b'ABSTRACTSDepartment of Art and DesignPreserving and Restoring Traditional Spaces of Powell Hall through the Utilization of Technology, Way Finding, and Design ElementsAllison L. Caughron, Areli Cruz-Olguin, Antonia M. Harvey and Hyejin JeongSponsor: Kyoung-Im ParkOur Powell Hall project focuses on restoring historic characteristics of the building, designing a space that meets the music departments needs, and creating a beautiful centrally located recital hall that both students and the community can enjoy. The design intent behind this project was to preserve character-defining spaces and features of the former library. A major goal we hoped to achieve was to make Powell Hall the focus of the Music Departments facilities. We carefully balanced using 21 stcentury technology in order to improve the teaching and performances that will be held in the space while also highlighting the historic elements of the building. Our rather outgoing purple color scheme may come off as bold, but the color purple was carefully chosen, as it has been known to increase creativity and offer a sense of fantasy. The monochromatic color scheme we used went hand in hand with our wayfinding. Assigning one shade of purple for each wing and floor allows guests to easily find their way through the space with matching signage. We meticulously designed the space to be accessible to all guests whether they have physical disabilities, vision impairments, or auditory issues.The Transformation of AndromedaKay-Elle F. ClermontSponsor: Dr. Glenda SwanThis video will analyze how the myth of Andromeda was portrayed in its original context within ancient Greek vase painting and how the myth was represented in a late 16 thcentury painting by the artist Giorgio Vasari. Despite early Greek mythology identifying Andromeda as the daughter of King Cepheus and Cassiopeia of Ethiopia, her foreignness was increasingly deemphasized. This process of acculturation resulted in Andromeda being more effectively depicted as an ideal Greek maiden. Eventually, the myth of Perseus saving Andromeda from sacrifice to a sea-monster was transformed into a romantic tale that reflected notions of masculine heroism and the stereotypical need for a man to rescue a woman. After the rescue, Perseus takes ownership of Andromeda by marrying her, placing her in the role of a proper Greek wife. Viewers will witness Andromedas transition from foreign other into an imagined feminine ideal in late fourth century Greek art and almost two thousand years later in late Renaissance art.11'
