Art History Honors Student Research Symposium

Five art history undergraduates–Kara Barbara Suddock, Morrow Jane Woods, Arielle Ava Ross, Theresa Anne Maloney, and Elizabeth Hannah Meyers–have completed their honors requirements. They will present papers based on their original research in the Annual Art History Honors Student Research Symposium, which takes place from 4:30-6pm on Thursday, 14 April 2011, in room 317 of the Art Building. Topics will include an examination of the archaeological history of Indian stupas, the innovations of Ludovico Carracci as an early Baroque artist, and the influence of Zen calligraphy on the logogrammes of Belgian artist Christian Dotremont. A reception will follow in the Jacob Lawrence Gallery.

In order to qualify for honors in art history, these students have maintained a minimum 3.50 GPA in art history course work, worked closely with faculty to develop original research topics, completed two 20-page research papers, and participated in a graduate student seminar.
