Artist Book #1 thoughts and recollections
Initially, I did not have a premise or background on where I should start with this book. The idea of creating a book themed on the roll of art in my life and how it is an outlet for many people to express their inner most feelings that may be positive or negative came to mind. Since art for many people varies, I used the idea of producing a book with a montage of differing mediums, from collage to stencils to using paint itself, the overall ideology of the book comes from adding all of these different elements to combine as one cohesive whole. I used the thought of torn pages from a various amount of magazines as "paint" to disguise the front. I especially liked the picture of someone's mouth on the cover shouting as if to say this is my way to reveal suppressed feelings of art and how it can be seen by means of artistic expression. The contents of the book, in page by page form, reveals the different ways that art can be indeed for the heart, in a form of therapy, passion or just an overall past time for anyone to cherish.
