Burning House Art Exhibit, Daniel Baugh Apr 2013

Burning House Art Exhibit, Daniel Baugh

Undergraduate Research Conference

The unique blending of raw, figurative abstractions and a timeless illustrative style stand at the core of our work. This was a conscious effort to seek out the newest and boldest works in the field, created by Texas artists. Inspiration is derived from everyday life experiences. We are relying on the improvisational emergence of creating. The work as a whole reflects a pursuit of presenting expressive ideas and capturing emotion in a two dimensional format. From each canvas, panel and brush stroke, release emotions, ideas, and uniue perceptions just for you, the viewer.


An Allegorical Reading Of Cormac Mccarthy's Outer Dark, Renee Williams Apr 2013

An Allegorical Reading Of Cormac Mccarthy's Outer Dark, Renee Williams

Undergraduate Research Conference

Though Cormac McCarthy deals with aspects of religion in each of his works, Outer Dark stands apart as a complete theodicy presented through complex allegory. Through his casting of the novel's characters as analogues for Christ, humanity, and Satan, McCarthy comments on the nature and consequences of the cosmic struggle between the forces of good and evil. McCarthy constructs his theodicy with the incorporation of Nietzschean philosophy and a deistic perspective.


The Introduction Of The Black Conductor, Akeila Thomas Apr 2013

The Introduction Of The Black Conductor, Akeila Thomas

Undergraduate Research Conference

The conductor has become a position of great influence and necessity to the performing ensemble due to innovations in performance between the Baroque and mid to late Romantic periods. With such prominence given to the title, one such conductor has gained very little mention throughout the course of music's history. African-American musicians have played such a catalytic role in the shape and progression of Western music.


An Explanation Of Mannerisms, Emilie Gaultier Apr 2013

An Explanation Of Mannerisms, Emilie Gaultier

Undergraduate Research Conference

I have found through sociological research and observation that body language defines how people perceive us. The importance of the first handshake, the manner we bring our hands together while talking, or the way students use their fist to rest on their chin while in class -- all these mannerisms explain to the potential employer, the vivid listener, or the professor how we feel without consciously knowing it. The purpose of my work is to expand awareness to professionals towards implications of their presented body language.
