This course promotes an expansive notion of Illustration. It recognises and embraces the potential for illustration to be a ‘wild frontier’. It explores the exciting synergy between and the blurring across contemporary disciplines, whilst challenging and interrogating preconceptions. Illustration is a way of seeing and understanding the world, connecting and communicating the emotional, psychological, cultural, socio-political and historical.

The course will provide you with an active creative environment within which you will be encouraged to experiment, test and develop your work. You will explore drawing, painting and printmaking, as well as lens-based, digital, interactive and time-based media; this variety of media reflects the diversity of contemporary illustration. Our aim is to support and enable you to develop as an individual practitioner and to be prepared to work confidently and successfully within and at the forefront of the creative industries.
