Our Pathways project was to be a book based on a journey. My journey was about the day of an average student, the thoughts and feelings this student has through the average day faced with situations and such that the average student has to deal with. The book I was going to make was going to be a real hard back book, made with red fabric for the outside covers and grey board and sketchbook paper. The art work on the inside will be a mix of mediums such water colour paints, markers, acrylics, sketching pencils, etc.
The subject matter in the book will vary from pictures of people I have seen but never met, like the people I see daily on my bus, selfies with my class mates, people who influence your life, things you encounter like mountains of work, deadlines, lack or or excessive sleeping, and obviously the lack of money and full on partying that is associated with student life.
When I complete the book I will upload a almost tutorial on how I created the hard back book. Step by step pictures. I haven't entirely started the physical making of the book because i still need materials and such but that should be completed tomorrow, well at least the combining of the cover to the paper, maybe not all of the pictures on the paper. My problem is with that I don't want the paper to crinkle due to the use of paint but my only real alternative is to do the paintings in my sketchbook and take photos and print them and stick them into the book instead but I don't think that will be much better, I'd like it to contain all the originals.
I am sorry that right now I don't have any real pictures to show to go along with this post but I swear there will be a descriptive post about the making of the book within the next week.
