ILLUS-4000: Studio 3: Thesis

Course Description

This course helps each student to develop a personal voice and unique visual communication style. Students propose a semester-long assignment based on a single concept or narrative story. Through sketch iteration, research, and experimentation, they create 10-15 pieces to be seen as a cohesive personal expression. Class critique and teacher mentorship help clarify ideas and refine technical skills. The work from Thesis and Portfolio courses will eventually be incorporated into a student's Senior Show exhibited in their final semester.
