Where Art Meets Literature?





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. 

The following pictures are from the student art show in the Art Gallery in the Whipple Fine Arts Gallery currently on display through next week until the artists' reception on June 7, 2012, at 5 p.m.

Walking counter-clockwise around the room, you'll first see Justin Dyer's "Dino" come alive:




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.
