机构奖助金和奖学金

每年秋季, 学生奖学金委员会设立多个奖项，最高可达2美元,000, 由彼得·格鲁亚和玛丽·奥康奈尔于2007年成立的捐赠基金资助. 这些奖项支持教师指导的学生在所有学科的研究.

Grua/O’Connell Research Awards can be used in conjunction with other sources of funding from the College (e.g.例如，大学授予的奖学金)或外部来源(如奖学金).g., a faculty grant); however, preference will be given to applicants without other sources of funding. 通常，这些奖励不会超过2,000美元.

该基金的奖金支持:

• 学生研究费用 例如购买书籍和设备, 发表研究成果, 或者这些费用的任意组合, or
• *学生旅游 that will substantially enhance students’ honors projects or research being conducted under the mentorship of a faculty member (e.g., 前往图书馆/档案馆或其他地方进行研究, 或者去参加一个会议来展示结果).

通常，这些奖励不会超过2,000美元.

格雷迪奥尔德里奇'18:先进的材料调查通过雕塑 

Thanks to the Grua O’Connell Research award I received I was able have an enriching experience over the course of my independent study and I was able to experiment with many new materials that would have been otherwise inaccessible to me. 这笔拨款主要用于支付艺术制作材料的费用, especially larger quantities of rubber for mold making and other materials for experimentation and casting. 我探索了与模具制作和铸造相关的不同技术, and I continued to push my ideas throughout the project to create numerous works that sought to consider ideas related to gender, 性, 和身份.

在我项目开始的时候, 我把大部分时间都集中在制作模具上，并通过批量生产来探索我的想法. 随着我兴趣的不断转移, 我对材料的使用也是如此, 从这种更系统化的方法转变为以粘土手工建造为中心的方法. 尽管我研究的中心主题在整个学期都保持不变, 随着每一个后续的作品，我制作的形式和作品都发生了变化, 由此产生的作品包括三个陶瓷物体，作为装饰物体系列的一部分. 这些对象, 这是我在这学期里完成的作品, 它们不只是我思想不断成熟的象征吗, 但我更关心的是艺术品之间的关系, 装饰, 以及作品的“美”.

I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity as it allowed me to further explore my artistic ideas with materials that I would not normally utilize. Through this experience I was able to consider themes that had consistently shown up in my work but required the depth and time that an independent study provided to fully come to fruition and be realized within a complete art piece. 在对自己的创作过程有了这样的认识之后, I am excited to continue forward with the material knowledge and conceptual background that I gained from this experience.

在他们导师的帮助下, Bowdoin students are able to apply for mini-grants to support academic year undergraduate research and travel. 申请每月接受，奖金从200美元到800美元不等. 学生每学期只能获得一次小额资助. 有关申请要求的详细信息，请访问 每月Mini-奖助金 页面.

Evelyn Beliveau '19:意大利的绘画和艺术史

今年夏天, 我就读于锡耶纳的布兰代斯大学, 这是布兰迪斯大学在锡耶纳艺术学院探索早期文艺复兴艺术的项目. 在7月11日到8月18日之间, 我和另外九名学生一起在锡耶纳市生活和学习, 保存完好的中世纪和哥特式建筑的联合国教科文组织世界遗产. 这个项目提供了一个了解该地区历史的机会, 以及当代托斯卡纳文化, 通过艺术和艺术创作的镜头.

正式来说，这个项目包括两门学术课程，但它远不止于此. 艺术史和工作室艺术课程紧密相连, 到托斯卡纳周边城市的实地考察, 以及我们在锡耶纳的日常生活. 我们探讨了绘画的发展, 雕塑, and architecture from the Romanesque and Gothic periods in the 13th-14th centuries through the beginnings of the Renaissance in the 15th century. 在工作室美术课上, 我们采用了文艺复兴时期油画家使用的上釉技术, which involves a monochromatic under-painting with color applied afterward in thin layers; we used this technique on still life and landscape paintings, 人物画出自模特, 以及大师作品的复制品. Excursions during and outside of class time allowed us to see artworks created with the same techniques that we were learning in the studio, 以及在艺术史上具有重要里程碑意义的作品. 这些实地考察把我们带到了锡耶纳的国家美术馆, 佛罗伦萨的乌菲齐美术馆, 以及锡耶纳的许多教堂和建筑纪念碑, 弗洛伦斯, 和圣吉米尼亚诺. We also had the opportunity to view contemporary art at Galleria Continua in San Gimignano and at the Venice Biennale, an incredible event featuring more than a hundred contemporary artists from dozens of countries around the world. These instances prompted reflection about art’s changing role from the period of the Renaissance we were studying to the modern day. 整体, the site visits and course materials blended with our immersion in Sienese daily life to provide a culturally intensive experience.

这次经历对我产生了深远的影响. I encountered art in a way that I rarely do; visits to museums and churches felt at once like personal experiences of the artworks, 用时间来反思每件作品或地点的深度, 比如上课时间, 知识渊博的教授在现场提供详细的背景和意义. 这些作品的故事将伴随我很长一段时间. 想想14世纪20年代及之后在佛罗伦萨工作的艺术家们，这种感觉尤其强烈, 谁意识到他们正在创造一种新的视觉语言——一种人文主义的语言, 对人体和古典思想的全新尊重, 对空间和人类在世界上的作用有了新的认识. These artists knew they were making breakthroughs in the realism of painting and 雕塑 or in the intentionality of architecture, 他们非常在意自己所开创的先例. 从艺术史课堂走进绘画工作室，用同样的技巧工作, 与这些艺术家在同一背景下，本身就很深刻. 我们在创造艺术的过程中就像我们在学习艺术一样活跃. 此外, 我们在课堂上学到的历史在我们的日常生活中是可见的, walking around Siena; we were able to visit the Siena Cathedral, 罗马式和哥特式建筑的完美结合, 或者在放学回家的路上抬头看一眼文艺复兴风格的宫殿. 就我的个人成长而言, 这个项目影响了我的学术目标，也影响了我对艺术的看法. 我比以往任何时候都更确定我对绘画的热爱和我作为视觉艺术专业的道路, and I expect that concepts from the studio course this summer will directly inform my work in Visual Art courses at Bowdoin. The art history class has had just as strong an effect; my new understanding of the context of the oil painting tradition will give me a more nuanced perspective on my studio work, 但我也意识到我对艺术史本身的热情. 因此，我这个夏天的学习将影响我在皇冠体育和其他学校的发展轨迹.

布兰代斯在锡耶纳是一个密集, profound experience which broadened my understanding of art and art’s connection to specific locations and contexts. I fully experienced the cultural environment of Siena; I learned in great detail the developments in art production which led up to the blossoming of the Renaissance; and I created oil paintings intimately linked through subject matter and style to the location in which I was working. 我在意大利的时光非常宝贵，并将在我在皇冠体育的学术生涯中留下印记.
