Step by step: how to create your own blank journal:
In our recent program at the Granada Hills Branch Library of the LAPL, participants created accordion fold (also known as “concertina”…continuing with the musical instrument metaphor-) books.
In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, they added images of Latinx art and architecture, including murals, street art, works shown in museums, and storefronts.
Participants spanned young children to seniors, with everyone becoming immediately absorbed in creating their books, and developing them with varied fascinating and colorful images of works created by an integral population of Los Angeles past, present and future.
The Virgin of Guadalupe was an inspiration.
Mother and son work together.
Participants transformed images by adding to and subtracting from them, and putting them together in new ways.
The focus of all ages…
Makers often choose to work with colors that reflect the colors they are wearing!
Pink, never gets old.
This workshop was part of my Artist in Residency project: “We Write the Book“, supported by the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Los Angeles. Gratitudes!
