| Description | This course explores illustration in the context
of broader cultural discourse. A key component of
the class involves internships in professional
practice. Through a sequence of projects,
students probe the relationship between the
professional production of images and wider
questions of participation in the public sphere.
This could involve work in print publication or
advertising, but it may also entail a variety of
other applied pictorial practices. This class
serves as a forum wherein students share their
external experiences and adapt and integrate
methodologies learned in professional contexts to
their own goals. The course seeks to cultivate
criticality while exploring how illustration
might contribute meaningfully to the shaping of
society. The goal will be to root illustrators in
a practice that transcends distinctions between
commerce poetic inquiry. |
