Class Illustration II

  • Presentation

    Presentation

    UC Illustration II is about the ability of images to show stories when texts are missing. The intention is to know how to illustrate without using words. This challenge allows students to understand the power of images and the power of illustration in the creative industries. For this understanding, the exercises allow to create situations where the students' illustrations circulate outside the classroom context, through their integration in Projects and actions of relationship with the community inside and outside the academic context.

  • Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    In this CU there are 3 exercises with their own approaches and objectives:

    The 1st exercise is a group exercise (with Tourism students). From a guided tour conducted by the teacher, visual photographic information and factual information about the heritage visited is collected. The visual arts students are accompanied in the UC to develop the illustrations for a new book with a documentary and tourist vocation.

    In the 2nd exercise, students choose one of the proposed themes and form two groups. Each student must propose their illustrations after a collective debate on what humanism can be or what a place can be trying to get out of stereotyped images.

    In the 3rd exercise, the ecphrastic method is applied to create a set of illustrations that are a visual narrative.

    All monitoring is tutorial and carried out in the classroom, with collective debate on the work done, hetero and self-evaluation.

    Examples are presented according to the objectives that each student must achieve.
