The fundamentals of drawing, illustration, printing, composition, narrative and sequence are studied through iterative research and development. Students will explore a wide range of techniques and methods for creating image-based visual language. The module encourages students to develop their problem-solving and image-making skills to develop work that is both conceptually and aesthetically communicative.
