Participants will create layered pages using unconventional mark-making techniques and unexpected drawing tools, transforming gestures and movements into a visual record of the creative process. Artist\/Instructor, Andy Krzystek, approaches his paintings background through nontraditional methods including works created with skateboard wheels and the feet of chairs. Participants will build a collection of marked pages that document their experience through nonverbal expression rather than text. Using these handmade pages, participants will learn to fold and construct a sculptural lotus book, allowing the marks themselves to design the pages in their final form. Part drawing experiment, part book arts practice, this workshop invites participants to explore process and personal visual language while creating an artist book that becomes a tactile record of time spent creating at the Art Center. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndy Krzystek\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy Krzystek is a native of the Buffalo\/Niagara region and a graduate of the University at Buffalo with a BFA in Printmaking.
