Creative Watercolor III in Mandarin – Week 1 | QUEENS MUSEUM ▪ New New Yorkers

In our first class of the Creative Watercolor III workshop, we introduce the “Artist’s book” as a medium of artistic expression. The format is unrestricted and the contents are limitless. The artist’s book usually breaks the bound of a traditional book format. An artist has a high degree of control and can implicate different notions of sequence, repetition, juxtaposition, and duration in their book. We will use watercolor paintings to create an artist’s book.

今天的課程先介紹了不同種類的“Artist’s book” 藝術家書。除了常見的“ Catalogue”- 目錄型作品集和 “Monograph” – 專著，很多藝術家以書的型態來創作。藝術家書大部分形式多變，內容自由，時常打破書本的既定樣貌。藝術書讓藝術家們可以表現和抒發內容呈現的方式與編排模式，利用作品多元的排列來詮釋創作宗旨以及觀念。這次的課程我們將運用水彩技巧來創造出一本藝術家書。學員可以用水彩畫，文字，詩，照片和各種復合型態來組成自己的藝術書。這堂課我帶了幾本書為樣本。以下可以書法你是書名和作者：

‘Blue Chicken’, by Deborah Freedman

‘Sara Berman’s Closet’, by Maria Kalman and Alex Kalman
