Prerequisites - (1) Senior standing in Art; (2) Last Academic Term of resident attendance Art 400 is the normal final capstone course for senior art majors, as well as an option for senior art minors.

Art 400 is a guided, specialized studio art project course with subject and medium(s) chosen by the student and approved by the course instructor. Art 400 does not require that any projects undertaken within the course (at least one, but no more than two) be confined to a single studio art discipline, but does recommend that all courses of the specific discipline in which the student excels the best be taken. Completed project works must be included in quarterly senior art honors exhibitions, and a portfolio of professional quality color slides of the project must be submitted before the final grade is assigned. The final course grade will be determined by a committee of the visual arts faculty. If Art 400 is chosen as an art major's Senior Project, then the student can take Art 402 (see below) only once.
