Course Overview: A book is a perfect object: portable, compact, full of paper, sequential, dimensional, with pre-printed content to work with (or not). In this online course, books become creative playgrounds as we explore a range of approaches, effects, and techniques for altering and transforming them. Your instructor, Kim-Lee Kho, will demonstrate techniques and media, introduce design concepts and art-thinking that will propel you in your process. For inspiration, you'll view slides featuring examples from contemporary artists, as well as Kho's own samples, to spark ideas and encourage experimentation. By the end of the course, you’ll have created a unique, personal altered book—an artwork to display, explore, and share.

Skill Level: Some art-making experience is helpful, but this can be your very first altered book or your tenth.
