2. explain and demonstrate how their own ideas can be examined and explored within the layered structure of the book and how they can unfold over the time and space of the book.
3. examine and question current definitions of ‘the book’ and ‘the artist’s book’ and develop their own interpretations of the future of the book in contemporary art and culture.
4. employ and refine technical skills in book arts including bookbinding, basic page design, image-making techniques, and various text and image relationships.
5. demonstrate awareness of one’s own beliefs, concepts, and biases in assignment interpretation, project fabrication, written assignments, class discussion, and critique.
