Prerequisite: Studio A & Studio B

Illustration is the art of communicating in visual form. Different styles and techniques of illustration and illustrators are explored using a variety of media including computer graphics to provide students with a wide range of possibilities for expressing their concepts. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional design are covered in the course with a strong emphasis on visual literacy and improving drawing skills. Students participate in “real world” assignments, exposing them to career opportunities in the field of illustration as a commercial art form. Students will also learn to assess their own work as well as the work of others in a positive way.
