This course will explore drawing and illustration with a strong emphasis on concept. While drawing skills and techniques are a large part of the class we will focus on concepts and the process by which ideas are developed, edited and ultimately presented in both personal and public contexts. Students will explore visual communication problem solving theories and methodologies in order to solve problems in the design process. The course employs an open-minded approach to the use of a diversity of media and emphasizes both imagination and individual expression through the continuous development of skills in drawing.
