Online course – ‘Book Art: Art with Books’ from the Academy of Cultural Education

Artistic upcycling of discarded books

Don’t throw them away! Because in this course, you will give discarded books a new meaning. Be inspired by the content, author, material, smell or typography and use the books to create artistic objects, sculptures, artist books, paper art, collages, stop-motion animations or photographs.

Using pictures and playful exercises, you will learn about different book upcycling and techniques. Finally, you will find your own idea for transforming a book into a new aesthetic form with the joy of experimentation and artistic flow. You can then use the tried and tested methods for your own educational work.
