ILUS 208 SU01C: Illustration Process: Topics

Submitted by Admin on Wed, 2024-03-06 07:07

This course varies in topic from section to section, and is repeatable for credit so long as the thematic topic has changed. This course will introduce students to illustration methodologies and develop a capacity for critical discourse concerning the content of imagery in applied art practices. This will be achieved through an iterative process that maintains a continued focus on a specialized skill set. Topics might include: Colour Theory, Digital Illustration, and Perspective, among others. As an impressively diverse field that spans print, screen, objects, and environments physical and virtual, Illustration increasingly necessitates versatility in both material process and problem-solving skills.

Topic: Life Drawing, Gesture and Short Poses

This life drawing course offers a study of the human figure in action, through gesture drawings and short poses. Distribution of weight, skeletal structure, muscular exertion, kinetic connectivity, and forces of stability and mobility will be emphasized through the life model's action poses. Students will gain practice with volumetric/three-dimensional drawing of the figure in motion and capturing the dynamic energy of a pose.
