A little fun and creativity
This month, it is all about ART
Last week we launched our month focused on Art. Last month
you saw some fun blackout poetry projects created by our students and local
elementary students. This month, we are taking it to a new level and
shining some light on the recent phenomenon known as book art.
What is
it? Oh, the possibilities are endless. Below are a couple of
examples of some of the incredible things people creating with books.
Want to see more? Check out our Pinterest
page. Or just Google book dresses (yes this is really a big deal),
book carving, book sculptures…the list goes on.
In honor of this month and our commitment to the absolute
freedom of creativity and expression on campus, we are holding an Book Art
event. All month long, you can create book art and submit it to the
Library. At the end of the month, we will have a Gallery Night.
This is open to students as well as all members of the community. Now, before
you skip past and think, I don’t know how to make any of this, read on.
Don’t worry if some of this seems too intense. These are
professionals, but we know that you all have something you can contribute…
To help you out, the Library will be holding art creating workshops during the
month where you can come for inspiration, to work on projects, for help with
your projects, to get supplies, etc. Students taking some of the art courses here will
have an opportunity to work in class on these projects but for the rest of you,
the Library is the place to be.
Workshops will be held:
Tuesday, May 6th from 6 p.m.
– 8 p.m.
Sunday, May 18th from 1 p.m. – 9 p.m.
All submissions are due the 1st of June. Then, to show off what you've made, the Library will be hosting a Gallery Night where you can come in the evening and view the creations and submissions from the entire local community. We will have refreshments, music, and some wonderful pieces to view. So put that night on your calendar even if you don't make something.
We look forward to seeing what you create!!
The Gallery Night is scheduled for June 6th at
6:30 p.m.
