Transcription And Publication Of The Didymus Papyrus In Byu Special Collections, Lincoln H. Blumell
Journal of Undergraduate Research
In January 2013 I received a MEG in the amount of $19,707.00 to work on the transcription and publication of the twenty-two page Didymus Papyrus that is housed in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections Library. I am pleased to report that this project was very successful. The papyrus has been completely transcribed, translated, annotated, and indexed, and I expect within the next couple of months to submit the piece for publication. I have already secured a publisher for this very important papyrus and the series it will be a part of is the Papyrologische Texte und Abhandlungen out of …

Singing The Bible: The Impact Of Haik-Vantoura’S Theory, Hannah Lambert, Shon Hopkin
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The use of liturgical music is common to several faiths in today’s society. The purpose of this project was to shed light on the origins and development of cantillation marks in the Hebrew bible and on the development of liturgical music in post-biblical time. Most importantly, this project’s chief purpose was to analyze and demonstrate the impact of Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura’s proposal regarding cantillation on Jewish and Christian liturgical and worship music.
Reevaluating The Bronze And Iron Age Ceramic Evidence Of Biblical Hebron, Christina Nelson, Jeffrey Chadwick
Reevaluating The Bronze And Iron Age Ceramic Evidence Of Biblical Hebron, Christina Nelson, Jeffrey Chadwick
Journal of Undergraduate Research
As the home to several Old Testament prophets such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and King David, Hebron holds a significant role in the biblical narrative and history of the Israelites. Today, the modern city of Hebron is located in the hill country of Judah, most known for the Tomb of the Patriarchs and the Cave of Machpelah. Fifty years ago the site of Tell er-Rumeide/Hebron was excavated by Philip C. Hammond as the American Expedition to Hebron (AEH). He excavated between the years of 1964-1966 until the war of 1967 necessitated his withdrawal. Dr. Hammond willed to Jeffrey R. …
Researching The Restoration Of The Melchizedek Priesthood, Nathan Richardson, Dr. Michael Hubbard Mackay
Researching The Restoration Of The Melchizedek Priesthood, Nathan Richardson, Dr. Michael Hubbard Mackay
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Many historians, both Mormon and non-Mormon, have developed ideas about the restoration of the priesthood, and there is a rich literature that describes the details of those events. However, the Joseph Smith Papers Project, for which my mentor, Dr. MacKay is an author, has uncovered new information and produced new analysis from their detailed work that will help reinterpret and specify some of the important events of the restoration. This analysis is valuable to both the Church as a whole and to my individual knowledge and testimony of the Church. The ORCA research project in which I have participated has …

Artistic Practice And Domestic Experience In New Zealand, Alexis Ostraff, Gary Barton
Artistic Practice And Domestic Experience In New Zealand, Alexis Ostraff, Gary Barton
Journal of Undergraduate Research
For a while now I’ve been interested in the role that food plays in the interaction between individuals and groups of people. In my own home growing up I learned to love food and the gatherings that food facilitated, especially family meal-times. I more recently developed the desire to look further into how food affects our lives. For my ORCA project I wanted to observe interactions surrounding food in homes different from my own. I was curious about cultural similarities and differences, and wondered what I could learn in others homes that would influence my artwork as well as my …

The Filippini Project, Courtney Mcwhorter, James Swensen
Journal of Undergraduate Research
In Argentina, many of the artists outside of the capitol are not studied despite how important they might be to the history of Argentina. I was once passing through a town in La Pampa, and I walked into a local museum. On a temporary display, I saw beautiful photographs taken from the 1920s and later. As a student of art history, I was intrigued by the works and wanted to know more about the photographer. I asked the lady at the museum if there was a pamphlet or book about the artist that I could purchase to learn more about …
Another Look: A Rephotographic Survey Of Giovanni Paolo Panini’S Works, Kendra Harris, James Swensen
Another Look: A Rephotographic Survey Of Giovanni Paolo Panini’S Works, Kendra Harris, James Swensen
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Giovanni Paolo Panini was a famous painter during the 18th century, and is mainly known as a vedutisti, or view painter. He is notable for his paintings of Rome, which often incorporated fantastical landscapes of the most renowned sites of the city.1 The purpose of this project was to recreate sixteen of Panini’s most famous works of art through photography, capturing the modern appearance of some of the most famous sites in Rome. By completing this research project, I have been able to document the ever-changing cityscape of Rome and continue Panini’s work of capturing the art and architecture of …

Summer Dance Intensive Field Study, Amy Gunter, Nathan Balser
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Gaga, created by Isreal’s Ohad Naharin, is an innovative movement practice focused on enhancing sensations within the body through movement. It is used both as a training method for dancers, and a movement practice for the general public. Because the emphasis of Gaga is to explore sensation and availability for movement in a completely unique way, it is becoming increasingly popular in the dance world today. Gaga is also unique in that there are no expectations of what your body should look like while doing it. Each person must take the instructor’s cues and interpret them inside their own bodies; …
Vienna Recording Project, Christian Succo, Dr. Will Kimball
Vienna Recording Project, Christian Succo, Dr. Will Kimball
Journal of Undergraduate Research
As a Music Education Major at BYU and a competent trombone player, I recognize the value and importance of experiencing things first hand. In my experience theory and practice are different. The first lacks a certain depth of understanding and often carries with it false realizations and implications. Due to this, it becomes essential to discover ways of bringing real life experiences to our school and provide ways for students to engage themselves in these experiences. The Vienna Recording Project is a work in progress that will ultimately tap into the need that students have to experience things without ever …

“Peer Recordings II” is a continuation of a project designed to build an archive of educational materials for use as a pedagogical resource to teach style and musicianship. This project provides an advanced Jazz Studies trumpet student with valuable recording experience. These recordings will be a valuable resource in aiding other students unfamiliar with Jazz styles to learn and feel comfortable in the idiom.

