The Book as Art
An exhibit by members of Art Books Cleveland
On display October 25 through November 24, 2019
What, you may ask, is Book Art?
It is a book or book-like object made by an artist in which the primary interest or emphasis is visual.
Artist's books incorporate many different forms of media.
They are little worlds – secrets almost.
Even when they are huge in structure they are intimate.
Some artist's books are like self-contained galleries – each page like a wall and the whole book an exhibition.

The Importance of Art in Child Development
Although some may regard art education as a luxury, simple creative activities are some of the building blocks of child development. Learning to create and appreciate visual aesthetics may be more important than ever to the development of the next generation of children as they grow up.
Developmental Benefits of Art: Improve motor skills, language development, decision making, visual learning, inventiveness, improve academic performance, and cultural awareness.
