teaching zines

today we started another six week block of afternoon art classes. i have only one or two students. so we can concentrate. today i worked with a very together young man. 
he only draws 'shrooms. 
so i introduced to him the origami book, making a simple book from a single sheet of paper. the cool thing about this? copy machines and 8.5 x 11 inch paper. 
and because aimee makes comics i like, i included a figure. my student got to work.
he went home with a handful of editioned zines, i demanded one (and got it!)
my dummy
his story. he placed a colophon on the last page. another zine maker!

  6. Very cool Velma - great to see his imagination connect with the zine form and the creation of a 'book-let', of which he can be proud.
