Description:
Thomas Freese shows different examples of accordion-fold books. Then he demonstrates the process and provides calligraphy tips for students.Suggested Uses:
- Use to demonstrate how to make an illustrated story for an accordion-fold book, practicing the art of calligraphy to write the text. (The “Making Art” section of the binder includes instructions for making accordion-fold books.)
- Use in conjunction with a discussion of the purposes of art (e.g., bookmaking, illustrating, etc.).
- Pair with an artist profile, such as artist and bookmaker Carolyn Whitesel’s segment (“Fine Books/Cut Paper” on Through Artists’ Eyes), to explore how an artist uses the skills demonstrated in this activity.
