“IDES 133 Visual Studio provides an introduction to line, form, and light through an exploration of drawing and photography. Students develop skills in the use of drawing tools and a digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera. Principles of perception, observation, proportion, and perspective are covered through drawing and photography of man-made and natural objects, including the human figure.”
“A Blue Wonderland” by Tanner McMahon (IDEA Grad 2025)
This is a painting I've wanted to do for over 4 years. I tried once and couldn't get it right. So this is a meaningful piece to me as I didn’t think i was able to do it. A milestone in my creative ability. Gouache on water colour paper.

“IDES 131 Survey and Principles of Illustration I introduces students to the origins of illustration through an integration of history, theory, and practice. Lectures review notable artists and their work, and illuminate the influence of society on visual expression from the Renaissance until the mid-20th century. Applied projects are based on lecture content and related mediums and techniques, including principles of light, form, and colour.”
