The illustration major engages in a rigorous study of technical skills, critical thinking and problem solving through various media, materials and techniques. As an illustration major, you will become competent using both traditional media such as pencils, ink and paint, as well as emerging media including PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign. You will understand the breadth of this field by completing studio projects in representational, conceptual and narrative illustration. You will be expected to become expert in at least one of these areas of concentration. Your studio work will be supported by discussions of the historical development, aesthetics and contemporary issues unique to illustration. The need for collaboration with professionals in separate but supporting disciplines, and the skills and experiences central to successful entrepreneurship are among the topics covered in the seminar courses. Internships in professional illustration studios and publishing venues will provide valuable experience, insight, and contacts.
