Course summary
BA (Hons) Illustration and Visual Media is a studio-based course that aims to produce creative and innovative illustrators who are prepared to take risks with their work. This course is taught at London College of Communication, at Elephant and Castle, part of University of the Arts London (UAL). What can you expect? The course offers you the intellectual and creative space to examine existing definitions of illustration whilst exploring future directions. This enables you to work in a broad range of media, processes and techniques. Image based storytelling is the basis for what we do and we do not purely follow the figurative drawing base of traditional illustration courses, instead we encourage you to work in a broad range of media, processes and techniques. The course is not defined by a medium or material and not limited to a style but fuelled by a desire to communicate by whatever means are appropriate. This can be presented as sculpture, typography, photography, film, animation, digital, print based or a combination of all of these. The course is led by a team of practising artists, designers, researchers and academics who will support you in becoming well informed and critically engaged.
