Master of Fine Arts in Illustration Visual Thesis Exhibition
Gallery FIT
June 6 – July 3, 2015
Students in the Master of Fine Arts in Illustration program develop their studio practice in drawing, painting, and digital media—and the integration of all three. Through a focus on studio practice along with classes on creative writing and research, students gain a broad perspective on the illustrators role across different media. Students work in a range of areas, such as animation, concept art, children's books, graphic novels, murals, and reportage. The program culminates in an annual visual thesis exhibition, on view in Gallery FIT.Exit Lines. An ending to a beginning. Like the exit line spoken by an actor as he leaves the stage, this exhibition represented the close of our own performance at FIT, and the start of a new act.