Details: Western American Fashion In The 20th Century, Chelsey Roberts, Mary Farahnakian
Journal of Undergraduate Research
As the lid of the first box was lifted off I became giddy. I couldn’t help but reach out and touch the golden yellow silk flapper dress. My fate to the BYU Historic Clothing Collection was sealed. It was the last week of classes of my first semester at BYU. Dr. Mary Farahnakian was showing us the study collection of historical clothing that was kept on campus for student use. Each piece held a story and I wanted to be a part of uncovering the story.
“Shepherd” A Documentary Film, Jared Jakins, Thomas Lefler
“Shepherd” A Documentary Film, Jared Jakins, Thomas Lefler
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The production of this documentary has been extensive, and in the process the project was renamed “Ghosts on the Mountain.” The film examines the isolated lifestyle of H-‐2A guest workers in the American West by subtly exploring the emotions that come with their occupation. The film’s subjects leave family and native lands to work in the US on H-‐2A work visas, or no visas at all. Surrounded by breathtaking vistas, these workers find themselves in solitude and loneliness. This isolation is heightened by language barriers and the remoteness of the sheep’s pasture lands. They become, in a sense, “ghosts” to …
Adriaen Van De Venne’S Skating Owls (1620-1660), Sarah James Dyer, Martha Peacock
Adriaen Van De Venne’S Skating Owls (1620-1660), Sarah James Dyer, Martha Peacock
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Although some scholars think that Skating Owls (1620-1660) by Adriaen van de Venne (Fig. 1) is solely a lighthearted piece, I have found that through his use of iconographic imagery and well-known proverbs, van de Venne was able to generate a work of art intended to portray a moralizing message condemning the vice of adultery and warning the male audience about the dangers of cunning women. It was imperative for my thesis to see the artwork in person to conduct further research and gain a greater knowledge about the artwork’s purpose. Very little is known or has been published on …
Visual Research Of Delacroix, Drew Rane, Peter Everett
Visual Research Of Delacroix, Drew Rane, Peter Everett
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The paintings of Eugene Delacroix show an exception power and emotion. Delacroix uses the human figure and color in order to express emotion. There continues to be an important place for the use of representation of the human figure in contemporary art. This is through the expressive quality that avails itself through use of the figure. Though the widespread popularity of the human figure in art waxes and wanes there continues to be a need filled by the figure. The representation varies widely from traditional academic accurate representation to an abstracted form to an even more distanced use with contemporary …
Application Of Piaget’S Cognitive Development Theory To Art Education In A Multicultural Setting, Kaled Ostraff, Dan Barney
Application Of Piaget’S Cognitive Development Theory To Art Education In A Multicultural Setting, Kaled Ostraff, Dan Barney
Journal of Undergraduate Research
My project’s aim was to apply Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory to art education. His theory describes the process children use to create views or schemas of the external world. He was “intrigued with the reasons children gave for their wrong answers” (McLeod, 2012). I was interested in analyzing drawings of children from two different cultural sites. To investigate what impact culture and the experiences of children have on the development of those children’s schemas as expressed through their drawings. I went to two sites: Summit Academy in Utah and Sylvia Park School in New Zealand.
Project: Dancing In The Light, Charis Dexter, Shayla Bott
Project: Dancing In The Light, Charis Dexter, Shayla Bott
Journal of Undergraduate Research
There are many ways that light is perceived, it can be seen, felt, measured, ignored, blocked, and directed. The project I successfully completed was a tangible experiment with light. I choreographed a dance for the BYU Ballet Showcase company called “Dancing in the Light”, the light of Christ. The experiment was within the experience of creating a dance that could carry a message of light, that through the dancers the audience could literally feel something being communicated to them. What I aimed to learn from this project was to polish my execution in the delicate craft of choreography, in order …
Eugene Levinson’S School Of Agility Understanding Its Application, Joshua Lambert, Eric Hansen
Eugene Levinson’S School Of Agility Understanding Its Application, Joshua Lambert, Eric Hansen
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Throughout classical music history, most major composers of the baroque, classical and romantic eras overlooked the bass as a solo instrument leaving the instrument’s repertoire tragically underdeveloped. In recent decades, however, a significant number of virtuoso double bassists has emerged and, along with them, significant new solo works have changed the way the instrument is played and heard. These luminary bassists devoted much of their careers to developing a new pedagogy for the double bass in an effort to compensate for centuries of pedagogical deficiency. One of the leading figures in this movement to advance the double bass as a …

Tchaikovsky’S Violin Concerto: The Composer’S Original, Auer’S Edition, And The Performer’S Dilemma, Caitlin Johnson, Alexander Woods
Journal of Undergraduate Research
I began my project with two purposes: to compile a history of the evolution of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35, including the compositional process, premiere history, different editions, and performance tradition; and to synthesize that research in an informed performance of the concerto. The Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto is a landmark in the genre’s evolution. Initially deemed too difficult to play and too transgressive of musical norms, the concerto received vitriolic reviews. Between the concerto’s genesis and its acceptance as a classic, it was altered to produce the several versions performed today. The edits made by performer and …
