Aims
1. Support students to develop imaginative illustration practice through curiosity, playfulness and self-expression.
2. Support students to demonstrate resilience through self-aware and self-motivated practice.
3. Support students to develop a critical approach to research, thinking and making.
4. Investigate the relationship between materials and media, meaning and effect in illustration practice.
5. Recognise context and audience as integral elements of practice.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Experiment with and compare a variety of media, skills, technologies, techniques and working methods relevant to contemporary illustration practice to identify personal strengths and development needs.
2.
Demonstrate a self-motivated, curious, iterative, and critical approach in responding to briefs.
3.
Demonstrate a practical understanding of how meaning can be communicated through text and image.
4.
Demonstrate a meaningful understanding of audience and context in their decision making.
5.
Execute and present a body of work that demonstrates an experimental, original, and critical approach.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
- Projects: Analysing and understanding an illustration brief (purpose, aims, interpretation, time management).
- Project Management: responding to feedback, experimentation, creating ‘roughs’, engagement, refinement, planning.
- Visual Research: including documentary/ethnographic drawing, site specific drawing and photography, working with archive collections, collecting reference material, life drawing).
- Illustration: Illustration process, drawing, sequential imagery, zine, bookbinding, visual narrative, composition, print, collage, printmaking, animation, 3D, moving image, figure drawing, thinking through making, making through thinking, making and interpreting meaning, exploring the relationship between text and image.
- Understanding and engaging audience (realising intention and impact, develop critical awareness and suitability for intended audience and context, represent diversity).
- Emergent Technologies (exploration of alternative materials and processes, cross pathway ‘Play Days’).
- Presenting projects (application, reproduction, formatting, portfolio, print and screen based, verbal and written representation).
Module Overview:
This module is focussed on developing and expanding your illustration practice through experimentation, creative play and iteration. You will examine the relationship between media, method, text, and audience and investigate making and interpreting meaning within images. Experimentation across a diverse range of digital and analogue processes and formats within illustration practice will inform the production of a portfolio of work.
