Creating Altered Books

Submitted by: Stephanie Corder, AZ Academy,
U.S. Virgin Islands
UNIT: Altered Books - Tip Ins
Lesson: Tip Ins - "Games People Play"
Grade Level: High school (adaptable to middle school)

 

Objectives and Standards:

With the intent of creating a new book from a recycled one, students will design a page spread within the theme of "Games People Play" to be photocopied for everyone to have one page from each classmate. The challenge will be to after each copy in a way that makes it unique from the others. To complete this project, students will permanently attach the pages they receive from the other students into their books, also known as "tipping in". Standards: 1. HS. B&C, 2.HS.A&B, 3.HS.B, 5.HS.B,D,E, 6.HS.C

 

Materials:

Recycled books with the pages cut out 8'/2" x11" (21.5 x 28 cm) Drawing Paper.
Mixed media - Colored Pencils., Colored Markers., Watercolor Paint., Acrylic Paint - collage materials, etc, YES Glue., Glue Sticks. (or other wrinkle resistant glue - regular rubber cement is not recommended)

Procedures:

1. Students plan a design around the theme of "games people play" incorporating at least three different techniques such as collage, paint, pencil etc. into their design as well as a piece from an actual game into their composition.

HW: Four thumbnails (small sketches with ideas for your design)

2. Once design is completed students will obtain 13 photocopies to attach to "good quality" paper and then plan how to make each page individualized. For example, could hand color an element in each page, add a collage, etc.

3. Once pages are complete, students will do a page exchange, with everyone receiving one page from each classmate to glue into their books.

 

Tip In procedure

Remove pages except for ½ inch tab. The pages are glued in between two tabs. It is advisable to place wax paper between the pages until the glue is dry. PVA (or regular Elmer's Glue.) works well to glue the pages in. Brush the line of glue very thin.
