The choices available to Studio Art students allow for interdisciplinary coursework and projects. These choices can manifest in the intersection of visual arts with film, poetry, interactive design or music. For students interested in pursuing courses not offered by Endicott College, Studio Art students may take selected courses from nearby Montserrat College of Art. Senior Thesis projects by Studio Art students have included an investigation of semiotics and puppetry, the relationship between Jazz music and American painting, exhibition design in art museums, and the psychology of color. Recently, Studio Art students completed Internships at; Addison Gallery of American Art, Art Space Inc., The Parrish Art Museum, Granby Public Schools, Peabody Essex Museum, Laconia High School, and the Society of Arts and Crafts of Boston. | Sarah Chamberlain with Greed Puppet
