Movable Parts One (San Diego, CA)

Add movement to your artist’s books. We will begin by constructing a prototype for a “Slide-out Panorama/Pop-up Theater” structure. This form folds flat for storage (or mailing). For display, the sides slide out to create a theater/diorama format. We will talk about ideas for adding text and stand-up structures. As time allows, we will then create an accordion fold book with two forms of pop-ups: one cut from the existing page with a colored background and one using the existing page as the base with cut and folded forms added. This accordion will have one to several (depending on time) pop-up forms in it. Paper for all structures, templates and instructions with measurements will be provided.
