The course follows a hands-on, idea-driven approach to visual storytelling. Students begin with observation exercises, sketching fundamentals, and ideation techniques before progressing to caricature, colouring, caption writing, and understanding how cartoons are prepared for publication. The programme also introduces the responsible and creative use of AI tools in cartooning, ensuring students remain current while preserving their individual artistic voice. What sets this course apart is its strong emphasis on thinking visually—helping students learn how to simplify complex ideas and communicate them effectively through humour, clarity, and creative expression.
