Every illustrator is a storyteller at heart. That’s why the MassArt Illustration program emphasizes understanding character development and narrative techniques.
The Illustration program teaches BFA students how to master the art of visual storytelling. Learning from professional illustrators, you will develop your drawing skills and learn to transform ideas and narratives into images that can be reproduced in print, electronic format, and time-based media. By graduation, Illustration majors produce a body of work that expresses their ideas and showcases their artistic and storytelling skills, preparing them for success in the professional world of illustration.

The Right Stuff: Maryann Cocca-Leffler, Award-Winning Author of Children’s Books, Supports Equity and Inclusion
- Alumni in the News
- Illustration
Determined to focus on a career in art, Cocca-Leffler enrolled in the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, majoring in illustration.
“When you begin art school, you don’t really know what area to focus on, so I took every single art course possible, including; pottery, architecture, graphic design, drawing and painting, before I landed on illustration,” said Cocca-Leffler. “It seemed like a natural choice, since I loved children’s book art and already had acquired quite a collection of children’s books.”
