"My Floating World"















We've just posted the video for an Honors senior thesis that everyone should see. Art major Elisabeth Humphreys studied the classical Japanese art of "Ukiyo-e" printmaking and set out on an epic quest to create her own prints based on incredibly precise and labor-intensive techniques adapted from Japanese masters. The story of how Elisabeth researched the techniques and experimented with and adapted them in order to create her own very personal prints is one of the most informative, well-organized, and entertaining senior thesis presentations we've ever seen. We urge all current Honors students to view it here. Congratulations Elisabeth!
