8 UTArlington Magazine CAMPUS Special Effects Makeup Design Crash Course

THEA 4315 From witch faces to demon horns to werewolf paws, students in Associate Professor Joseph Kon- gevick’s Special Effects Makeup Design class create props that bring imagina- tive worlds to life. Each semester about 20 students enroll in the upper-level theater arts course to learn the styles and techniques of specialty makeup applica- tions for stage, film, and video. Kongevick teaches how to cast and mold body parts and then transform them into the prosthetics needed for special effects of all kinds—cuts, bullet holes, even cyborg faces. For their final project, students draw numbers that correspond to pictures of special effects they must duplicate. “The big thing my students learn is that you can’t rush any- thing,” Kongevick says. “A cast can take a day to set up, depending on the materials you’re using. Sculpting a mask takes a good deal of time. Patience is key—and that’s true for me, too. I have to relearn it each time I teach the class.”

SPRING 2013 9 CAMPUS Faculty Department of English

Cedrick May Call them literary sleuths. English Associate Professor Cedrick May and gradu- ate student Julie McCown recently discovered a never-before-published manuscript from one of the founders of early African- American literature. The handwritten poem by Jupiter Hammon, an 18th- century slave, called An Essay on Slavery had been boxed away in the Yale University Library archives. Dating from 1786, the work represents a major shift in the ideology that Hammon publicly advocated during his lifetime and seems to show his internal conflict over whether slavery was “God’s will” or a “dark and dismal” manmade state. Literary experts say the dis- covery is important because it voices a strong, direct critique of slavery and ex- pands the few known works by enslaved African-Amer- icans in the 1700s. “Initially, I thought this was either an incredibly elaborate hoax or a title put on something that Hammon had written earlier,” Dr. May says. “But that was not the case.” The research and the poem itself will be published in the June 2013 edition of the journal Early American Literature.

AIRPORT ART Don’t think of your next flight delay as an incon- venience. Think of it as an opportunity to peruse fine works by some of the nation’s leading artists. Dallas/Fort Worth Interna- tional Airport is home to $6 million in commissioned paintings, sculptures, and mosaic floor medallions. At Love Field in Dallas, a mod- ernization project is trans- forming the airport into another place to see out- standing art. The Gallery at UTA recently hosted “Flight Deck: Public Art at DFW and Love Field” showcasing the airport displays. The exhibit featured established art as well as models of forth- coming work intended for both locations. “Public art humanizes the public space and makes it more inviting,” says art Professor Benito Huerta, who curated the exhibit. “The airport is the first impression for visitors to the Metroplex, and the art gives that impression depth as to the diversity of ideas, expression, and cul- ture within our community.”

Down the road, another reader produces data on how long it took the vehicle to get there. Newer technology monitors streets other than free- ways. Some systems analyze Bluetooth signals to glean real-time information on how long it takes a vehicle to reach point B from point A. Same as with the toll tag readers, these systems monitor only the signals, leaving the owners’ privacy intact. All information sources are vital to the success of the 5-1-1 and corridor management initiatives. Of the two, DFW 5-1-1 is personalized for commuters. And it will be regionwide, unlike any other system in Texas. NCTCOG’s Natalie Bettger says the council works with major cities and other partners to keep everyone involved.

SPRING 2013 25 Deep in the Heart of Arlington

University and city leaders shared a vision of transform- ing downtown into a dining and entertainment destination. The result: a revitalized corridor fea- turing restaurants, performance venues, nightlife, and a rising cool factor. By David Hopkins

long abram street a courtyard with picnic tables beckons between Freebirds World Bur- A rito and Twisted Root Burger Co. Next door the newly reimagined Hooligan’s presents a stylish and casual bar with beautiful woodgrain touches, a stone fireplace, and a cozy patio. A few steps around the corner you’ll find old favorite J. Gilligan’s still serv- ing cold beer and heaps of Irish nachos. Behind Gil- ligan’s the trendy Capital Bar has transformed an old Goodyear building. Little of this was here a few years ago: the restaurants, the people, the cars parked along South Street because the nearby lots are full. Hard to believe. Downtown Arlington is bustling, and people are talking. Architecture alumnus Homer Saenz takes his fam- ily downtown at least once a week. “It’s nice to have a place to go out with your friends, enjoy some live music and things that we haven’t had before,” he says. “We’ve always had to go to Fort Worth or Dallas to do that. I really like what’s going on down there.”

