The addendum is a written work that highlights supplementary material made to an original document. It is also known as the Afterword or Appendix.
The addendum seeks to help clarify ideas raised in the paper and to connect concepts that may be later discovered in the student’s research not made in the original Capstone research project.
Following the completion of your exhibition and oral defense, each student will write a two page (minimum) ADDENDUM to incorporate into their Capstone research papers and added to the paper's Table of Contents.
This written work should state the impact of the student’s scholarly research and the student’s ongoing creative work and how each has served the other’s advancements.
It is an opportunity for the student to look backwards and forwards simultaneously.
The student needs to connect the concepts raised in their Thesis Capstones and other source materials. It is anticipated that this thoughtfully authored work will help place the student’s creative output into the context of the art historical practice they are about to enter as professional artists.
