Senior Capstone- smART: keeping ART education in school

This was my senior capstone for my final year at the School of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati. Our capstone had to address a social issue. Research has shown that studies in visual art help improve brain growth, produce higher test scores, lower attendance problems, and expose children to the possibility of future career opportunities. When school districts are faced with budget cuts, art programs are often the first to be affected. smART is a fundraising campaign and partnership with Artworks and Cincinnati Public Schools to supply children with a better and stronger art education.

The senior capstone project must address a human need via communication design in a unique way. The project must effectively address the problems it claims to deal with, provide the benefit it claims to, and/or convincingly argue that it would provide a desired benefit. A design capstone should indicate a well developed aesthetic sensitivity and competence in form-making.
