This site aspires to be a part of the Marist Art Department site. Its purpose is to showcase the work of the students in both the digital media program and the studio arts program. It also seeks to introduce prospective students and employers to the innovative work being done by Marist students.

This site is a senior thesis project.

ART 478
Senior Thesis: Portfolio
Three Credits
Students will work independently in an area of studio art or digital media of their choice. Those students enrolled in Senior Thesis will meet for a normally scheduled class session once each week for general critique and review, and with their faculty advisors separately for additional review. Their goals will be to sharpen the skill required by the area they have chosen and to produce a final thesis project worthy of professional portfolio or performance standards. Senior Thesis will bring each student’s work to a new level of technical and aesthetic proficiency in preparation for the assembly of a final graduation portfolio. Offered every fall.
Prerequisite: Senior standing

The senior thesis project involves a process of anonymously giving feedback by students to other students at various points in the projects conception and implementation. Here are some of my favorites:

Suggestions! None A++++
Will there be something like an “about the steel plant” section?
Alumni? Where are people now?
Assume people don’t have top line computers.
Keep this design! Rawr!
Don’t wait for permission to use your creativity.
New design = better
There are a lot of ideas in your site – I’d try to simplify and stick to one style so it’s user-friendly.
Commit to doing this idea and make it so good Marist will have to accept it
Woo lightbox
Like the gallery picture w/ ghost ppl
Would you take comic book pages?
Might want to make IBM logos disappear if this goes live.
I promise I will forget your stuff this week.
