TRAINING COURSES

IL LIBRO HA TRE DIMENSIONI 
organizes training and refresher courses 
for teachers, librarians and cultural workers.

Basic course/workshop
The aim of this course is to learn the techniques to make three-dimensional pages. Every session includes both a theoric part about the history and the typology of the chosen book and a practical one to learn its peculiar paper engineering techniques. During the training course multidisciplinary information will be given to establish relations between the subject of the training course and the school subjects.

Advanced course
From the skills acquired in the basic workshop, more complex techniques are introduced following the historical evolution of this type of book and their realization will be introduced, if possible, in order to create new three-dimensional solutions.
Moreover, it is shown how a book is projected and which graphic and technical rules need to be respected to realize a book that can become a publishing product too.

Pop-up book projecting course
During the workshop, several dummies are created about general topics (i.e. traditional fairy tales like "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs"; scientific subjects like "The Weather" and "The Senses"; stories of various narrative types). The participants will be divided into groups and always directed by one of our cultural workers. Every group makes a dummy of a pop-up book, which is different for every session, learning to use and to harmonize the known techniques in order to illustrate a text with three-dimensional images.
