The Art World (and Zines?)

The art world and zines aren’t exactly a match made in heaven… or are they? This fall I had some fun playing around with a handmade zine, using a contemporary artist as my inspiration. THIS IS A LITTLE BOOK OF DAMIEN DAVIS ART THAT I LIKE is a fun little homage to Davis’ sculpture and fiber arts work. I was hoping to show the children how to use the page spread as a single, larger page that ‘pows’ for the reader. What do you think?
