WHY THIS COURSE?
A lot of artists and creative people are disgruntled about their lack of time for their personal projects and development. They want AND NEED to get off their habitual thread-mill…. but how? In this ILLUSTRATION BOOT CAMP participants will take a leap into a lively and productive atmosphere with like-minded people. With a little encouragement and some coercion, I, and (hopefully your colleagues!) will sway you into acting upon your ideas. Understanding the importance of the creative process is not theoretical, but hugely personal and experiential. Making time to create new work beyond the commercial sphere can, and will, feed back into a more rewarding (and hopefully lucrative!) career.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will especially appeal to those who wish to spend time on personal illustration projects, to those who want to build a strong illustration portfolio, and to visual art practitioners who have an interest in pursuing a career in illustration, either part or full time. We explore the many mediums on offer today and encourage you to go beyond your comfort zone. The main purpose of illustration is to enhance or augment the written word with an image. So far we have had participants who are ‘dabbling’ for years, practising graphic designers, fine artists who want to upskill, visual art students, architects, designers, tattooists, animators, and those who want to explore illustration further; not everyone has an art degree, for example, some have taken evening art classes over the years etc. Students will broaden and cultivate their illustration skills in a relaxed and creative environment. There will be discussions, themed projects, critiques, and ‘hands on’ productivity. You will get to investigate different approaches to problem-solving whilst cultivating your conceptual skills, through a variety of media. Projects are fun and relevant to the industry.
