This graduate level course guides students
through
developing the grounding theory supporting their
thesis. Working in conjunction with independent
summer research practice and thesis inquiry that
is guided by student's supervisors, this course
will serve as a site for further exploration.
Imagined as an exquisite corpse reading
collective, students will work in affinity groups
to collaboratively seek out resources that can
strengthen the theoretical foundations of their
work. Through innovative conversational formats,
students will engage with written content, forming
questions, unpacking assumptions considering
research trajectories and identifying relevance
through sites of knowledge and knowing. Ideas will
be advanced by group discussions, thinking through
readings, critiques, and critical writing,
ultimately developing complex understandings and
connections with theory and practice.

Description
This course provides a broad historical and
cultural awareness of illustration as a field
with its relationships to both fine art and
commercial practices. Equipped with terms and
concepts specific to illustration, students will
consider past and current challenges to the
field, towards imagining critical and responsible
future trajectories. Students will analyze how
images are thought to function in different
frameworks, alert to ever-evolving social and
political contexts, artistic movements, and
technological changes. Students will also deepen
their understanding of illustration genres,
techniques and methodologies by reflecting on
their own creative processes through these
historical lenses and theoretical frameworks.
