INTERMEDIATE ILLUSIONIST PAINTING
Illusionist Painting” is an atelier-style course focused on contemporary representational painting practices, with an emphasis on figure painting from life. Students will have extended class time to accomplish paintings from the live model. The course will include an observational approach to painting the human figure, and will develop skills in proportion, perspective, modeling form and illusion, based on an intermediate version level of the class. The beginner version of this class will emphasize materials set-up, preliminary drawing and proportions, and clear color and color value planes on the objects and models. The intermediate version of this class will emphasize the completed image “lay-in” stages of drawing, painting, and proportions, color concept, and narrative elements in the painting. null We will cover contemporary methods and materials, and traditional methods in panel painting, canvas and chassis, ground preparation, pigment preparation, varnishes and mediums, and mural painting among other methods and processes.

THE SPOT ILLUSTRATION
“In this course, students explore the creation and use of illustration narrative for reproduction, print and digital, in small size format. Shorter time constraints will also be applied. Students will work from existing copy from a number of publications and sources to develop concise, effective narrative spot illustrations for use in print as well as digital end formats. Single spots, as well as spot series will be explored. In addition, a quickened path from idea to finished illustration will be implemented. All finished illustration work will be combined and presented as a PDF document at end of course”
INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL DEVELOPMENT
In this course, students will complete a deep-dive investigation into the role of a visual development artist within the animation industry. Students will come to understand how this creative role fits into a greater production pipeline and know all the various specialties that exist under this umbrella term. Students will leave this course with a solid visual development project for their portfolios.
