Fall 2023

Students in the HUM 298M (or Classic Movie Series) course have created digital projects that remix/reimagine a scene from a film of their choice. In their remix/reimagine, they were to think about film elements such as mise-en-scène, cinematography, sound, style, and editing and how changing these elements could lead to a meaningful adaptation of their scene. They could choose any type of art (such as a drawing, painting, collage, digital art, original film, or creative/descriptive written composition) to remix/reimagine their scene. In addition to their interpretation in art, they were to write an explanation that answered the following questions:

• What film did you choose a scene from, and why did you choose this film to represent in your remix?
• What scene did you choose from the film, and why did you want to reimagine this scene in your Interpretation in Art?
• What changes did you make to the scene’s mise-en-scène, sound, cinematography, style, or editing? Why did you make these changes?

This project encouraged students to show an appreciation for film, apply film knowledge gained from the course, analyze film sequences to show how filmmakers create meaning, and create a well-written and interactive project for academic and civic communities.

The Foundations of Baking class illustrates how even food can be remixed and reimagined.  Take this traditional Banana Split dessert, for instance.  View the following video to see the traditional dessert transformed into a new creation!

In Fall 2022, Beta Lamda Delta created its series of books, Pretty Terrific Kids, aimed at bringing to life a vision of accessibility, inclusion, and equity.  These books were created as children's books and centered around inspiring and educating children about accessibility and inciting positive change.  This fall, PTK Beta Lamda Delta has remixed and reimagined this series into a tween series dealing with more age appropriate subjects.  Below is the picture of the new installment of this series, but viewers can follow the link to read the remixed text: https://www.prettyterrifickids.com/ebooks-1. 

For their 2023 Honors in Action Project, the officers of PTK’s Pi Pi chapter set up an art and mindfulness room at this year’s PioneerCon. When participants entered into “The Mind Tap,” they were asked to remix and reimagine various world lore while also learning more about themselves.
