The Flowering Rhinoceros: An Extension Of Photography Into Other Media, Lawrence Leslie Bullis

All Master's Theses

This paper develops, in a literary form, thematic material derived from fourteen photographically etched metal pieces, two photo-serigraphs, and six photographically produced intaglio prints. The narrative takes the form of an allegorical fantasy which contains a practical attitude toward photographic alchemy. New insights are provided into the origins and nature of the photographic medium in the light of the symbolic context of the artwork.

Illustrations of the artwork from which this paper derives are provided.

Creative Photography Through Image And Color Separation, Robert Curtis Green

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this thesis study was to explore various ways of producing creative photographs by manipulating an image as well as its plastic elements. The main areas of investigation included image and color separation, which produced new elements in the photographs. These elements synthetically created an image that was different from the original and had acquired a new meaning through the artist. This study should not be thought of as complete or final but infinite in its possibilities and extensions.

The Manipulation Of Visual And Aural Allegorical Images On Motion Picture Film, Douglas Rogers Atherton

All Master's Theses

As a means of expression and communication, I have found motion picture film to be the most rewarding arid satisfying artistic medium I have yet encountered with the exception of musical sounds. Because I feel a strong affinity for both film and music on a nearly equal basis, and because the two art forms compliment each other in practical and aesthetic senses, I have attempted to develop from established film theories, a personal and therefore unique approach to the combination of sound and picture images and the statement held therein.

Photographic Imagery As A Source For Iconography In Painting And Drawing, Eric Peder Brakken

All Master's Theses

Any verbalization of an artistic statement is by its very nature, an inadequate interpretation. However, I feel there is some merit in a concise declaration of my general concepts in the study. This paper represents a summation of the concepts and directions involved in my studio investigation in painting and drawing.

Specifically, it is within the scope of man's altered and effected perception of reality that I have based the studio research.
