Description

56 unnumbered pages : color illustrations. Issued in an edition of 50 copies. "Unfolding Practice: Reflections on Learning and Teaching is a conversation between two artist-educators. Flowing across five chapters, the double sided accordion book has been curated from ten years of recorded conversations, field notes, planning, sketches, reflection, and teaching. The front of the book weaves text, illustration, cutouts, and screen prints, journeying through artistic process and educational practice. The back of the book is a guide, expanding on the practice of using accordion books as a tool for capturing, visualizing, and building upon reflective thinking. The brown paper alludes to the craft paper that is ubiquitous in schools and captures process more than the preciousness of a final product. Throw out accordion in hard covers."--Publisher's website, http://www.wsworkshop.org/artists-books/new-artists-books-from-wsw/, visited on July 29, 2016. "The book was hand and laser cut, and silkscreen and digitally printed on Construction Cement Green and Brown Kraft French paper. The type is Helvetica Neue 9 point."--colophon. RISD Libraries' copy is no. 31, signed by both artists.
