- The Illustration and Animation BA (Hons) course will give students the skills they need to work as a visual artist. The University often uses visual language to communicate complex ideas and information and, with ever-evolving digital technology being used alongside traditional techniques, this is an exciting and fast-moving area to work in.
- Here at Cambridge School of Art, the students will investigate the connections between illustration and animation, creating sequential narratives using traditional and cutting-edge digital image-making techniques, and cultivating their creative abilities and technical skills.
- While developing their personal visual style, the students will also focus on the basics: refining the drawing skills through observation of the visual environment and telling stories through moving image. The students will also look at the growing opportunities in contemporary illustration and animation practice, producing a portfolio that reflects their artistic capacities and meets the current demands of the creative industries.
- In the first year of the course, the students will explore both illustration and animation through studio-based teaching, software training, practical projects, group critiques, and individual tutorials.
- During the second year, they will focus on animation, developing your technical skills, and exploring the creative possibilities of this art form through a number of individual and group projects. The students will also have the chance to take part in work placements, research trips, and live projects.
- In your final year, they will have their illustration and animation skills, and their personal style - while also producing a professional portfolio and exhibiting in the degree show.
- The ongoing contextual studies modules will support the practice-based work throughout the course. They will learn to confidently express their ideas and creative intentions by developing critical communication and presentation skills in a stimulating studio environment. This will prepare them for the final research project and their future career.
- They will be supported by a team of lecturers and tutors who are all artists and researchers, committed to pursuing their own creative practice in the areas of illustration and animation. As well as benefitting from their experience and knowledge, they can also be confident of receiving the latest insights into the realities of working in the creative industries.
