Altered Books up to now:

4/11/2019

To keep us on track with our altered books, I'd thought I'd create a summery of what we have begun thus-far for our altered book pages! (remember, each 2-page spread can/should include visual journaling techniques AND be focused around a theme that you are developing for your book.

spread #1: Collage Papers & visual journaling techniques

We started off the semester by collaging different materials and textured papers and then drawing or painting on top in the style of your theme.

Spread #2: Include a Quote & visual journaling techniques

For this 2 page spread, you need to include a quote, stick with your theme and add some mixed media layers with visual journaling techniques.

Spread #3: famous painting/ artwork & Visual Journaling techniques

For this 2 page spread, you need to include your take on a famous artist painting or masterwork. Try to ensure that it goes with your theme of your overall book.

Spread #4: Pocket & Visual Journaling techniques

For this 2-page spread, you will continue to stick with your theme, but include some sort of pocket (and something to put inside the pocket!). Also, include visual journaling techniques.

Spread #5: add a boarder & visual journal layering techniques
OR use a photo transfer method within the altered book

Using a boarder:

Photo Transfer Method

Create a two page spread that goes with your overall theme, but this time, include a photo transfer that matches the overall theme of the book. Also include some layering visual journaling techniques.
