What makes a book a “book”? For this English project, we
are studying a book as a sculptural object, an artwork that can be a vehicle
for a compelling story and can be
aesthetically pleasing in its visual form. Over the weekend, students were
invited to consider various experimental visual techniques used by writers to
carry forward a message or change the way we look at language. In short, this
was an opportunity to “reinvent” a found book…to make it new! Here are a few
examples:
