Examples of 2006 Capstone Projects:
Matthew Thurman,
who is attending McGill University
in Montreal spent his first week of Capstone in March
touring France. Matthew traveled around Paris looking at architecture
and urban planning. His second week of Capstone in May was
spent touring Louisville and photographing the city’s
architecture so he could draw differences and similarities
to Paris.
Claire Burgess,
who is attending The College of
Wooster, spent her first week of Capstone in Ireland
photographing landscapes and studying photocomposition. In
May, Claire toured Louisville and photographed the city landscape
in an effort to decide which was more aesthetically pleasing
to a photographer’s eye.
Andrew Pfeifer,
who is attending Skidmore College,
spent his Capstone weeks creating a video on the “86/64”
project. The “bridge” project aims to advocate
the plan of building an upriver bridge, to realign I-64 across
it, fix Spaghetti Junction, tear down the waterfront expressway
and “watch Louisville thrive.” Andrew’s
9-minute video chronicles this project and the efforts that
have been made to date.
David Knopf,
who is attending Princeton,
traveled to London to examine the culture and grounds of the
“Bloomsbury Group,” which was a literary group
that made the Bloomsbury area of London the center of its
activities from 1904 to World War II. David visited the homes
of many of the members and toured the area they made famous.
Julian Snow,
who is attending Emory University,
called his Capstone Project: “Mom, what can I do in
sports if I have no talent?” Julian’s first week
was spent shadowing Rick Bozich is a sport writer for the
Louisville Courier-Journal. Julian’s second week was
spent at the University of Louisville’s Athletics Department,
operated by Tom Jurich.
Bradley Howard,
who is attending The Art Institute
of Atlanta, shadowed
various chefs around Louisville. Bradley cooked at the sushi
bar at Amazing Grace, and spent time in the kitchen at Lilly’s
and Jack Fry’s. For Bradley’s Capstone presentation,
he prepared lasagna for his fellow students.
Audrey McCulloch,
who is attending Emory University,
spent her time studying the city planning of Washington D.C.,
Chicago and Louisville. Audrey took photographs for her project
as she did some sightseeing in each city. She examined the
differences and similarities in how each city was designed.
Clara Stam,
who is attending Wheaton College,
traveled to Union University in Jackson, Tennessee and to
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to examine
evolution. Clara spoke with students and professors about
the teachings of evolution, specially the Fossil Record.
