illustration
Illustration majors in one class were asked to write and illustrate a piece of creative nonfiction and then swap texts and illustrate each other’s work. The exercise is typical of one of MECA’s newest programs,where collaboration, drawing, and story-telling are emphasized. But illustration majors are not restricted to pen-and-ink and narration; they aren’t all planning on writing graphic novels or illustrating children’s books. They may choose a more conceptual or representational focus in their work, and explore paint, clay, animation, computer design, collage, scratchboard, found objects, etc.—whatever it takes to tell the story and develop a personal style and vision.
