The concept of a digital thesis archive at the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design premiered during the pandemic to spotlight the class of 2020. The digital platform was launched due to social-distancing requirements and it has now become a new tradition to archive the capstone projects of each graduating class.
The Class of 2021 Archives highlights 58 seniors from the departments of Animation & Game Art, Fine Art, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography & Video.
“This is a remarkable and nimble class,” says Michael Molla, President of PCA&D. “They are graduating in a remarkable time and they have proven how resilient, resourceful, deft, and dexterous they are.”
