Illustration

Led by internationally renowned illustrator, photographer, and comic book colorist Jose Villarrubia, MICA's BFA in Illustration fosters an understanding of the dynamic field today and urges students to shape its future. It prepares students to create work with a personal voice that resonates with contemporary culture. The curriculum, combined with MICA's emphasis on liberal arts, prepares illustrators who are both visually and intellectually literate and technically adept, with an understanding of the history of the field-which is the history of all narrative art.

Meet Christina Kaputsos, Illustration Major

"Art, music, and writing have always gone hand in hand for me. Life me, my art is diverse. I love telling stories, performing, letting people's imaginations run rampant with a fever for the unknown and mystical. I work in so many mediums--paper, clay, 2D, 3D. Currently, I'm interested in puppet making, theater, and set design, pushing the limits of telling a story. MICA has allowed me to nuture all my interests and find a way to mesh them."
