Class Illustration

This curricular unit enables the acquisition and development of graphic and expressive vocabulary. It also allows to acquire and develop habits and practices of visual registration, namely through the creation and maintenance of a graphic diary as an object of project aid. Develop autonomy in the practice and investigation of illustration. Obtain knowledge in the context of the history of illustration and its
contemporary practice. Recognize the fields and fields of action of the illustration.

Books, periodic publications, posters and advertising artifacts support images that contribute to the interpretation of texts and concepts, which can both operate as autonomous visual signs in the construction of identities, as well as articulated with verbal elements. Thus, it is intended to understand and explore the various functions of illustration in the context of contemporary communication, making a conceptual and practical approach motivated by the exploration of themes that allow to approach the articulation between narrative elements and their positioning in the supports; the rhetoric of the image and the expression; and the creation of characters. According to this framework will be summoned examples from editorial projects for different audiences and narratives belonging to the historical body of the illustration. It is also intended to promote experimentation with drawing tools and techniques.
