The class is intended to give students a clear idea of what it's like to be an illustrator, to develop some illustration skills, and to learn ways to approach visual communication from the perspective of an illustrator. Students will learn what kinds of illustration/illustrators are out in the world, how the business of illustration works, and how to conceive and execute professional-level illustrations. Assignments will be structured more or less like real illustration assignments would be, and a few assignments will be to make pictures of your own choice using illustration techniques we will explore in class. Hybrid course sections will be delivered both in-person and online. Online portions will be delivered with both asynchronous and synchronous components that will be outlined in the course syllabus.
