Mokita 2: Illustration Symposium

mokita editsixe1

Mokita's second illustration forum will explore 'The Sentimental Gene' in illustration, covering themes of presence, function, validity, and the role of 'sentimentality' as a medium in illustration. Mokita is founded by Camberwell Press director Darryl Clifton, sparking discussion and educating our illustration theories with leading practitioner speakers.

The idea of sentimentality in visual language is often viewed negatively, whether through the cult of kawaii (cute), character art, greetings cards, folk art or nostalgia, fantasy art, souvenirs, kitsch and even Hello Kitty. Yet these are all deeply rooted within culture, and have mass visual appeal, with ‘retro’ and ‘folk’ particularly emerging as recurring themes in many contemporary illustrators’ work.

OVO - A discussion with Darryl Clifton and Adrian Shaughnessy

Different Ways to Say the Same Thing: Four cards from Bruno Munari's Immagini Della Realta, via Stopping off Place.  Intended for 3-6 year olds, the boxed edition of 40 cards of photographic images, plus 12 to draw on, was intended to learn about the different ways of representing objects.  Three different games can be played with the cards: The Words and Images game, The Misleading Images game, and The Classification game.

As the subject of illustration becomes ever more popular, the need to look at it with a critical eye becomes more important.  To accompany the 2011 Camberwell lllustration graduate show and publication, they wanted to generate an informative and intellectual discussion which matched their ambition and energy to meet the challenges that an image heavy world presents.  In that spirit of enquiry and broad engagement a number of burning questions on what their subject is, and what it can be, have been put to Adrian Shaughnessy, celebrated educator author and designer, and Darryl Clifton Design Programme Director at Camberwell College of Arts.
