Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS) in
Illustration
The students and faculty in the illustration program work together to create original and exciting work that fulfills a specific assignment and is marketable. Using tools running from the pencil to the computer, the illustration major includes everything the artist needs to achieve technical and artistic excellence.
Our illustration faculty is comprised of some of New York’s finest commercial and fine artists, intensely interested in student’s artistic and professional development. To enhance this interest, Pratt’s classes are small, allowing for increased student-faculty contact.
Objectives of the Associate Degree program in Illustration are:
• to link the traditional concepts of illustration with the latest in computer technology;
• to expose the student to the range of media available to the professional illustrator;
• to offer the student a full experience in illustration education, including editorial, advertising, paperback, entertainment (movies, theater and television), and fashion illustration, and to provide the tools necessary to build on that experience to enable the student to develop a marketable illustration portfolio.
