Explore how people have expressed themselves through art and self-publishing from medieval times through to today in this hands-on workshop. Students will explore artists’ books and independent publications and respond by creating their own zine to share their ideas to inspire discussion and debate.
This program is available Tuesday-Thursday during term time at 10.00am and 12.30pm. A maximum of two classes can be allocated to one booking time.
Students will:
- explore the history and culture of independent publishing
- examine the different writing and illustrative styles artists and writers use to express themselves
- participate in a guided tour of the Library’s unique heritage spaces, including the World of the Book exhibition
- discover book-making techniques and create their own publication that reflects an emerging sense of personal style.
This program links to the Victorian Curriculum and helps students to:
- compare and evaluate how ‘voice’ as a literary device can be used in a range of different types of texts to evoke particular responses (VCELT465)
- create texts that reflect an emerging sense of personal style and evaluate the effectiveness of these texts (VCELT476)
- analyse, interpret and evaluate a range of visual works from different cultures, historical and contemporary contexts (VCAVAR046).
