MA

MA Illustration encourages practitioners to question the nature of their own practice, its context and place within the creative industries and beyond. The course offers an expansive notion of illustration exploring the relationships between illustrator as author, audience/artifice, and site or context, and the contemporary blurring of boundaries across disciplines. Ideas will be researched and developed through specific individual approaches to practical research and reflective enquiry and applied using appropriate media and techniques. The course will appeal to students who are open to engagement with a diverse range of creative ideas and possibilities, from traditional illustration techniques including drawing and printmaking, to digital lens-based and time-based media, exhibition and performance.
