On this three鈥恮eek course, you will engage in a range of experimental research methods in order to strengthen your illustration practice. The focus will be on intuitive, image making, ways of exploring subject matter through illustration and developing content.
On your three-week Illustration course, you will be introduced to core skills to equip you with a solid foundation to operate within the breadth of illustration practices. Whether the techniques and processes are handmade (analogue) or digital (virtual) or a mixture of both, you will leave with an understanding of the diversity of designing within narrative structures and narrative environments.
You will research different cultures, and through conversations with your tutor and peers, devise strategies to make an effective and engaging experience for your audience(s).
Through a series of workshops, presentations, research trips, one-to-one tutorials and group discussion, you will explore the design protocols of character development, environment development, and narrative sequencing.

This course will be useful to you if you are interested in authorship, creating stories for picture books or comics, developing a portfolio for further study or simply looking for new methods of research, idea development and experimentation.
