EDUCATION OF AN ILLUSTRATOR, THE

Editors Steven Heller and Marshall Arisman have assembled thirty leading practitioners and thinkers of the illustration and graphic design fields in this first-ever blueprint for teaching and practicing the dynamic art and craft of illustration. This compelling collection of essays, interviews, and course syllabi provides readers with first-hand accounts from various professionals and educators who discuss how they acquired their knowledge of illustration and have successfully translated it into their careers. Part manifesto, part instruction manual, this revolutionary blend of knowledge and practice provides students, teachers, and practitioners alike with an indispensable resource on the teaching and usage of illustration today. Included are twenty-five cutting-edge essays; interviews with Milton Glaser and Thomas Woodruff addressing both the concept of holism and the interconnection between fine arts and illustration; and a diverse and stimulating selection of course syllabi and curricula designed for both undergraduate and graduate students.
