Illustration for Beginners
Taught by Brian Biggs
In-Person | Thursdays, from 12:30 -5:30 PM
Open to All Temple Students

Course Overview: The class is usually the first time a student has encountered the concept of illustrating, versus merely drawing. We use the various constraints and limitations in illustration – media, timelines, client briefs, and especially texts – to explore the idea of bringing one’s own personal interested and history into the work made for a client or to accompany a text.

Stylized Figures for Illustration
Taught by Nicole Medina
In-Person | Wednesdays, from 12:00 -5:00 PM
Open to D&I Students

Course Overview: In the world of illustration, artists have a wealth of figurative
approaches at their disposal. They can opt for hyper-realism, complete with detailed shading and precise proportions, or they can convey a figure with just a few strategic strokes on a simple shape, achieving an ultra-minimalist representation. There is a whole spectrum of styles in between, each offering a unique means for illustrators to communicate their message via the aesthetic choices they’ve imbued within the figure they’ve created. This course delves into these diverse methods, providing a structured exploration of the various ways to represent the figure.
