strong
Skill Level: All
Want to say something with your art? In this course we will discuss how art can communicate ideas and opinions in many ways. More of a conceptual course, we will begin by discussing ways artists in history have used art to communicate thoughts about politics, activism, community and global issues. These discussions will be used as influences to create artwork collaboratively or individually. Working with multimedia materials and using design concepts, students will create artwork considering public display.
Enrollment limited to 16; ages 16 and up
