Through extensive research of critical issues, historical precedents and contemporary explorations, students collect, analyze and reflect on their findings and develop the early stages of a comprehensive illustration project that continues into the winter semester. Ongoing individual discussions, group critiques and lectures assist in the progress of the project while students meet firm deadlines established early in the course.
