This course will be a survey regarding the concepts, techniques and methodology of illustration specifically designed for students who are considering illustration as a major. Students will examine illustration genres, including book, editorial and corporate illustration, while working with a variety of methods and materials.

Complementing this basic orientation will be frequent demonstrations of materials and techniques commonly used by illustrators.

By the end of the wintersession term, students will have gained an awareness of a few of the professional paths an illustrator may take, experimenting with a limited range of materials and techniques, and developed a sense of how to balance a practical image making with creative fulfillment.
