Sculptural Furniture, Gary Galbraith
Sculptural Furniture, Gary Galbraith
All Master's Theses
The artist should employ his sense of playful experimentation that requires the re-investigation of old manners and styles. I have attempted to apply the imagination of my senses to the furniture object in order to satisfy other human needs aside from comfort. These artistic requirements remove the piece of furniture from the realm of neutrality and tastefulness and expect the viewer - user to experience visual communication.

Utilization Of The Frame Loom For Weaving In The Secondary School, Bonnie Jean Powell
Utilization Of The Frame Loom For Weaving In The Secondary School, Bonnie Jean Powell
All Master's Theses
Creating weavings on the frame loom is an important method to be investigated in that it is possible to create complex and creative forms without using the intricate process of the harness loom. Because frame loom weaving has so many advantages for secondary art students, it should be investigated and explained so that future teachers, who have had little or no experience with it, could see its value and teach it to their own students.

An Investigation Of The Need To Correlate Academic Subject Areas With Industrial Arts, Ernest James Boedcher
An Investigation Of The Need To Correlate Academic Subject Areas With Industrial Arts, Ernest James Boedcher
Graduate Student Research Papers
This study was initiated as a result of a need that became apparent in two industrial arts seminars at Central Washington State College. Studies reveal that industrial arts teachers use principles, laws, and applications of mathematics and science daily, but these are seldom recognized and made meaningful to the students. As a result of this study industrial arts teachers may see a way to use this material to initiate similar situations in their teaching.
Lost-Wax Casting In Contemporary Jewelry, James Matthew Marta
Lost-Wax Casting In Contemporary Jewelry, James Matthew Marta
Graduate Student Research Papers
This paper will attempt to give the art teacher, art student, or craftsman a reliable guide to the methods, techniques, processes, problems and possibilities involved in producing a piece of cast jewelry by the lost-wax, or cire-perdu., method. None of the available guides to lost-wax casting give sufficient depth of technique, methods, or use of tools for the craftsman or teacher who may wish to improvise a casting experience in the classroom by the gravity-steam method. This paper will also aid the individual who wishes to establish a permanent lost-wax casting technique as a standard method in making jewelry, in …
