This investigation is intended to give form and contrast of body and mind, as a state of "being" and "becoming". The physical body of work was created from subjective associations based on the notion of "being". The purpose of this investigation is to give meaning to the notion of "being" through the comprehension of both aspects of human nature and nature enabling me as a sculpture, to comprehend and balance technical efficiency with conceptual insight.

Painter's Wilderness, Eddie Peters
Dissertations and Theses
Painter's Wilderness is a transition between painting strictly from imagination to painting with the use of drawings and sketches to interpret and authenticate an observation. The transition became an exploration of value patterns, compositional shapes and color correspondence in building a technically successful painting while allowing the piece to have its own life.
Jewelry From The Environment, Douglas Lawrence Kollmeyer
Jewelry From The Environment, Douglas Lawrence Kollmeyer
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis deals with the development of a body of my own creative work and the teaching of jewelry-working in the secondary schools. Emphasis in both instances was given to the use of the natural environment as a stimulus for design ideas. The philosophy of nature as art forms has been the focus of my creative endeavors for several years. This lead to the design and completion of jewelry, flatware, and holloware in this study. Knowledge gained in my work experiences formed the basis and background of the presentation of these skills to secondary students.
