Comics and Illustration for Children
Studio head: MgA. Marie Kohoutová
Assistant: MgA. Eva Hudečková
The studio in its current form was founded in 2011, covering all comic genres. In the Master’s programme, the students go on to work on game and web comics and on projects featuring animation. The curriculum encompasses also a semester course dedicated to storyboarding. Another major area of the studio’s focus is illustration, primarily aiming at children and the youth. The courses cover, among other things, creative writing (taught by the author Dana Emingerová) and the creation of 3D objects (toys, games, figures, puppets and everything else that fascinates children and amuses grown-ups). The Book section includes the production of pop-up books – a discipline that is very popular with our students. In the Master’s degree programme, we create pop-up books for adults. Cooperating with the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen in the past years, we have started working with motion illustration, which we use for our comics. Our studio takes part in competitions and cooperates with commercial clients.
