Course Credit:  3

Senior Portfolio 1 is taken after the completion of all foundation, sophomore, and junior level classes. It’s is a directed studies course that provides, through faculty supervision, the time, opportunity, and advisement for each student to create the physical pieces that will become the core of their first working portfolio. The course is offered as a transition from the academic experience to a professional life as an illustrator. Through extensive research, students provide a written project proposal on a topic or theme of their choice to create a cohesive body of work. The progress of this work will be monitored through individual appointments between the student and Senior Portfolio faculty. Intensive group critiques are spaced throughout the term to allow for class interaction. All coursework is done inside the classroom and outside, independently. Pre-Requisite: IL001, completion of Junior level classes, senior status.
