ARTS 401 Capstone Studio

In this course students develop a capstone studio project guided by a faculty mentor to establish a sustainable studio practice beyond graduation. Taught in preparation for the Capstone Seminar course, students will learn the physical aspects of presenting their work for exhibition while addressing contemporary issues in art. The course project will be reflected upon through individual and group critique, and may include outside art professionals as guest critics. This course is required for all Studio Arts majors and should be executed in the student's final year of study.
