Illustration is the art of translating verbal ideas into imagery. The heart of a good illustration is communication—the ability to convey specific information to an audience through pictures alone. To do that, an illustrator must possess fluency in a visual vocabulary. This course will introduce the basic elements of a visual vocabulary through in-class exercises and discussions. Students will learn to transform simple (and some not-so-simple) ideas, words, phrases, and anecdotes into clear, economical images that can add otherwise unavailable insights into their source materials. Some drawing experience is helpful, but not required. This is a class about visual problem-solving, not artistic technique. If a great idea can be conveyed with stick figures, we’ll take it.
