Prerequisite(s): ARIL 200. Restriction(s): Illustration majors only. Students develop visual ideas for illustration by uniting conceptual thinking (telling a story, using historical concepts), critical thinking (verbal/visual vocabulary, writing), creative thinking (problem-solving), and strong technical and communication skills. The student will originate and carry an idea through stages from ideation to elaboration and refinement. Projects use digital and traditional media. Through writing about their processes and research, students will explore their illustrative style discursively. Equivalent course ARIL 215 effective through Fall 2020.
