Here is my book and lesson plan, new and improved, enjoy!!
Values, Morals and Beliefs - The Elements and Principles Book Take Two
To make an accordion fold book:
Materials:
- Colored construction paper
- Covers 6 1/4 x 4 5/8"
- Strips to make pages, at least 2 per book, more if you want to make a longer book. The strips should measure 6 x 18".
Fold long strips in half; fold each half to the middle, making a 'W' shape. Glue one page at the end of the strip to another. Press accordion folded pages into a stack. Center covers on top and bottom and glue on. Paste endpapers into book. Endpapers cover the inside page where the regular pages are glued to the cover.
Values, Morals and Beliefs
Start by making a list of your values; name at least 15 things that you value. Put a star next to the three things that you value most. What makes these things so important to you?
Think about morals that you have for yourself and perhaps how they relate to your values. Also think about your personal beliefs. What do you believe in?
Once you've done some exploring and figured out what your values are, you will work in your accordion book using a combination of words and images to illustrate your values, morals and beliefs. You may use any available materials to complete this task. You are encouraged to find quotes as well as words that inspire you and use them in your book. Your book is to not only to explore your values, but also to include Olivia Guide’s post modern principles of art. While working on your book, think about the elements and principles of design. Try to work on your composition as a whole to create unity. Pay close attention to the colors and shapes that you use and how they correlate with the words you chose.
After you've completed your book, write a few words of wisdom and tuck them inside the small envelope. This envelope should be part of your book in some way, shape or form. You may choose to seal your words of wisdom in the envelope or leave it open for the viewer to read.
