Achievement to Solutions to Improve the Educational Conditions of Master of Arts in Illustrations (Through Comparison between the Educational Program at Tehran University and the Academy of Art in San Francisco

The importance of Education and the role of pictures in its success is obvious in many scientific, cultural and advertising subjects which are being instructed through pictures and therefore can be memorable better. But the point is how to learn to create impressive pictures for the audience with an exclusive taste. Moreover, technology development and innovation of new tools require novel educational methods which are currently applied in higher education institutes all over the world. Studying these methods in order to be adapted to the Iranian art and culture could be led to some optimized consequences.
The leading research issue is the comparison between the University of San Francisco and Tehran University, since it seems that planning and offering the courses have been revised in the University of San Francisco and it is based on the technological development, but the educational planning and offering the courses in Tehran University, ratified in December, 1990, is still running. The aim of comparing these two educational systems is to result in a useful process of updating and modifying the educational planning of illustrations through the process of reforming and integrating the courses relevant with global developments.
The outcome of this research in spite of demonstrating the educational merits of both, indicates the necessity of interaction between Iranian art universities and the publishers, advertising companies, TV and computer game producers and animators as well as holding galleries of students’ works for more communication with the society .In the end it is recommended to increase the courses of specialized design and digital illustrations in order to preserve the merits and quality of the current system and improving the procedure of learning and training.
