For the final project I was inspired by artist Colette Fu and her pop-up books. Colette has many skills up her sleeve including photography and college. She received her MFA in Fine Arts from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2003. She began dissecting pop-up books soon after graduation and since then it has been her go-to medium. She has created award winning stop motion animation commercials featuring her books, as well as freelance work for Vogue China, Canon Asia, and Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton. She currently teaches pop-up book courses and community workshops at various art centers, universities, and institutions nationally.
Pop-up books have been around for thousands of years. It is thought that first ever pop-up book was created in 1306. This book contained information about astrology. Throughout centuries pop-up books have been used to teach anatomy and astrology, as well as creating a secret code and telling fortunes. It wasn't until the 18th century that pop-up books began being designed for entertainment purposes, such as children's books.
To make this project work for my digital imaging class, I will be editing the photos in Photoshop. Changing their color levels as well as the brightness, contrast, and saturation levels. I was inspired mostly by her project titled, "Bamei, Cave in the Forest."
