Graphic Design & Painting, Emily Zepp

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

An Exploration Into Public Art, Samantha Fazio

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

What is public art and why is it important? How does it socially and economically impact the community and its members? In doing this project, I aimed to gain a deeper understanding of how to create a mural and of the greater cultural context that public art projects exist in.