Bond funding will address Abram Street from Cooper to Collins in 2015. “I expect we’ll be working with the city over the next year or so on the design,” Rutigliano says. “I’m hopeful that the project will be pedestrian oriented.” Abram Street is crucial to downtown’s continued redevelopment and momentum. “We’ve got to reverse our mindset. Arlington was developed around the car, but we now have the oppor- tunity to redevelop downtown Arlington around the pedestrian. It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity. We need people to come downtown on Abram Street and have that be a destination street. Get here, stay here, park here, walk.” As Arlington and its citizens mull how to improve downtown, its ultimate look will evolve. Arlington is not Dallas or Fort Worth, with their looming skylines, but it doesn’t bear the expectations of its large neighbors, either. Like Austin, Arlington’s downtown depends on its university. Unlike Austin, Arlington doesn’t suf- fer the “curse of Sixth Street”—a college bar scene so frenetic and volatile that locals stay away. Will Arlington imitate Grapevine with its quaint, walkable downtown, or maybe the Depot Entertain- ment District in Lubbock with its historical buildings, live music, and sports bars on Buddy Holly Avenue? Comparisons aside, at least downtown is part of the conversation—and the talk is growing louder. For Saenz ’93, an architect with Freese and Nichols and a 25-year Arlington resident, downtown’s dynamic scene offers the perfect mix. “There are so many options. You can eat dinner with the family or listen to live music at the different bars. You don’t have to haul all the way to Fort Worth or Dal- las. It’s a great place to hang out, and it’s close to home.” Close to remarkable, actually. ✪

not very sensitive, as opposed to nanoparticle devices, which are not only much more sensitive but potentially much less costly to commercially produce.” Even before SAVANT came along, federal entities showed interest in UT Arlington’s efforts. Chen and physics Professor Andrew Brandt have received more than $1.9 million in federal grants to develop radiation detection devices using luminescent nanoparticles embedded in a polymer thin film. Dr. Brandt and Erick Jones, an industrial and manu- facturing systems engineering associate professor, are deputy directors of the center. Collaboration primarily will be between the College of Science and the Col- lege of Engineering, but the College of Education and Health Professions, the College of Liberal Arts, and the College of Business also will play a role. Chen foresees SAVANT members consulting with architects to determine how best to incorporate sen- sor technology into buildings and landscapes. As the research becomes commercially feasible, marketing and communications assistance will be sought. “The days when researchers across campus were limited to their own silos of specialty are finished,” College of Engineering Dean Jean-Pierre Bardet says. “If we’re going to solve complex problems, collaborations like this are essential.” DETECTING THREATS Physics Associate Radiating Hope Professor Wei Chen Chen says developing nanomedicine for radiation dis- directs a new research eases is something no other homeland security cen- endeavor focused ter incorporates.

It wasn’t when the scale read 58 pounds, or when her organs started failing, or when she entered the hospital. It was the day she stopped fighting treatment and the doctors and nurses determined to help her. “I regained consciousness on the floor of a padded room, my entire body paralyzed, and I remember thinking: ‘I’ve lost.’ That was the day I learned to surrender,” she says. “I allowed myself to be taken care of, and through that experience I rediscovered my will to live.” After 18 months of inpatient treatment, Roff was released from the hospital and put officially in charge of her own recov- ery. She went to her first yoga class a few months later. “Yoga put me in touch with my body.
