Illustration ILUS 410 26/SP

Description

This Senior Illustration Studio course provides students with the opportunity to propose and develop a self-directed body of work. Sections are taught by a single faculty member or offered in a team-taught model. Whether through assigned projects, artistic production, research, discussions, writing and critique, students are expected to increase their understanding of the content and context of their process and production as well as their knowledge of contemporary illustration. Students will consider different formats for their output relevant to a range of diverse professional, artistic outlets. Students meet regularly for group seminars as well as in one-to-one tutorials with their instructor(s). Critiques and discussions complement studio production where considerable independent time and maturity is expected.
