**The Creative Works of Decoration and Costume Students in the Theater Department at Helwan University's Faculty of Arts in Theatrical Costume Design Projects**

In support of young talents and artistic creativity, Helwan University has evaluated the projects of third-year theater department students specializing in decoration and costumes as part of the "Theatrical Costume Design" course at the Faculty of Arts. This initiative is under the patronage of Dr. Sayed Kandil, President of Helwan University, and Dr. Ahmed Rawy, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, with supervision by Dr. Abeer Mansour, Head of the Department, and the presence of several professors.

The projects were supervised by Dr. Walaa El-Banna, a decoration and costume *Lecturer* in the department. The students presented four diverse projects showcasing their artistic talent and innovative capabilities:

1. **First Project:** Designing the character "Caligula" using different artistic schools and collage techniques.
2. **Second Project:** Designing costumes for figures from Greek civilization and some mythical creatures.
3. **Third Project:** Designing costumes for characters from children's theater.
4. **Fourth Project:** Creating a crown inspired by ancient Egyptian civilization, using contemporary techniques and modern artistic treatments.

Students utilized artificial intelligence to animate their designs as a form of digital artistic expression, reflecting their awareness of technological advancements in visual and theatrical arts.

The projects demonstrated the students' high level of creativity and the significant effort they invested throughout the academic year.
