Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), founded in 1826, was the first art school in the United States to officially confer a degree. MICA is one of the oldest art schools in the United States and the oldest degree-granting art school, a member of the AICAD (Independent Association of Art and Design Colleges) and a member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. This article will share with you the works of a master's degree in illustration practice at the Maryland College of Art in the United States.

American illustrator Adam Lister graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2003. In the new series "Art History 101", he combines modern perspectives with classical memories from art history. In his work, pixel watercolor paintings are filled with his passion for digital graphics. From Michelangelo's "David" to Edward Hope's "Night Wanderer", the Art History 101 series reveals the secrets of color and shape in masterpieces in a new form. Adam's work demonstrates his ability to bring two worlds together, connecting this feeling of nostalgia with familiar works of art.

Adam Lister's pixel watercolor paintings, innovatively blending traditional watercolor techniques with the construction principles of modern geometry, make adjustments to the combination of light, perspective and line in the painting. In the finished work, Adam made the best demonstration, not only retaining the artistic characteristics of the original, but also adding his unique pixel style to it. This fusion of the two art forms is precisely the charm of his works.
