Summary

Our MA Illustration programme encourages the development of an individual and distinctive illustrative practice through engagement with contemporary approaches, contexts, audiences and debates.

Ethos Contemporary illustration continues to flourish, becoming far more fluid, outward-looking and interdisciplinary in nature, meaning that the role of the illustrator can encompass many new possibilities. Our programme explores this rapidly changing landscape alongside wider cultural contexts of image, text and narrative. The MA Illustration will allow you to develop a distinctive position for yourself as an illustrator, whether through traditional collaborations with the design community, creative directors and publishers, or through contemporary self-directed alliances – such as the formation of collectives and independent publishing and gallery-based ventures.

Outline Rigorous investigation and debate about illustrative practice will enrich your understanding of both the potential and relevance of the discipline as a whole, as well as your own social responsibilities as an imagemaker. We offer a dynamic studio environment in which to study illustration as an image-making practice, with access to workshop areas across the college. Taught delivery within the programme provides a mix of discipline-specific methods and cross-disciplinary approaches that can be applied across creative and commercial sectors. Our shared module structure allows you to develop a dialogue with creative practitioners across the Graduate School.

Supported practices This programme supports authorial illustration practices, and practitioners who want to investigate new approaches to illustration made possible by contemporary critical debates.
