Illustration

Presentation

This postgraduate course in illustration intends to enable students to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for the creation and development of illustrations suitable for different contexts, such as children’s books, newspapers and magazines, environments and facilities, cultural events, among others.

At the end of the course, students should be able to:

  • recognise and know how to use different specific materials;
  • know how to draw ideas – how to communicate via drawing;
  • develop the use of both traditional and digital illustration techniques and resources;
  • realise how to illustrate according to different contexts;
  • develop autonomy, critical and creative awareness in the conception, execution and implementation of an illustration project.
