    Building on skills acquired in Artists' Books I, this course provides more advanced bookmaking skills in various traditional and modern forms and presents numerous books as exemplars as well as bibliographies for further investigation in response to the individual student's particular interests. In addition to completing several small projects early in the semester, the intermediate student, in dialogue with the instructors, designs a semester-length project cultivated around exemplars and models. Through class critique and discussion, appropriate formats for specified concepts are identified, which the student can then adapt, customize, and apply in the production of a self-authored artist's book. Critical theory, content development, book design, integration of various media, low-tech image making and printing processes, and the functionality of various bookmaking materials are covered. A student with previous letterpress experience is encouraged to produce a letterpress edition, and will be advised by instructors regarding printing concerns. Prerequisites: Minor status in Book Arts.

    Part of Business Fundamentals, an integrated survey of foundational business concepts. The Management component will introduce students to the field of management. Businesses depend upon people with the ability to organize how work gets done. In modern organizations, this task falls to managers. Managers come in many forms, but they have one core responsibility in common: they need to get the right people to the right place at the right time to do the right job. Every day, managers face questions such as: How do you find and attract the right people with the right skills? How do you motivate them? How do you design work? How do you think critically and make effective decisions in organizations? What ethical obligations do you have to stakeholders, and how can you meet them while respecting your own values? Successful businesses rely on their managers' abilities to approach these questions with wisdom and skill. Prerequisites: Intermediate or Full Major status in the David Eccles School of Business.
