Bella Wright is a senior from Rock Island, Ill., majoring in art history and minoring in studio art.

"A large portion of this paper will be dedicated to graffiti artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, as well as other mixed media and artists. I am going to form a timeline using art to call attention to the deep rooted history of police brutality in America. I also want to include a personal aspect to this project, so I was considering interviewing members of my family about their experiences being a person of color in America."

Enrique Tuason is a senior from Plano, Ill., majoring in graphic design and communication studies.

"I have always loved the tangibility of things. I love the feeling of having something physical in my hands. I find I appreciate things more when they are right in front of me. This is why I love playing cards. Cards have always captivated me, whether they be trading cards or tarot cards. I have been collecting decks of cards for as long as I can remember. Every deck I have in my collection is unique and special to me."

Tyler Troesch is a senior from Chicago, Ill., majoring in graphic design and art.

"These designs are meant to be printed on t-shirts, as I strive to create the kind of graphic quality you would see on such media in my own work. As an artist one of my biggest struggles has always been creating work that I can genuinely feel proud of, but these pieces allowed me enough creative freedom to forget about that and simply create what I wanted to create."

India Torres is a senior from San Diego, Calif., majoring in studio art.

"As long as I can remember, I have loved the study of light in art. Everyone experiences light literally or emotionally when you feel happy or content. However, with most things there is an opposite to light. Shadows or dark emotions are often close behind. My work commonly displays aspects of stark contrast between dark and light, and I continue on this path with my Senior Inquiry."

Peyton Richard is a senior from South Elgin, Ill., majoring in psychology and art.

"As I started this project, I went through a process of trying to figure out what lights up my heart most. It took hours of reflecting and running through ideas to realize what makes me happiest has been in front of me my whole life. Therefore, I have created this project as a tribute to all of the things I love, like the people I am surrounded by, the places I have lived, and each little aspect in between."
