Qipao And Female Fashion In Republican China And Shanghai (1912-1937): The Discovery And Expression Of Individuality, Qingxuan Han Jan 2019

Qipao And Female Fashion In Republican China And Shanghai (1912-1937): The Discovery And Expression Of Individuality, Qingxuan Han

Senior Projects Fall 2019

This project is an attempt to understand the Chinese dress qipao in Republican China, with a primary concentration in Shanghai, and its associations with body politics, urbanscape, modernity, personal and national identity, and sociocultural practices. In particular, I argue that qipao, amongst other fashions of Republican China, had been one of the earliest examples of the modern expression of individuality through fashion in China; I strive to discover how this practice was enabled by its contemporary social environment as well as technological advancements.

Rhythm Quest: Creating A Music Video Game, Tanner Daniel Cohan

Senior Projects Fall 2019

This project was the creation of a music-centric video game named Rhythm Quest. Rhythm Quest is a combination of two very distinct video game genres, in a way that has not yet been done in the mainstream, particularly taking inspiration from the rhythm game Rhythm Heaven and the turn-based roleplaying-game (RPG) Paper Mario. It was a joint project between the computer science and music divisions, and involved the creation of all assets necessary to create a video game, including sprite creation, software development, writing, music, and sound effects. The game’s tutorial, as well as the battle system, is complete.
