Illustration
BFA in Illustration
Illustrators lend meaning to narrative. They illuminate ideas and bring characters and concepts to life. If you're a visual thinker who wants to contribute to the dialogue of our culture, you may have the makings of a professional illustrator. Our program teaches you to formulate visual information succinctly and imaginatively. You'll learn to present a concept using different styles and to develop your own style. Plus you'll leave Kendall with a comprehensive and marketable portfolio of your work.
Make a living AND make a difference.
Throughout human history, we've relied on illustration to be the universal language that spans the gaps between generations and cultures, between ancient times and modern. Illustrations bring a story to life, clarifying what's confusing, showing us how and why in a global language—no translation necessary.
