Student Capstones and Thesis Work

It was genuinely difficult to keep up with the staggering volume of galleries, exhibitions, original research and video presentations New Paltz students published at the end of the 2019-20 academic year. We'd like to take time this summer to spotlight individual projects and give this exceptional scholarship and creative work its due.

 

Today we're returning to the Art Education Program. The Class of 2020 documented their experiences transitioning to remote student teaching with expressive storyboards and other creative narratives. Their collected works can be viewed via this link.
