UT Downtown Gallery: Senior Capstone Exhibition

Category: Exhibitions, visual art

EXHIBITION DATES
November 27 - November 30, 2012

RECEPTION
Friday, November 30, 2012
6-9pm

The Capstone course is a requirement for all BFA Studio Art majors. Students take Capstone in the final semester of their BFA degree. During Capstone students engage in a self-initiated research project to demonstrate that a graduating senior has learned and can practice the skills and concepts of a chosen concentration (2D, 3D, 4D). The Capstone also demonstrates the student's ability to intellectualize and articulate issues and ideas about contemporary art. Successful completion of the Capstone course is a requirement of graduation.

The UT Downtown Gallery is excited to present the work of 5 graduating seniors in this year's capstone exhibition: Sarah Crumley, Bill Warden, Kayla Courtoy, Catherine Widner and David Holland.

GALLERY HOURS
Wed - Fri 11-6PM, Sat 10-3PM

For additional information on this exhibition, please call the UT Downtown Gallery at 865.673.0802 or visit us online at http://web.utk.edu/~downtown.
