Book Bout - Building Things Out of Books

Post by Prof. Sky Alton »

There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a pile of books. Although, why stop at a simple stack?

For this prompt, we’d like you to build something out of books and take a photo. It could be a bridge, a castle, a shelf or something even stranger - let your imagination run wild.

If you don’t have any physical books to hand there are two other ways to join in. You can make a piece of art using the titles of books you’ve read recently. Alternatively, you can construct some fun sentences using book titles (how about even trying to give someone directions: ‘Travel Towards Zero and use The Golden Compass to follow the Northern Lights’).

If you take a photo or make a graphic, please upload it to an image hosting website and make sure that it’s no more than 600 x 600 pixels (remember to include a short description of your image). If you complete the written option, please provide at least 3 sentences for the full 5 team points.

I decided to make a castle out of books. Other than books, I used bookmarks to create pavements.

After I saw what Louis had built I was wowed, holy cow! Hats off to you!!

I made a little thing for my cactuses and water bowl only using the books I have in my room
(I was super afraid that the top book would bend over and fall in the water xD)

This is supposed to be Hagrid's hut. Professor Dumbledore has paid him a visit while Harry, Ron and Hermione are trying to peek through the window to see what is going on but admittedly they can't see much.
