Prerequisite(s): ARIL 261. Restriction(s): BFA Illustration majors. Students will create cartoons from the refinement and isolation of a concept from a prompt to publication-ready content. This studio exploration of the single-panel cartoon, the editorial cartoon, and humorous illustration uses discussion, examination, analysis, and experimentation to achieve expressive cartoons. Cartoon formats, concepts, styles, and techniques are explored using historical and contemporary examples. Critiques and discussion provide an audience whose reactions are incorporated by the student presenter as learning tools toward humorist execution. Assignments are treated as part of a publication process that functions on firm deadlines for delivery, revision, and final artwork.
