Our Visiting Artists and Lecture Series’ bring a diverse array of artists and lecturers to the college each semester.
As an Illustration student, your experience culminates in a Senior Illustration Thesis, an immersive, year-long independent project– one of the most comprehensive Illustration Portfolio Development sequences in the country. You’ll develop a “seed library” of ideas, methods, and visual strategies while producing a cohesive body of work that reflects your evolving artistic identity.
This work is exhibited and presented to invited professionals from publishing, editorial, advertising, institutional, and corporate markets. When you graduate, you students can confidently begin your professional lives with the skills and experiences needed to succeed.
