Program Description
Illustration is one of the oldest art forms in history. It has long been an accompaniment to oral and written history, local and world news, and fiction alike. This residency will introduce students to the process of synthesizing comprehensive reading and study with the composition of an illustration of the chosen subject matter. While the residency begins with a common process of thought and composition, students quickly move into a stage where imagination and experimenting with innovation are achieved through a variety of illustration mediums. Students will work independently through the entire process, learning use of materials and mediums, developing an individual style, and completing an original illustration.
This residency is available for two or more classrooms.
