Illustration Mediums involves deep experimentation with media and processes for the creation of illustration. The matter of materials is approached with curiosity and openness for discovery, attending to the unexpected ways different media combine and alchemise to express emotion, atmosphere and story. The course will involve hands-on studio time engaging with a range of media, including ink, pencil, paint, crayons, digital, screen printing, collage, multi-media, and techniques for scanning, colour correction, colour palette and masking.
