Title: The Hardwick Portrait of Elizabeth I of England: Queenship and Friendship

URL: https://omeka.library.american.edu/s/hardwickportrait/

Description: Welcome to this digital exhibition, a culmination of a year of research on early modern England, the Hardwick Portrait (c. 1590-99) of Queen Elizabeth I and its owner Bess of Hardwick, and the politically advantageous symbolism of the animals and flowers depicted in the work. The project helped to satisfy the requirements of a Master of Arts degree in Art History at American University in Washington, D.C., which was awarded to me in May of 2019. Section one of the exhibition closely anlyzes the Hardwick Portrait and related works to reveal strategies by which the image aggrandized Elizabeth to the advantage of Bess of Hardwick. Section two analyzes selected representations of Elizabeth through the lens of gender, to reveal how the portraits helped to shape and strengthen the queen's political authority: the Hardwick Portrait is one such work. Section three investigates the animals and flowers that bedeck Elizabeth's gown in the portrait to reveal their emblematic function in shaping the image of the Queen as an ideal ruler. Reading the sections of the exhibition in order, by clicking "next" at the bottom of each screen, is recommended. The site can also be navigated by clicking the menu symbol at the upper right. A bar with section titles will appear on the left; click the texts for access. Clicking on the thumbnails throughout the site will call up larger images in most cases. "The project helped to satisfy the requirements of a Master of Arts degree in Art History at American University in Washington, D.C." Advisor: Dr. Andrea Pearson ; Second reader: Dr. Joanne Allen. Department: Art ; Program: Art History ; Major: Renaissance/Baroque. Tori Gingrich's capstone project for American University.

Title: Eaglecaching

URL: http://eaglecaching.wix.com/aueaglecaching/

Description: Eaglecaching is a project developed by students enrolled in the AU Scholars program at American University in Washington D.C. Based on the "Geocaching" trend, Eaglecaching works to connect individuals with the school in ways not commonly seen. Through the placement of hidden "caches", one can learn about the unique history of American University, and what distinguishes it from its contemporaries. In doing so, seekers are able to see American in ways previously unseen while also honing their critical thinking abilities. As the movement grows, more caches can be added around campus, further developing the motley collection of already existing caches located across the university.
