Informed by lecture, discussion, examples, and selected readings, students explore these concepts through a series of assignments, each presenting a different set of defined objectives and considerations related to audience and general function of the illustration (descriptive, expressive, narrative, iconographic, metaphoric, etc.). Through preliminary studies and sketches, students are encouraged to explore multiple solutions and strive for the most successful result, with thoughtful consideration of concept, drawing issues, composition and technical concerns. Student work is evaluated on the basis of originality and effectiveness (process, appropriateness, readability, visual impact).

Media include ink, transparent watercolor, gouache, acrylic, oil, pastel, color pencil, on a variety of surfaces, handled expressively or with precision and often used in combination. In this course, assignments address a range of subject matter, rendered or painted from direct observation, still life, wildlife, urban and natural landscape, portrait, and clothed figure. Preliminary exercises provide opportunities for experimentation and technical practice. Assignments are evaluated on the basis of technical process and proficiency, composition (cropping), knowledge of issues related to readability and reproduction, and the mixing of pigment to match observed value and color, as an indication of understanding and skillful application of color theory

  Take ADIL-S202;

  Credits:

  3.00

  Description:

  This course examines the elements of visual style, the relationship between style and function (how style conveys meaning), and the role and impact of stylistic trends in illustration. It incorporates a historical survey of visual style in both the fine and applied arts. Effective illustration employs style in support of expressive and conceptual purpose. Individual artistic style evolves natually from a particular technical approach, a unique combination of competencies and weaknesses, influenced by aesthetic preferences. Individual style both reflects and helps to define the contemporary culture in which it is produced. In this course, the topic of art direction is explored and discussed, as well as the rationale behind the choices of commercial art buyers and the general public. Each assignment involves a specific set of parameters related to subject and identify and take advantage of every oportunity for creative freedom that exists within every composition. Students are encourage to explore their preferred media and technical approach as they develop awareness of the element that contributes to their own unique style. Evaluation criteria include the impact of appropriate style and the relative effectiveness of each illustration.
