2020 Senior Art Exhibition

This year’s Senior Art Exhibit – representing four years of students’ dedicated study of the visual arts – is now a virtual exhibit. Professor Alston Conley notes, “The students’ artworks are snapshots of creativity into their lives, and are the result of their problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and perseverance. Students created them in their Senior Projects course, a visual thesis project for Studio Art majors and minors. These courses assist students in developing a self-driven approach of personal inquiry and methodologies in their studio art practice.”

Says Professor Hartmut Austen, “I had the pleasure to work with a group of nineteen talented students who, over the past four months, prepared their final works for their Studio Art Minor Thesis. Varied in ideas, media and expression, they are pointed snapshots into the lives of young student artists that were upended when – in light of the current pandemic – studios, tools and technical support were unavailable. Left to their own problem-solving skills, they created a remarkable variety of works of which this exhibition can only present a glimpse. I encourage you to also visit the students’ individual websites that complement this virtual exhibition.”
