Senior Honors Project in Studio Art in Spring 2021

We are proud to present the Senior Honors projects for Spring 2021. Students who complete Honors Projects engage in research and artistic creation, which culminates in a written thesis statement and an exhibition of their work. The students who have undertaken the Senior Honors project are exemplary both artistically and academically. They have committed to planning and creating a substantial body of work under the mentorship of a faculty member during their senior year.
These projects often reach across disciplines to expand the conversation on a wide range of themes and issues. Students use this opportunity to challenge themselves with their ideas, techniques, and professionalism in installing their work in a public space for exhibition. The written component of the project gives the artist an opportunity to distill their ideas, articulating the themes they explore in their visual work. This year, project media include printmaking, painting, and mixed media. Honors Project themes include personal reflections on cultural traditions and familial relationships, emotional responses to the isolation of the pandemic, landscape and nature, and visual interpretation and responses to poetry.
