2D Design- Transforming Book Project

How to complete this assignment- Start by choosing a two dimensional color artwork from the history of fine art, something I'll define as more likely to be found in a museum of art history textbook, and not in stores that sell collectibles. You will be transforming it in some way based on the idea of children's books. Examples and descriptions of four such possibilities can be found below. All have in common that they have a cover that opens and closes.

A) Folding Flap Book- In this type, when the cover is opened, the image appears like the original artist's work. A flap that runs the length (horizontal or vertical) of the image is down in one position. When the flap is folded back the other way part of the image is hidden, and another new part revealed, with the new part matching up to the parts of the painting visible when the flap is down on either side.

A) above- original position, below- second position (pink elephant and tiki statues)

B) Pull Tab Book- In this variety, when the cover is opened, the artist's original painting is shown. A tab extends out from the top, bottom, or side. When the tab is pulled, it changes one or more pieces of the painting by sliding out the original bit and sliding in a new one.

B) above-original position, below- second position (Mickey Mouse head)

C) Transparency Book- When the cover is opened, the original painting is shown. However, when a clear plastic sheet is lifted, some changes are revealed. These changes can be found anywhere in the composition.

C) above- original position, below- second position (skulls and skeletons)

D) Pop-up Book- The book starts flat, but can be opened to a 90 degree position, which pulls at least 3 levels of picture elements up in front of the backdrop, creating a 3D object

D) First Layer- skater and ice, Second Layer- background figures and tall tree, Third Layer- deep background trees, Inside Cover- sky.
