Along with a general history of illustration practice, this course will focus on how illustrators tell visual stories and have been shaped by the times in which they live. Images have been used as entertainment a well as propaganda. They can be used as a weapon, or they can elevate the voices of the marginalized. Illustrators both reflect and critique popular culture. Their images have been used to advance and resist political and social movements. This course is about the power of the image and how the evolution of the practice has given illustrators the ability to contribute to social discourse and cultural change.
