RESEARCH PROJECTS WERE UNDERTAKEN IN 2014

CONSIDER THESE RECENT PROJECTS:

“The Journey: An Exploration in Self-Portraits” by Anna Brenner ‘15, fine arts

Following the theory that every artist’s work is a self-portrait, Brenner repli- cated the same image 100 times through various mediums. “The photograph is of an egg. The egg is a symbol, not only of who I am as an artist, but also who I am as a woman. My emotions, thought processes and personality are preserved in my art.”

“The Ecology of Middleton Place: An Old Garden’s Contribution to the New State of Horticulture” Brandon Grate ’15, mass communication

“I felt like it was a great opportunity for me and to showcase the mass com- munication department, especially because I was showcasing work so differ- ent from what many might think comes out of the department.”

“The Kundiman” Alexis Croy, music performance

“Being Filipino, I wanted to pick something that was not only different from the Eurocentric point of view, but also a part of me,” Croy said of her work exploring the influence of Asian music on classical music.

Watch students discuss their undergraduate research experiences and learn why they encourage others to participate.
