Objectives
Illustrated Narratives, foresees the consolidation of the working methods related to the illustrated image, experienced in previous years, assumed here from an author's perspective, encouraging personal investigation for the research of a specific identity.
Narratives will be explored for the construction of a final illustrated work that assumes the model of a possible publication.
This curricular unit is understood as a space for reflection, where the illustrated image will be preponderant in the construction of a visual sequence, whether linear or fragmented. It is intended to identify the social and cultural contexts where the illustrated image is the protagonist of its narrative universe.
Learning outcomes and competences
It is intended to develop a personal project to be presented at the end of the semester that explores the illustrated narratives.
Students are to address and recognize the importance of the referent and of the program, of the rhetorical discourse (informative and poetic), of the author, as well as of style and design in illustration. They should be able to provide practical and conceptual responses to different proposals within the field of illustration.
The understanding of all proposed contents also meets the acquisition of a culture of illustration, enabling students to master a specialized, comprehensive, rich, thoughtful, critical and argumentative discourse. Furthermore, it reinforces the students’ autonomy for shaping their own path in the illustration field.
Working method
Presencial
Program
Contemporary illustrated images will be articulated with points of contact inserted in the history of the image and its evolution.
Visual objects will be analyzed and worked on that enhance the construction of illustrated narratives based on the following assumptions:
- information
- comment
- fiction
- persuasion
- identity
The initial exercises to be developed propose to work on the possibilities that time, space, support, scale, technique or message offer in the creation of illustrated narratives that will culminate in a semester project.
The project is informed by the exercises and where hypotheses are raised from the history and practice of illustration that give rise to an artifact that explores the heritage of illustrated editorial typologies.
