Seneca’s Independent Illustration Diploma is excited to present its 7th Art Exhibition, featuring a small cohort of graduating students. Seneca College’s Independent Illustration program produces an amazing array of talented artists in both digital and traditional mediums. These skills, combined with the entrepreneurial business knowledge gained in the program, produce individuals who are ready for immediate work in any aspect of the illustration world.

Please join us on Dec 11th from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Creative Blueprint for an evening of celebration. Again, Aboveground Art Supplies is generously sponsoring the top prize and will be awarded during the evening. Come meet the artists, view outstanding work and enjoy some refreshments.

The Illustration Diploma offered within the School of Creative Arts and Animation at Seneca College is unique in the province. A four semester diploma combines traditional illustrative media, digital media and business skills to give the independent artist the skills necessary to succeed in the rapidly changing world of illustration. In addition to learning about traditional art forms such as drawing, painting, mixed media, printmaking, sculpture and digital media, students will create and register their own small business, have a working website, and have the accounting, marketing and revenue generating skills to succeed as entrepreneurial artists. Graduates go on to work in children’s and comic book illustration, spot and advertising illustration and the burgeoning industry of concept art for TV, film and game animation.

The School of Creative Arts and Animation, part of the Faculty of Communication, Arts and Design, is located at the Seneca@York campus on York University. With campuses across the Greater Toronto Area, Seneca College offers degrees, diplomas and certificates renowned for their quality and respected by employers. Combining the highest academic standards with practical, hands-on learning, expert teaching faculty and the latest technology ensures Seneca graduates are career-ready. Seneca’s Faculty of Communication, Arts and Design is a recognized leader in education for a comprehensive range of fields including animation, graphic design, illustration, photography, music & performance, documentary filmmaking, media, fashion, and event production.
