The Bachelor of Fine Arts in art with an illustration focus, similar to other rigorous studio programs, provides an in-depth exploration of visual studies' history and theories. This framework accommodates diverse interests and artistic approaches, preparing students for technical, editorial, or storytelling illustration. By examining creative methods used by international artists across time periods and gaining hands-on experience with various media, students develop inventive solutions for both personal projects and professional assignments. Specialized instruction builds proficiency in traditional and modern illustration materials and methods. The illustration concentration concludes with advanced courses and a thesis project that bridges artistic practice with external disciplines like science, literature, politics, or current global issues. Whether through comedic, dramatic, or educational pieces, students discover how illustrators uniquely influence cultural narratives. This degree is administered by the Department of Art, Design, and Art History within the Leigh Gerdine College of Fine Arts.
