VHS, Floppy Disk, CD, all these things have disappeared to allow for DVDs and USBs. With this turnover however we often find opportunity to use things in more creative ways. Camp Leo Campers got to experience this phenomenon yesterday when they created their own picture books: crafted from CD cases.
In contemporary arts, books and book binding are gaining interest, with gallery's and museums buying works. With all this interest it seemed that it was time for the Campers to find their own way into "modern art".
Each book uses the CD case lining, that area where one use to gleefully read every lyric to a favourite album, as the cover. The actual book pages were made in an "accordian fold" style, meaning that the pages fold out, the way an accordian would.
The Campers loved the idea of making a picture book, and they made story's on everything from mermaids to a fully illustrated history of the Pythagorean Theorem.
