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.
