Course summary

About this course MA Illustration is a place where you can develop, test and discuss your work within a community of dedicated staff and a highly motivated and diverse community of practitioners, and with the support of state-of-the-art technical facilities, space to work amongst like-minded, creative people. MA Illustration encourages active participation in a wide range of creative practices. The course modules and project briefs are designed to test and develop each student’s own distinct visual methodology leading towards a viable, sustainable professional practice. We explore and develop our visual work through practice, discussion and workshops that provide an entertaining, challenging and supportive sociable working environment. Practice is supported utilising traditional and / or digital methods of making. These include: drawing and printmaking using lens and time-based media 3D and 2D working with ideas and concepts that might finally be realised through exhibition, publication or any number of exciting new hybrid forms Illustration is considered to be a function of an image making practice and as such can be viewed as a means to intervene in a wide range of conversations and subjects. The process of disseminating or publishing your work is as important to us as the means of production. Audience and reception and the management of this is also a formative part of the wider circle of illustration practice. We recognise an expanded understanding of contemporary illustration through the exploration of relationships between illustrator as author, audience and context and the responsibility of being public actors engaging in social and cultural production. The course encourages students to engage imaginatively with their practice in relation to an evolving academic subject and to define their own area of expertise. Students studying on the course come from a wide range of diverse backgrounds including illustration, graphic design, creative writing, printmaking, drawing, animation, photography and painting. Others come from outside of art and design, having had experience across other subject disciplines, but who demonstrate a passion for illustration.
