In this workshop students will explore how interactive elements can be used to hide, reveal, and transform images to aid a narrative. The class will investigate how these interactive elements can be utilized to create playful, emotionally resonant work that creates life in inanimate objects. Students will learn a variety of techniques for creating interactive elements for use in book making and will learn introductory screen printing techniques to aid in the creation of multiples. The class will be given playful prompts to help generate the content for each person’s project. Students will learn beginner paper engineering for making volvelles (paper structures with rotating circles), fold-out structures, and using cutouts to make their interactive elements. Together, the class will look through books with interactive elements for inspiration and explore the WSW artist book collection. Screen printing demonstrations on the basics of printing, how to plan a print, and working with photo emulsion will be given so that students may create multiples of their projects.
