Illustration

Our Illustration program started in 1990 with the objective to provide a quality art program to students who are interested in the traditional techniques of drawing and painting but prefer a career track other than the traditional studio artist.

The majority of illustrators are self-employed. For this reason we strongly encourage our illustration majors to develop a strong foundational understanding of typography, layout, print and web design. This knowledge, combined with drawing and illustration skills, makes them very attractive to potential employers.

In our classes we emphasize the conceptual side of the creative process, and the exploration of traditional illustration techniques. Additionally, we provide up to date computer graphics applications.

We offer classes in drawing, figure drawing, oil painting, watercolor painting, color studies, art history and beginning as well as advanced illustration. All of our classes are taught by full time faculty or adjunct faculty with extensive professional experience.
