Students will learn 3-5 different techniques to create homemade books to fill however they would like. Whether they are interested in starting their own Zine and looking for a homemade format, or they want to create their own journal that they made from start to finish ... They will have 3 different variation of homemade books to start from by the end of this 90 minute workshop. Homemade books are perfect for self expression, as gifts or as projects to fill with friends! The possibilities are only limited by the size of the book you create!
Learning Goals
Students will see example of many different homemade books, including not only the design of the format for the book but also different ideas for filling the books and having the books be a form of art themselves.
They will see a Jacob's ladder book, an accordion book, a star/snake book, a 1 page book, a traditionally bound book among the examples shown.
They will learn how to create:
Star/snake book
1 Page book
A book bound with a pencil/chopstick
An accordion book
They will have these books to fill as they please or to be inspired to create their own new designs for homemade books!!Other Details
Supply List
paper (both white and colored) cardstock or thicker paper scissors glue stick (you can use regular glue, I find glue sticks work best for bookmaking ... but we use what we have!) Pencils, pen, colored pencils, oil pastels, markers, whatever you like to work with chopstick or pencil to bind a book rubber band Optional: Brown paper bag, like from a grocery store (If you are low on paper ... you can also use a brown paper bag to create a book!) Optional: Cardboard (it doesn't have to be super thick or super big, just big enough to be the size of the front of a journal - if we have time, we'll practice wrapping a cover for a book using the cardboard)
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
