A central element of this University of Gloucestershire course is the application and testing of communicative drawing, as well as drawing with identified purpose and intent. An intense and productive process of inquiry and investigation, focusing on the acquisition of fluency, clarity and coherence in expressing visual narrative, will form students' core practice.
The techniques and technologies which form the practice-based mechanisms of illustration are also key, with the aim of achieving a dynamic, sophisticated and confident application of process. Students will actively explore printmaking, digital painting, creative software and all forms of natural media.
Drawing will also form a methodology for research and investigation, supported by lectures and workshops, and delivered by illustration staff who have a wide range of industry and publishing experience. Students will be guided in intellectual and critical inquiry through practice, lectures and reflective study.
The programme encourages enterprise and promotion alongside personal development. Students will have opportunities to print, publish and disseminate their work in collaborative and personal publications for Gloucestershire's imprint, ‘The Pittville Press,’ which is actively promoted at book fairs and publishing events. A series of intensive tutorials will direct students towards a creative portfolio strategy relevant to their personal aims.
