MMST12018 Illustration and Visualisation

Course description

This course will help you to develop skills in illustration and visual perception using traditional drawing materials and industry-standard illustration software such as Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand. Learn how to see like an artist by perceiving edges, negative space, perspective, proportion, tone and texture. Develop your drawing ability through the application of these perceptual skills, even if you believe that you have no artistic talent. Explore the legacy of Renaissance art and alternative traditions such as Egyptian, Eastern and modern art. Familiarise yourself with principles of colour theory. Discover how to draw expressive cartoon figures from fundamental shapes and forms. Note: Access to a computer with an Internet connection, audio capabilities and a CD-RW drive is a requirement for this course.
