Illustration

Welcome to AccessArt: Illustration

CKJabberwock - Ellie Somerset

Illustration is a form of visual communication used to interpret and represent narratives or concepts. It is a versatile discipline that can be used across printed materials, such as books and newspapers, to either complement or replace text.

It can also be used for decorative purposes across other art forms, such as surface design or ceramics. 

Whoever you are and whichever audiences you work with, we hope you’ll enjoy exploring where narrative and art meet in the Illustration section of AccessArt.
