Description:
'Visual Storytelling Studio' is an intermediate and advanced drawing course for in-depth study of approaches to storytelling and their application in their visual narrative. Students will analyze historical examples of visual narratives and imagery related to character design, learn pre-production for character design and will develop concept art and character sheets. Representative areas of inquiry include: digital drawing and designing; storyboarding language and approaches; anatomy and the figure; color theory; material investigations; developing artistic style; and others. Within each umbrella topic, a range of techniques, concepts, and subject matter will be explored. Students will become more fully fluent in the aesthetic concepts associated with a specific topic and develop methods of presentation based on professional practices. Primary emphasis is on the development of an individual direction within the context of historical and contemporary techniques, ideas and images in concept art. This class is repeatable. Each time a student repeats the class they will be expected to further develop their technical expertise and produce a professional cohesive body of artwork. A minimum of 3 hours of work outside of class is required per week. This course is repeatable up to 6 times for a total of 18 credits, and can be taken for a total of six credits per semester.
