From the teacher: "BOOKS!!!! Are they just for reading? Well, let's find out at Art Camp. Artists have explored the use of book forms to record thoughts and ideas. However artists have also transformed books into works of art that make you turn a page. Come learn about simple book binding and sculptural book forms."
