The Programme
This course develops skills and ideas within illustration. Study includes practical and theoretical work embracing individual and group activities. A body of work prepared at each stage forms the core of assessed material, this is supplemented by written documentation, peer cooperation and presentations made by the students.
The Programme Content
Within art and design, Illustration is a visually dynamic means of communication and is wide and varied. Our course begins with an introduction that explores the breadth of Illustration, what it is and how it works within our every day lives.
This course aims to build skills, broaden horizons and challenge thinking to enable students to respond, create, invent, explore and resolve ideas. Students are encouraged to make individual responses to a range of design and art briefs, via traditional approaches, new technologies, two and three dimensions or time based responses such as animation. Underpinning this we look at twentieth and twenty first century art and design examples and explore a breadth of professional guidelines designed to help you function as an Illustrator in the wider world.
