The course aims to study the processes behind image creation and narration. Getting to know illustration also means engaging in personal aesthetic reflection. The student is guided from the first phase of the creative process, when the idea is born and the need arises to construct a concept and represent it in a visual figuration, through to the development of his or her own narrative through characters. Metaphors, figuration, imagination and thoughts accompany the pupil through the discovery of illustration.
