ILLUS 5259<br />
The Magic <strong>of</strong> Books<br />
Judy Sue Goodwin-Sturges<br />
How <strong>of</strong>ten do we stop to appreciate a beautiful book jacket or a well-designed book?<br />
What are the elements that go into their making? How do images and text relate to one<br />
another and produce an object that is somehow greater than the sum <strong>of</strong> their parts?<br />
This course examines books <strong>of</strong> all kinds for readers <strong>of</strong> all ages. We will study a wide variety<br />
<strong>of</strong> genres. from which selections will be discussed in class. Students will experiment to<br />
find the best imagery and style to complement the text. Composition, design, media,<br />
and color will all come into play. During each class session, we will discuss students’ prior<br />
week’s work. In the second half <strong>of</strong> the semester, students will use what they have learned<br />
to create a final project: a book that epitomizes the interaction <strong>of</strong> words and images.<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> this course, students should have gained a heightened awareness <strong>of</strong> books<br />
and bookmaking, <strong>of</strong> the relationship <strong>of</strong> images to text, and <strong>of</strong> picture-making in general.<br />
