about the Illustration Thesis

The senior illustration thesis project is a rigorous process of self-reflection, experimentation, and refinement, producing a highly developed body of work based on a theme and its market application.

As a result, the exhibition becomes more than a showcase of each student’s dedication, talent, and hard work. It marks a celebration of their individual creative voice, professionalism, and refined sense of self as they embark on a new career.

Our students each create a promotional poster for the exhibition, and one is selected to promote the event. This year, Ari Santiago’s poster was chosen and can be seen on the left of this page.
