This week during class

In the last week I have come a long way with my ideas on how the books will come together for the final project. My plan as of now is to have between three and five books that work with the work the girls have been creating the past couple of months.

Book #1 tunnel book
my first idea is to create a book for Kamari that shows the stories that she tells in her pictures using a tunnel book to turn her 2-d pieces into 3-d books.

I can't find any of the tunnel books that I have created before but I thought I would use this one I found online to explain my idea

Another book that I have been thinking about creating is for April. She already loves working in 3-d and would really like to create a book that will hold/showcase her work. It would be more of a box then a book in itself but will tie together so that when you open it, it will apear as they are unwrapping a present. 

I am also thinking about creating a book for Denee, which will show off all of her detailed drawing work. I am not sure what this book is called but it is made with bookboard in ways so that you can open it in differnt ways to change the order of drawings. Their is an example up at the WSG gallery on main street, but I couldn't get a picture of it. The artist was named Alvey, who I believe works at Hollanders. My plan is to ask him what this book is called next Monday and see if he can show me a bit on how he created this book. It reminded me quiet a bit of a Jacobs latter from when I was a kid.


My plan for the rest of this week is to meet up with the girls in Detroit this Friday, and then continue working on the books in my free time and at Hollanders this Monday. I hope to have atleast one book done by next Friday.
