Senior Honors Project in Studio Art and Art History – Fall 2021

We are proud to present the Senior Honors projects. 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. In Studio Art, 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 include painting, photography, video, installation, stained glass work, and printmaking. Honors Project themes include personal reflections on cultural traditions and familial relationships, personal growth, environmental concerns, and reflections and responses to current social and political issues.

Art History Senior Honors Projects focus on research with a written thesis. This semester the titles of the research projects are: “St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral and National Imaginaries” and “Defying the Lines of Painting: What is The Death of Marat?”
