Altered Book
Inspiration can be found from the book title. Does the dust jacket remove? Usually it’s canvas a good board for paint. Inspiration can be found on book titles and chapter headings. Discover meaning you can relate to and be inspired by circling one word on a page, or create Found Poetry. Illustrate a quote, song lyrics, or answer Journal prompts that inspires you.
Perhaps the pictures on a page can be collaged or painted on. Consider layering images by creating transparent stickers, using paint with your collage, journaling in your image, and embellishing.
Create a frame from a chunk of pages that highlight your inner artwork in the book, consider adding in images to the frame.
Get 3D. Create a frame, or tunnel. Insert images along the tunnel. Create sculptures out of books: items hang, pages are folded to create images, books are used together to form buildings...
