Students in ARTH 381 Classical Mythology in Art in spring 2019 and spring 2021 were given the option of researching a topic in Greek and Roman mythology and completing a creative project based on the results of their research. Students worked in a variety of media, including ceramics, digital art, painting, and sculpture. The outstanding quality of the projects created by our students make a strong case for the importance of Art History for informing the work of Art Studio and Graphic Design students at SUNY Potsdam.
