Darby Loughin Capstone 2025

Posted by Darby Loughin in CTE Senior Capstone · Kamal/Rivera/Spry/Ugworji · Wed on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 11:07 am

At the beginning of this year, during the brainstorming process of capstones, I thought a lot about what kind of project I wanted to submit — one that I would be able to enjoy creating, and that I valued personally. After having spent lots of time on the terrace, I noticed how it lacked color and warmth. To combat this, I decided I wanted to create a vibrant and intricate piece on one of the walls that would make the space more inviting for the SLA community. The project is inspired mainly by Claude Monet’s depictions of the earth, as well as the fine line works of Japanese botanical art. By combining the two, I was able to create a design that reflected my artistic style and goals. In addition to this, I collaborated with Aviva Boix to create a cohesive design of a Philadelphia skyline mosaic, blended with a naturalistic mural.

This project involved a lot of moving parts, including research for how to complete an artwork at this scale, pitching at Braskem to receive funding, purchasing materials, communicating with various building staff to discuss how to go about the project, and of course, painting the physical design. There were many setbacks in this project, mainly including communication issues and inconvenient weather. However, through this, we learned how important explicit communication is, and to define time constraints before beginning a complicated project such as this one. At this time, our project is not completed, however the evidence below shows our continued efforts of finishing the piece and being able to present a polished capstone.

Our video is similar to Night Show today, where the host invites guests to interview. In our video, the host (Stephen Lee) invited several characters the play, Macbeth to be interviewed about the transformation of Macbeth. Enjoy :)
