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.


Pen And Pigment Collaborative Project, Unexpected, Jessica Dunn Apr 2012

Pen And Pigment Collaborative Project, Unexpected, Jessica Dunn

Undergraduate Research Conference

Every year the School of Art teams with the English Department to produce a body of work titled Pen and Pigment. I was able to participate in this project through my Typography class with Peter Andrew. Our assignment consisted of two parts. First, we were instructed to produce a poster with a typographic design to exchange with the Creative Writing: Poetry class in the English Department. Second, upon exchange of works, we were given a poem to interpret while using typography as a strong element in our design. The poetry class, in turn, wrote poems based upon our art.
