Graphic Storytelling in Brussels

Academic Bachelor / Specialization / Exchange Programme

When choosing the Graphic Storytelling programme, you'll learn to develop your graphic and narrative skills with a great emphasis on drawing and how to develop your unique style.

Curriculum

In the Graphic Storytelling program, students learn to develop their graphic and narrative skills. The various studio-based classes of Illustration, Drawing and Sequential Art all teach technical aspects of drawing and new technologies for diverse media, both for print and digital media. Students are trained in various storytelling techniques and creative writing.

Programme for exchange students: Our international Autumn semester is dedicated to both fiction and non fiction. Students choose illustration or sequential techniques, and focus on learning to work with narratives — using existing stories and/or writing personal ones. The weekly schedule also includes drawing classes and elective courses.

During our international Spring semester, students work on editorial illustration, the movement of characters, and developing a narrative concept into a multiple page publication. The weekly schedule also includes drawing and Contemporary Media classes, and short workshops on e.g. bookbinding or printing techniques.

At LUCA we attach great importance to the quality of our courses

If the basic principle of the policy plan means that 'quality is our driving force', and that every aspect of the policy can be tested against this, then LUCA undeniably wants to develop and nurture a strong quality culture: a culture that leaves based on trust in people with talent and expertise, and which is aimed at valuing, inspiring and improving.

The formal quality framework for training within LUCA was named KOPERA, which stands for: Critically Analyzing the Quality of Training with Peers in Own Direction.
For KOPERA, LUCA starts from a vision of quality care that is based on trust and aimed at valuing, inspiring and improving.

During the six-year KOPERA cycle, each training course receives a panel of critical friends who examine the implementation of the quality characteristics and examine how the training contributes to the general LUCA policy.
The final element of KOPERA is the ultimate assurance of training quality. The key question is: "Does the program have a good quality culture that follows the 'plan-do-check-act' circle?"

LUCA publishes a quality sheet for each course. You can find this on the Education Quality page.
