ART 4192 - Illustration (3 Credit Hours)

Lecture Hours: 0 Lab Hours: 0
This drawing course provides a broad introduction to the field of illustration with a series of individual assignments that mirror professional projects and practices. Each of the class projects will require conceptual thinking(telling a story), critical thinking (verbal/visual vocabulary), creative thinking (problem solving) and strong technical skills. Student process and progress will be documented and presented within each problem. Experimentation is strongly encouraged, as is strong technique, craft and attention to detail. Various traditional drawing media will be introduced and explored, including ink, colored pencil, markers and water-based paint. Students may also choose to explore digital solutions, but they would need to provide their own technology and have a basic understanding of programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. Successful completion of all Area F courses work required.
