c o u r s e d e s c r i p t i o n g a l l e r y ILLUS 5227 Illustration Concepts 1 Staff Illustration is the visual communication of ideas and feelings. The fine arts, in contrast, merely require expression. But in illustration, where communication is paramount, lucid articulation is essential. An illustration that is not understood by its audience is a failure. In this context, “art” is not an end but a means: it is a delivery system for the percep- tions of the mind and the heart. Mastery of the means of expression is admirable, but the underlying concept is fundamental. “How?” is subservient to “Why?” Illustration Concepts 1 is the first of two sequential required courses that acknowledge and embrace the primacy of concept, of idea, of perception in the creation of an illustrative statement. While the individual sections of each course may vary in method and emphasis, they share a single goal: to develop and deepen each student’s conceptual reach and grasp, and to en- list his or her unique imagination as the driving force in the solution to a broad spectrum of illustrative problems. They incorporate the premise that it matters little how well you speak if you have nothing to say.

c o u r s e d e s c r i p t i o n g a l l e r y ILLUS 5228 Advanced Painting Fritz Drury This course will build on the skills established in Sophomore Painting, while broadening the students’ understanding of options available to the painter. The primary work of the semester will be on individually directed projects, worked on both in and out of class. Overall, a goal of establishing a personal visual vocabulary of facture and image will be emphasized. Students will be encouraged to particularize their use of the painting medium and their approach to subject and statement through color, painterly touch, format, use of materials, drawing and compositional decisions, stylistic reference and implied narrative. The core medium of the class will be oil paint, but this may be augmented or extended by other media. The course will include group exercises designed to solidify a basic understanding of drawing, the use of the medium and the principles of color. Periodic outside assignments will extend this practice while emphasizing personal choice and expressive adjustment based on individual priorities. A flexible format for in-class work on personal projects will allow group interaction to coexist with individually directed work. The semester’s goal for each student will be to define a direction for future work in painting through a connected artistic investigation completed during the course.
