DIY ZINE

Tuesdays
4:00 to 5:30 PM
April 12 - May 31

This class is still enrolling students!

We will be creating a collaborative zine, a DIY magazine using low accessible tech. Explore a literary and philosophical theory called The Chronotope, which is basically time (chrono) and space (topos). We will be exploring time and space and how it relates to our artistic work. A chronotope can be seen as a set of rules within the small creative worlds we create. So a poem can have a chronotope, a collage can have a separate chronotope. It comes down to creating context for our work within the world we create for our art. We will be creating rad things with collage, photography, digital editing, block out poetry, automatic writing, text and drawing games, ink painting and more!
