ARTIST BOOKS

Artists' books are works of art that utilize the form of the book. They are often published in small editions, though they are sometimes produced as one-of-a-kind objects. Artists' books have employed a wide range of forms, including scrolls, fold-outs, concertinas or loose items contained in a box.

Assignment: Your job is to create a one of a kind artist book that showcases images which

• follow a theme
• combines mixed media
• includes text (at least a title and artist statement) but can add poems, writing, lyrics, etc. 
• shows at least 8 images

When deciding on your format, try to stick to a layout that can allow you to print photographs on the laser printer/brochure paper or small (8x10 or less) photo sizes.
