As part of Basic Design III: Three-dimensional Design, instructor Renee Couture has her students choose a book and alter it. They had
to choose one particular alteration method (tear, cut, etc). Then they had to
redesign the book and base the sculpture on the book's topic. Many found their book of choice at the library book sale.

Lillian Garcia created "Heresy" and needed a stack of books to create an ominous pit and lots more:
Nolen Heisler's Last of the Giants rises up:
And here is "Phobetor" by Leeah Whittier, taking wing from a book about endangered species.
Feeling inspired? More raw materials are available at the library booksale. You'll have to supply the imagination and talent.
