IL 1000 - Freshman Drawing Portfolio for Illustrators

Credits: 0

The Illustration Department has a unique drawing requirement for first-year Illustration students. Beginning in their fourth term, each student will submit a drawing portfolio that demonstrates their technical control and drawing ability. This portfolio is composed of a sketchbook and a handful of drawings, that may include still life renderings, figure drawings, and/or perspective drawings. The department partners with the foundations program and offers course projects, activities, demos, and events to help students prepare their portfolio. Upon successful completion of this course, students will submit a portfolio that showcases their drawing skills, the ability to communicate realistic form and value within a composition, the ability to depict accurate human proportions, and an understanding of line and linear perspective.

Notes: This course is pass/fail. Students who do not pass the review must register for the course again, revise their work and resubmit their portfolio during their 5th or 6th terms.

Course Learning Outcomes:

Communicate realistic form and value structure within a composition.
Depict accurate human proportions.
Use linear perspective to communicate an accurate sense of space and depth.
