What You’ll Learn

Studio‑Based Learning
80% studio / 20% breadth courses — your work begins in the studio.

Drawing From Life
Working from observation is a critical practice in Illustration. It builds form and communicates content.

Painting + Materials Media
You’ll work in a variety of media — colour, paint, printmaking, and material exploration.

Digital Tools
All studios have digital workstations. Students are introduced to motion, 3D, and web‑based tools, and have access to laser cutters, 3D printers, and a photolab.

Motion + 3D
Illustration as moving image — exploring storytelling through time and space.

Finding Your Voice
Develop personal direction through entertainment, information, and engagement‑based projects.
