Altered Book, Translation #1I really loved this project. I found that altering a book was, in many ways more fun than creating a sketchbook. I have my beginning Studio Art students create an "art book" every semester as a final project, but we usually end up with some rushed and unimaginative magazine collages and computer collages of favorite rappers and/or movie stars. The process of altering a book completely with all original art would be so much more beneficial for my students. Now that I have done it myself and seen the work of my classmates I have a better idea of how to teach the assignment. I am sure I will get better results from my students if I can explain the concept better and show examples. I think the sketchbook examples I have from the UF library can translate into ways to alter an existing book as well.
