ILUS 305 - SU01G: Illustration Genres: Topic
In this linked academic and studio course, students will explore the intertwining of human activity and natural environments, responding to personal experiences and research through field journals. Trips to local sites in Vancouver (all accessible by public transportation), will offer opportunities for on-site drawing and photography, with the spontaneous observations and unpredictable energy of being on location. Students will also select their own unique site for detailed study and field guide development.
We will explore strategies for on-site drawing and research as well as other approaches to capturing observations and experiences. Course activities will range from research in archives, expert interviews, exploring documentary, reportage, storytelling and new ways to consider the role of the artist as visual commentator. The range of artistic output could vary from photodocumentary to imagined illustrative visions. Students will develop artwork and writing as personal responses to the class investigations.
Field journals provide a methodology for documentation, research and personal expression. Throughout the class, students will develop a thematic field guide as a means to collect imagery, expand research and develop ideas. The course will culminate with a longer investigative project that could take forms such as artist books, illustrated journals, posters, narrative photographs or a series of paintings with texts.

Topic: Illustration in the Anthropocene
The term Anthropocene designates the time when human activities started to significantly impact our ecological and geological systems. In popular use it has become associated with the processes of climate change, habitat destruction and the loss of biodiversity on the planet earth. It is truly a global movement and evidence for it can be found in the sediment and ice core samples dating back to the mid-20th century. But how does one react to this grand event within the discipline of illustration. In this course we will be exploring how illustrators can participate in these conversations. We will also be investigating the role that images have in our culture and their ability to challenge, educate and display ecological issues.
