ARTWS 188 - Illustration 1

2 credits

Imaginative illustration is the translation of a text or concept into a synthetic visual symbol, saying things that cannot be said in words. The course teaches various techniques and provides basic skills as a necessary background to achieve a variety of illustrations in many different fields, such as magazine/newspaper editorials, book covers, children’s books, posters, advertising, etc. Students develop their own style, working within actual professional limitations such as size, number of colors, and quality of paper. Projects are reviewed in the perspective of the individual’s complete portfolio.

Notes: Bring pencils, pen, ink and a 11” x 14” sketchbook to the first class.
