Complementing this basic orientation will be frequent demonstrations of materials and techniques commonly used by illustrators. By the end of the wintersession term, students will have gained an awareness of a few of the professional paths an illustrator may take, experimenting with a limited range of materials and techniques, and developed a sense of how to balance a practical imagemaking wth creative fulfilment.
