2016 Senior Projects
Each spring, the Stamps studios are abuzz late into the night with seniors putting the finishing touches on their IP and Senior Capstone projects.
The culmination of year-long effort by individual students, these projects range from one-person performances to game designs to interactive sculptures. Before the work premiered to the public in a weekend of exhibition openings, screenings, and performances from April 14 - 16, 2016, we sat down with a few students to learn more.
