Illustration

Overview

Course Overview

Using traditional and digital methods to augment your practice through exhibition, publication or exciting new interdisciplinary forms, this Illustration program at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David will refine your understanding of contemporary illustration and your individual specialist interests.

You will have the opportunity to draw upon experiences and knowledge from across the different pathways and reflect this in your own personal study.

In the first part of the Illustration program at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David, you will complete a series of taught modules. You will participate in multidisciplinary exchanges, through seminars and lectures involving students from all programmes within the Contemporary Dialogues portfolio, to stimulate new perspectives and challenge directions. The cross-fertilisation of ideas through such dialogues is expected to promote a rethinking of the perceptions and production techniques appropriate to your discipline.

Throughout the taught part of the programme, you will be expected to undertake material investigations and research into contemporary themes, with consideration given to environmental, economic, social, and cultural issues.
