Part of a series of final projects for Ringling College of Art + Design.
First-year Illustration major Saige Libertore was especially impressed with Romantic Gothicism in Arts in Context, especially that expressed in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Christabel.” This demonic tale of seduction told in verse features two female characters, the protagonist Christabel and the mysterious Geraldine. As you can see in Saige’s illustration, Geraldine is figured as the blond haired woman whose reflection shows her to be a snake. She chose an etching style and hoped to convey the drama in most gothic art. It sure seems like a snake about to strike is pretty dramatic!

For her final project in Classical Mythology in Literature, Art, and Music, 3rd-year Illustration major Erin Colleran decided to give Medusa a makeover to emphasize the gorgon as a “warrior baddass.” As Colleran wrote in her pitch, “She was once beautiful, and still is, though she has taken on more snakelike charms.” The outfit as designed above is intended to show her strength through armor. Her mid-section looks like a cross between a Greek gown and reptilian armor. Her main inspiration came from the work of Thierry Mulger. I can imagine this design actually being used in film or animation.

For her final project in Arts in Context, 2nd year Motion Design major Jasmine Fernandez decided to adapt Surrealism to a short digital video. She stated that she wanted to capture the surreal in today’s world over a musique concréte-style soundtrack.

Vincenza Della Donna, a 3rd year Illustration major, took her inspiration from a line that Medusa sings in Jean-Baptiste Lully's Persée(an opera we covered in Classical Mythology in Literature, Art and Music). By taking the lyrics “Happy is the fury that fills the universe with horror” and turning them into a typographic poster (using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop), Vincenza highlighted the gorgon’s anger at the injustice behind her monstrous transformation. Check out the way that all of the lettering is connected to represent the twisted nature of Medusa’s predicament (and, of course, the snakes) and the background of stone to represent the result of looking in the gorgon’s eyes.

Graduating Motion Design senior Thomas Eyester created what he calls “Roboedipus” – a reconceptualization of Oedipus as a robot made of bronze, copper, unpolished gold, and polished iron. Tommy said he wanted to convey the fundamentally artificial form of Oedipus’s sorrow and suffering as was discussed in Classical Mythology in Literature, Art and Music. Here we see Oedipus’s blinding (top), his descent into Hades (middle), and his blind shame (bottom). Pretty dramatic stuff!

Like many students in Classical Mythology in Literature, Art, and Music, 3rd year Illustration student Andrea Espinosa (aka countandi) sought to disrupt the idea of Medusa as an ugly monster. For a series titled “Medusa in Manhattan,” Andi envisioned Medusa as beautiful with a boyfriend named Charlie. Even the heroic myth is flipped: Perseus is a bounty hunter that mercilessly pursues her when “all she wants is some peace and quiet in her life.” I think this project has serious potential. Andi stated, “I got inspired for this due to how villainized Medusa tends to be in most fiction nowadays […] Perseus is the jerk here and it’d be nice for the little weasel to get off her back, especially when she finally found a chance for love and is turning over a new leaf.” Rock on, Andi!

Graduating senior in Photography and Digital Imaging Alyxandra Llano decided to convey Persephone’s descent into Hades for her final project in Classical Mythology in Literature, Art and Music. She stated that she was inspired by Stravinsky’s Perséphoneand Rebecca Litchfield’s series Underworld Realm. Her goal was to make Hades’ realm “beautiful yet somber” and to show Persephone’s sense of longing. I think she succeeded.

For her final project in Classical Mythology in Literature, Art and Music, 2nd year Game Art and Design major Elisabeth-Rose Smith decided to create an alternative, multicultural Sphinx based on elements from India, Egypt, and Greece. She combined the black-footed cat with the Eurasian sparrowhawk to capture the mythological creature’s wily nature. She complemented her Sphinx with an environment design of a cave populated by Greek pottery and Egyptian jars as a potential source for her riddles. These students never disappoint when it comes to imaginative recreations!
Oh yeah, guess I should make a mention of it over here too since there was a point where I made note of my nervousness.
I didn’t get into the Computer Animation major like I originally applied for. However, I got a letter offering three other closely related majors to choose from.
I went with my next desired option, Illustration.
I… I actually did it. I’m going to Ringling in the Fall. :’)
