Shannon's Altered Book: Final Favorites

I loved some and hated some, but walking away helps with perspective and them it all comes together.

Shannon's Translation

This whole week has been crazy amazing!

Teaching Environment:

Pushing the boundaries of each piece of art is how this class will be translated. Making choices for each piece of art without fear and hesitation. Become confident in each mark, knowing there is always a way to fix it, creatively. Each of these project's will be turned into lesson's for my K-12 classes. I can't wait until next week to start planning, and thank's to this class I will already have amazing examples to show my students!

Shannon's Project Book

I took these photo's the week before while exploring campus. I was very happy to use them in this project and to actually make final pieces with them. The book will be a great example for my AP students to help them with their "theme". I can't wait to get back into the classroom and use this!

Shannon's Everything Book

These's were two "everything book" assignments that took a long time, but I really enjoyed them. You can also do the donut project with cookies, well really any food!

Shannon's Found Texture/Pattern

I LOVED finding these. I found these on my morning walk from the ODome parking to the Fine Art's building. I will be using this assignment in my class.

Shannon's Peer Response

Ashley's Altered Book: The second page caught my eye. I love the bright color. The lady on the right page makes me question what she is thinking. I can't tell if she is shocked or caught off guard. The book has a strong feminine sense.

Shannon's Altered Book: A Process

This is the beginning of my Altered Book. I have been taking pictures as each page progresses. Enjoying trying new ideas and processes.

Shannon Paper + Tape

I made 2 different designs:

1. One deconstructed in jar form. Six jars top and bottom are the covers, 2nd and 5th are the binding, and the 3rd and 4th are the pages.

2. Using the paper and making an interactive book using paper and tape as pages and binding.

Reflection:

This was a great project to begin a class, getting the creative juices going.
