In the second half, students will substantially rework a paper written for a past course, with the aim of significantly improving its quality through the application of enhanced research and writing skills. Students will also develop a proposal for a paper to be written in the fall semester of the senior year; that paper will be the Senior Capstone project and will be presented orally to the art history faculty and students.
