PEER LEARNING

TEAMS Students in the Illustration Practice program select a team through which they can contribute to peer learning and research. They are asked to stay on the team for one year.

The Gallery Team plans, curates, and mounts a series of shows for the ILP Gallery. Work for the shows come from program as well as invitational projects. The wall scheme includes a marquee wall that uses typography and writing to give context to the show.
