UNIT V1: Modular Units and Repetition
OBJECTIVE: Introduction of the concepts of “repetition,” “modularity,” and “part to whole” relationships. Application of modular principles to the construction of three-dimensional form.
PROJECT: We fly on leaves of frost - Book Art
PROCESS:
- Given a used book, fold each page to create a pattern. Experiment with different folds and different patterns.
- Create an artist’s book using mixed materials. Books should have at least 10 pages if hand bound and 20 pages if using a found book. All pages should relate to each other somehow and be considered parts of a whole. These books should be precious objects, treasures. Consider:
- Modifying a book that is important to you
- Binding your own book
- Size / Weight / Texture
- Use of Text
- Ramifications of Material choices
- Message
