Senior Honors Project in Studio Art and Art History – Spring 2022

We are proud to present the Senior Honors projects. Students who complete Honors Projects engage in research and artistic creation, culminating in a written thesis statement and an exhibition of their artwork. 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 and articulate the themes they are exploring in their visual work.

Project media includes drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, digital media, and installation. This semester’s Honors Projects encompass a wide range of themes including personal perspectives on religion, the fluidity of self-identity, the physical and emotional journey of a gender transition experience, personal memories related to connections with the sea, overcoming emotional disconnection, imaginative fiction and fantasy character development, and poster designs.
