Verb Strings And Other Weavings: An Exploration Of Grammatical Structures, Visual Arts, And Language Teaching, Mae Bash

However, limited research has looked into the application of visual arts in the classroom for the exploration of linguistic patterns. Both languages and weavings are complex systems governed by distinct sets of rules, yet they still permit infinite unique productions.

These weavings show that it is possible to connect art and language through practical, structural methods, not only abstract …

WWU Honors College Senior Projects
This project contains two components: a research element and an artistic component. The research element examines how folklore and mythology stories evolve over time.

Similar themes and story elements across versions are discussed, as well as their implications for the larger narrative surrounding the Erlking. Particular emphasis is given to Goethe's 1782 poem version of Der Erlkonig and …
