Wecome to Senior Studio

In this intensive studio course, students are guided through sustained research that culminates in a senior show during ART 412. With the approval of the Senior Studio faculty, sustained visual cultural research and the development of a body of work is executed. This work is self-directed and must demonstrate an increasingly high level of understanding of a professional work process and the resulting production. Through research, as well as written and spoken practice, students gain confidence and a voice to articulate visually and verbally as well as to contextualize their work in contemporary practice. Students research and write on the integration of faith and art.
