The course title is BA (hons) in Animation and Illustration.
Include your name as per your CAO application on all work that you submit. Animations should be uploaded to YouTube and a link should be emailed to before the submission date. They can be further developed with colour, tone and texture. Take your time to observe and work into these pieces. Include longer studies of humans, animals, objects or landscapes rather than quick sketches. Try to have a variety of work in this section of your portfolio. These pieces are your main portfolio of completed work outside of your sketchbook. Visual exploration and doodling is what your sketchbooks are for! Show us what interests you and what inspires you to make the work you make from the world around you. Your sketchbooks can include visual development, concepts and ideas that you have been working on. Your storyboards can show an idea for a short film or advertisement using any style or medium you like to work in. Please fix the pages together in sequence and clearly label and number them. Storyboards, comic panels and poster design can be included. You can include photographic work, as well as photographs of clay, collage, mixed media, stop motion models/sets and photographs of large pieces of artwork that you cannot fit into the portfolio itself. These are best submitted withinĪ sketchbook. These can be quick sketches capturing movement and gestures. Your sketchbook should include a large amount of observational studies of both humans and animals. Applicants who have additional sketchbooks may submit up to 5 sketchbooks in total if they wish. What to include in your portfolioĪpplicants must submit one completed sketchbook.
All work must be your own original artwork. Curate your portfolio leaving our portfolio assessors with the impression that you have a passion for drawing and an interest in making things move. You are advised to choose only their best artwork. You should demonstrate a high level of draughtsmanship, creativity, and experimentation through a wide range of media including, but not limited to, pencil, paint, mixed-media, photography, animated experiments. Your portfolio should reflect your enthusiasm for studying within the artistic areas of animation and illustration. In this podcast, lecturer Yvonne Hennessy discusses the BA (Hons) in Animation and Illustration, including portfolio requirements and the types of materials that should be used. Solid analytical and IT-related skills, as well as high levels of critical reasoning through the twin emphasis of both animation and illustration, are vital to creating strong, visually appealing and imaginative artwork. Our students develop the capacity for independent learning as well as producing work collaboratively. Graduates of the BA (hons) in Animation and Illustration will have the capacity to apply their knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of illustration and principles of animation to a broad range of areas within the animation and illustration sector in Ireland and internationally. This programme is unique to the midlands campus as no other educational provider offers a programme combining both animation and illustration at undergraduate or postgraduate level in Ireland.
