The Senior Capstone Paper
The Capstone paper, a graduation requirement included in Senior Studio, is a researched essay in which you’ll reflect on your own work in the context of contemporary and historical artistic and cultural movements. You’ll discover and analyze the artists and works that have influenced you, and consider how you fit with or depart from these influences. Think about your aesthetics, artistic objectives, and studio methods. How are you part of a broader artistic evolution in a particular medium, time period, or movement?
The Academic Support Center works with New Hampshire Institute of Art seniors to help make the Capstone experience as meaningful as possible, providing guidance throughout the process. Seniors who invest themselves in writing strong Capstone papers report that doing so helps to inform their senior projects, and offers insights they are able to use in discussions of their art that extend beyond graduation.
