Mini Research topics for "student-generated openings"

Your mini-research will come to fruition as an "opening."

An "opening" is a brief presentation during an appropriate class session that sheds light, ideas, and information on

whatever we are doing that day. All openings should be accompanied by a typed hand-out (that you make) of good stuff.

texts:

Any of our textbooks can be fuel for more searching, the result being a presentation at one of the seminars related to that text.

artists:

many of the artists mentioned in our books (book artists, poets, designers) are worthy of investigation.

organizations:

any single or many similar organizations may be fun to explore: "centers for the book" academic "book arts" programs, bookbinder & artists associations, and so on.l

hypertext & digital media:

what's going on? is the future here yet?...how about now?

children's books:

of course!

typography:

infinite!

.... you get the idea.
