Students are instructed to draw from their observations and collections to craft a tale that makes the audience think through enchantment and impacts them, using key elements like context, content, stance, and metaphor. Possible formats mentioned include a book with combined text and images, a sequential series of images, or a time-based moving image narrative.
Amanda Sue Rope's Lecture for Cardiff IllustrationCSADillo
This document outlines a workshop for students to practice visual communication skills for print advertising campaigns. Students will select a brand slogan and target audience, develop ideas, and create rough concept sketches applying their idea across different print formats. The workshop includes brief introductions, research, ideation, sketching, and group discussions. The goal is for students to improve at visualizing ideas for specific audiences and formats through an iterative sketching process.
This project provides the ingredients for a six image narrative including a painting that will provide the color palette and some of the content, while a story works with the painting to catalyze and bring the narrative to life by setting its tone and accelerating the story.
This document summarizes the Graduate Incubation Studio at Cardiff School of Art & Design, which provides a 12-month business startup space for recent CSAD graduates. For £1000, accepted applicants receive a dedicated studio space, access to CSAD resources and mentoring, and the opportunity to develop their business plan and launch their practice. Eligible applicants must be UK/EU CSAD graduates with a business idea to develop. The incubation studio allows graduates a safe place to take risks, access to mentors and facilities, and culminates in a business launch event after 12 months.
This document provides guidance for students to create a commonplace book over the summer break. It instructs students to use the book to bring together thoughts, ideas, drawings, and objects of interest in an analytical, diary-style format. The commonplace book will help students discover and develop their unique artistic voice and stance. It should be professionally compiled and catalogued. Students are prompted to question what they are looking at and why, and how to record this information. The goal is for the book to become a resource for future narrative and drawing projects and help students' work begin to "speak ventrilloquillistically."

Careers mentioned include color trend forecasting, styling, retail display, buying, illustration, stationery design, surface pattern design, teaching, and design consultancy.
This document discusses sustainable product design. It provides examples of MP3 players and phones to show how design has changed over time. It emphasizes that designers should create products that are 98% recyclable and can be manufactured and assembled in a clean, efficient manner. The document also stresses that products should be designed for disassembly, recycling, and to use low impact, sustainable materials to reduce environmental impact and promote longer product lifetimes.
This document discusses illustration in the field of literature. It notes that John Tenniel was the illustrator for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865. It also mentions a collage by Laura Wilson from 2012 and a work titled Hemispheres by Chris Glynn from the same year. The document appears to highlight different illustrators and their works that accompanied or were inspired by literature.
Graphic communication uses visual elements like images, symbols, and text to convey meaning and messages to inform, persuade, inspire, and provoke audiences. It leaves behind artifacts for humans to communicate with each other, as seen in the Storehagen Atrium in Norway designed by Ralston & Bau. Resources are provided to learn more about graphic design through websites on communication systems analysis and design, graphic communication blogs, Facebook, and videos explaining what graphic design entails.

The document discusses a lecture on understanding critical practices in art and design. The lecture aims to explore critical practice as a way to identify and challenge assumptions in order to evolve art/design and enrich experiences. It will consider specific works and how a more nuanced understanding of criticality can emerge. There will likely be more questions than answers as the goal is to get the audience to question their understanding rather than provide definitive answers.
Constellation Keynote - Dr Jonathan ClarksonCSADillo
This document discusses techniques of post-perspective art including: 1) The multiplication of views and viewpoints using examples from artists like Clive Head and Franz Ackermann; 2) Adopting a non-human viewpoint shown in works by Therese Oulton and Andreas Gefeller; 3) Doubling and repetition exemplified by Gerhard Richter and Vija Celmins; and 4) Historical perspectives or perspectives on perspective seen in the portraits of Hiroshi Sugimoto that reference earlier works like Rembrandt's self-portrait.
This document discusses the concepts of the literal and phenomenal in art and design. It provides definitions of literal as true to fact without exaggeration, and phenomenal relating to the philosophical study of subjective experience. The document explores how these concepts connect to art and design through changing perceptions and narratives, and references philosophers like Kant, Husserl, Arnheim and Heidegger. It examines how the literal and phenomenal may interconnect and influence each other through examples like visual art and poetry.
This document explores the shift from representations of nerds to geeks in popular culture and the implications for masculinity. It discusses how masculinity was traditionally embodied through physical strength and confidence but is now also represented through expertise in science and technology. Popular culture examples like Die Hard and The Big Bang Theory show how male power and identity have shifted from the physical body to the mind through an emphasis on technical skills. This reflects the growing cultural significance of science, technology, and the digital world.
The document discusses various techniques for handling history, 'isms', and texts including recognizing that all histories are constructed narratives, examining different artistic movements through representative artworks, and conducting close readings of texts through techniques like identifying unfamiliar words, highlighting keywords, paraphrasing sentences, and summarizing the overall meaning in one sentence.
Berger draws upon Magritte's painting The Key to Dreams to make a point about the relationship between words and images. He says that there is always a gap between them, and that how we see things is affected by what we know or have seen. As an example, he notes that in the Middle Ages when people believed in the physical existence of hell, the sight of fire must have meant something different than it does today. Berger is highlighting how our interpretations of visual images depend on social and historical context, and are shaped by "learnt assumptions".
This document provides guidance on analyzing critical texts by outlining the key elements to examine, including the overall argument, language used, and evaluating claims. It discusses analyzing Clement Greenberg's 1952 review of Jackson Pollock by identifying Greenberg's argument, evidence presented, and persuasive language. Students are then tasked to read and analyze another writing on Pollock in small groups, considering the author's position and strengths of the argument and evidence.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
The document discusses the evolution of learning resources over time from books and black-and-white television in the 1950s to modern digital resources. It describes how books in the 1950s mostly had black-and-white illustrations inside and color was limited. Television was also black-and-white and on small screens. The document then outlines the transition to audio-visual aids in schools in the 1960s, slide libraries in universities in the 1970s, and the growing digitization of resources with the internet, databases, e-books, and multimedia sites.
The document provides instructions for a creative writing project. Students are given three starting points - an adjective, a painting, and a quotation. They must use these to tell a narrative story in the form of an 8-page book or short film. The adjective is meant to set the tone for the story. Tutorials will be held on October 4th and 11th to discuss progress, with the final project due on October 18th for critique.
This document provides guidance for students on developing a commonplace book over the summer as part of a Drawing Methodologies course. Students are instructed to create their own traditional book format commonplace book to bring together thoughts, ideas, drawings, and objects of interest in an analytical, diary-style format. The goal is for students to develop their unique aesthetic perspective and voice as an illustrator. Students are provided questions to ask themselves to aid discovery and analysis of what they observe. Upon returning, instructors expect to see students' commonplace books demonstrating a professional, meticulous categorization of their work, research, and observations.
The document discusses the role and power of illustrators as storytellers. It states that unlike journalists or photographers, illustrators can empathize with and understand different perspectives of a situation. Illustrators can convey the "plight" or difficulties of others in a way that connects with people on a human level through visual storytelling. The document encourages using these storytelling abilities in illustration to shed light on difficult or unpleasant topics that are often conveyed through statistics or journalism in a way that helps people understand and engage with important issues.
