FaVU-1AutIlAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course is designed for students who have already been introduced to illustration and have a basic knowledge of pre-press preparation. Advanced knowledge of Adobe software is assumed. Students will learn about current trends in illustration through the work of contemporary international artists. Their work will be presented through practical examples of publications and zines produced mainly by Risograph or digital printing technologies. An important aspect is the development of students' individual projects within series or cycles. The emphasis is on long-term projects. During the semester, students will have the opportunity to consult the form of their projects in the Book Workshop of the FaVU BUT, where they will also be able to print and bind them at the end.The main goal of the course is to support the creative activity of students in the creation of low-cost original prints and publications, as well as assisting in their artistic development.
