ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Illustration minor is an 18-hour program.
The field of illustration holds a more traditional history and perspective within
the program. However, more modern techniques are covered as well. The role of illustrator
is based in the fine arts but responds directly to the audience and the client. Similar
to graphic design, the illustrator is responsible for defining the audience and communicating
through imagery, which is appropriate and understood by the audience. The program
covers a variety of types of illustration including editorial, educational and technical,
as well as character development and other forms of illustration.
Award-winning creatives in their own right, our faculty show students where to start and how to develop a concept from first idea to a final, finished illustration. They are professionals with years of experience working in the industry and educating aspiring illustrators. Students gain professional experience throughout their studies with the guidance of our accomplished and recognized faculty.
The minor in Illustration consists of 18 hours. Three required classes provide students
with fundamental skills in
illustration.
