The International School of Illustration promotes distance learning with courses in drawing, artistic techniques, illustrated book design, writing, and the history of illustration.
The online program aims to meet the educational needs of both those who wish to approach the world of illustration for the first time and those who feel the need to grow artistically and explore new expressive possibilities. The teaching approach remains grounded in the value of education as an artistic experience.
Duration Online illustration courses consist of a total workload of between 12 and 18 hours. Each lesson has a maximum duration of 3 hours, comprising a theoretical part, a practical part, followed by an open discussion about the work produced.
Courses are scheduled continuously throughout the year.
Contact with the Instructor Between lessons, participants continue to work, maintaining contact with the instructor via email or WhatsApp. During the course period, the instructor can answer questions, view photos of work in progress, and provide advice and suggestions even outside lesson hours.
Available Places Online courses are open to a limited number of participants for pedagogical reasons, allowing the instructor to focus on the needs of each individual student.
Delivery Method Courses are held exclusively in synchronous mode (live streaming) on the Zoom platform. Lessons are delivered remotely live, are not recorded, and cannot be recorded by third parties.
