In this second semester of the two-part capstone sequence, you will bring your thesis exhibition, paper, and portfolio to full realization. This phase focuses on finalizing your project through in-depth critiques, individual meetings, ongoing revisions to your written thesis, and a final public presentation in a gallery setting. You will complete a large-scale project that reflects your personal vision, supported by a thesis paper. The class is divided into two parts: the first half is a seminar where you will present and discuss your work, writing process, and exhibition planning, while the second half consists of individual meetings with two faculty members who will guide you through the final stages of your project. As you prepare for your public presentation, you will continue to deepen your creative practice, sharpen your critical thinking, and develop the language needed to speak clearly and confidently about your work. Alongside your thesis, you will take part in field trips, complete additional writing assignments, and participate in a Portfolio Review with professionals in the field. This course supports your transition from undergraduate studies to professional practice, helping you refine a substantial body of work and the critical and professional skills to sustain your artistic career.
