插图美术学士

通过广泛的课程设置，插图专业学生在对当代主题和概念有了扎实的理解后，便在很大程度上是对媒体进行自我导向的探索。教师坚持敏锐的观察力和强大的概念性思维，并熟练掌握以令人信服的方式传达思想所需的手工技能和技巧。在他们的作品中展示艺术声音和原始思想的成熟，这在形式，概念和技术关注点的融合中得到证明；清晰地表达了艺术历史先例的知识及其对创建当代图像的意义；展示了通过与更广泛的联系而增强意义的能力通过隐喻，明确的歧义和文化参考，使观众对想象的主观关注，对各种作品的视觉传达的诠释和评估产生见识和批评，并着眼于公民责任
In the four-year Illustration BFA program you take on a largely self-directed exploration of media, gaining a solid understanding of contemporary themes and concepts. Faculty encourage keen observation, strong conceptual thinking, and the mastery of manual skills and techniques you need to convey ideas in a compelling manner. In the first year, sophomores focus on developing both creative intelligence and technical facility. Courses in illustrative problem solving nurture original thinking and conceptual clarity, while classes in drawing and painting strengthen basic image-making skills. Juniors choose among a range of electives in both traditional and digital media, along with image formulation for specific professional applications. The program also encourages you to take on professional internships and independent study projects.
