Class Illustration III

This course focuses on the illustration of texts, exploring possible relationships between verbal and visual narratives.

Not applicable

EXERCISE from LITERATURE to IMAGE. Reading and analysis of selected stories. Elaboration of series of images to illustrate each story. To conceive a way of showing the relation between the text and the illustrations, either through an artist's book or a certain expositive montage.

The syllabus is developed in two exercises that are monitored by the professor and preceded by theoretical introductions and practical demonstrations. Exercises are carried out in class, without prejudice to students doing homework and researching and collecting information outside of school hours. Two illustration projects consolidate the acquired knowledge. The final grade expresses criteria of attendance and punctuality, as well as fulfillment of the objectives of the discipline. Assessment takes place in three ways: continuous (mandatory attendance at 75% of classes); intermediate, for the first exercise, and final, focusing on the second exercise and remaining work of the semester. For each project there is criticism and self-criticism in the analysis of the results. The final evaluation results from the assessment of the exercises (50% + 50%).
