Today started perhaps, the favorite project of ART 8 students- deconstructed books/book art pieces. What 8th grader hasn't fantasized about destroying a book in school at some point. With this project, they can-in the name of art. Students have no rules, except to take an old recycled book and breathe new life into it through art. Some students are going deconstructivist and creating an abstract piece that looks nothing like a book, others are creating new worlds made of paper and book spines and still others plan to create textural and visual pieces with pages. Keep checking back to see our progress over the next couple weeks. After choosing their books and doing some iPad research on all the different book art out there, ART 8 students spent the day planning and prepping their books. Some students cut off covers, cut out pages, painted and some just played around on our "practice books" to see what methods they wanted to use.
