An illustration is an art form that creates interest, communicates visually, and helps a viewer or reader interpret the subject better. It is an art to add visual interest to a story, poem, legend, or historical narrative. Since millennia, illustrations have enhanced and added emotion, expression, and imaginative wonder. With early examples of rock art images that continue to inspire artists, we find innumerable sources of exemplary art in manuscripts, books, and monuments across the world that provide a rich source of illustrative imagery. The portrayal being individual at times or collective.
Illustrative art continues to hold the attention of a reader or viewer having retained its value of both technique and artistry. In modern times, illustrations are an integral part of newspapers, magazines, other print media, films, and web content. It has evolved, often establishing an identity that is unique to the individual rendering and style of an artist.
The panel discussion would deliberate upon the experiential process and artistic journey of each participant artist, types of creative illustration, limitations and advantages of the digital medium, the recognition of illustrations as art forms and delve into the probable impact of Alternative Intelligence.
