    The course develops technical and creative skills in scientific and book illustration, combining rigor, creativity, and critical reflection through the application of various techniques and research methods.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    Introduction to the specificities and thematic scope of both scientific illustration and book illustration; Exploration of various illustration techniques, including digital, watercolor, painting, and mixed media; Critical analysis and discussion of works by illustrators to promote the definition of students' authorial voice; Study of composition principles in illustration, encompassing concepts such as balance, proportion and framing; Guidance on research methods applicable to the development of illustration projects; Planning, research, and execution of an independent project in scientific illustration, with a focus on maintaining rigor and accuracy. The preparation of an explanatory text will be a component of this project; Planning and execution of a independent book illustration project, focusing on the composition of text and image; Maintenance and final presentation of a graphic diary, record of the creative and investigative process throughout.
  • ObjectivosObjectives
      . To develop specialized competencies in two distinct domains of illustration: scientific illustration and book illustration; . To equip students for the application of various illustration techniques, including digital, watercolor, painting, and mixed media, while maintaining the scientific rigor applicable in the field of scientific illustration; . To stimulate an authorial attitude, encouraging students to develop a unique personal style; . To foster the ability to articulate issues, themes, and concepts from creative fields, consolidating a critical and self-reflective discourse; . To promote the application of compositional principles in the creation of illustrations, including aspects such as balance, proportion and framing; . To introduce research methods that culminate in the production of explanatory texts attached to the works; . To encourage the maintenance of a sketchbook as a form of graphic documentation of the creative process.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
     The teaching-learning process in this course unit adopts a theoretical-practical approach. Examples and exercises will be presented aimed at the practical application of concepts and techniques and the theoretical and practical understanding of students in illustration. This will foster the exploration and application of various illustration techniques in specific contexts. Group discussions and critical analyses of works by illustrators serve as platforms for the development of an authorial voice and a critical, self-reflective discourse. These moments also offer opportunities for students to articulate their ideas, receive feedback from peers and the instructor, and adjust their approaches accordingly. These projects will be supported by specific research methods, culminating in the production of an explanatory text that integrates and complements the work of a scientific nature. The sketchbook will function as both a pedagogical and evaluative instrument.
