Introduction

Please click here to see general Visual Arts information.

The illustration minor is designed for students interested in broadening their visual communication skills and obtaining an introductory understanding of what is involved in the production of client-driven visual work. Undergraduates explore digital as well as hand-produced techniques and gain a basis for combining the two in a seamless manner in rendered illustrative works. This minor allows students to complement their major area of study with professionally effective visual communication skills.
