Multidisciplinary Illustration Project II

Drawing
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    This curricular unit aims to improve technical and expressive skills in scientific and conceptual illustration, promoting the construction of a unique visual language and the integration of critical, reflective and communicational skills in the development of authorial projects.  
  • ProgramaProgramme
    Deepening experimentation with specific techniques and methods in scientific illustration; Introduction to techniques and methods relevant to conceptual illustration, aimed at the autonomous development of ideas and themes by students, emphasizing composition principles such as contrast, focal point, and cohesion. Critical analysis of works by established illustrators, exemplifying a variety of approaches and illustration techniques, with the aim of fostering the creation of an authorial identity by the students. Planning, research, and execution of an independent project in scientific illustration focusing on technical innovation and narrative rhythm. The preparation of an explanatory text will be a component of this project; Planning and execution of an independent project in conceptual illustration with a final oral presentation; Maintenance and final presentation of a graphic diary, record of the creative and investigative process throughout the semester.
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    This course unit aims to serve as an advanced continuation of "Multidisciplinary Illustration Project I." Its objectives are: . Consolidate and expand techniques in Scientific Illustration, aiming to deepen rigor and precision in visual representation; . Introduce and develop competencies in Conceptual Illustration, enabling students to explore abstract or metaphorical themes; . Stimulate an authorial attitude, encouraging students to fortify a unique personal style; . Develop advanced skills in diverse illustration techniques, ranging from digital to watercolor and mixed media; . Enhance visual composition abilities, focusing on principles such as balance, contrast, and proportion; . Foster a reflective and investigative practice, materialized through the maintenance of a graphical journal and oral presentations; . Cultivate the capacity to articulate issues, themes, and concepts from creative fields, thereby solidifying a critical and self-reflective discourse.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
      The teaching and learning methodology for this course unit is designed to be both theoretical and practical, in alignment with the intended learning outcomes. Particular emphasis will be placed on illustration practice, where students will have the opportunity to apply and experiment with a range of techniques, from digital illustration to more traditional methods such as watercolor and painting.  To ensure the practical application of theoretical concepts, students will develop independent projects in scientific and conceptual illustration. These projects will be closely supervised by the instructors, who will provide ongoing feedback, allowing students to revise and refine their work. Each project will also include a written component: an explanatory text in the case of the scientific illustration project, and an oral presentation for the conceptual illustration project, encouraging students to clearly articulate their creative processes and technical decisions.
