Seeing The Sacred, Emily Potter
Seeing The Sacred, Emily Potter
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Seeing the Sacred is a multidisciplinary arts project exploring the purposes of sacred art and its relationship with community identity. The project highlights three common purposes of sacred art: to represent a worldview, to express identities as members of a community, and to connect with something bigger than ourselves. This Capstone Experience/Thesis Project developed through an intersection of three primary interests: visual art, community engagement, and religious studies. This project includes an overview of the CE/T’s origins and evolution, a written analysis of research goals and experiences, a review of relevant literature, a series of related artwork, and a collaborative …

Man To Man, Chadric Devin Harms
Man To Man, Chadric Devin Harms
School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work
In athletics, the phrase “man-to-man” refers to a type a defense: one where a single player is paired against another individual. They are in constant competition, and as rivals they relentlessly compare themselves to one another. This colloquial expression, which I use as the title of my thesis, also draws attention to the gendered term “man” as a social construction and signifies the diversity and complexity that exists between one representation of masculinity and another.
Throughout my childhood I felt an overwhelming responsibility and pressure from my stepfather and the small, Midwestern community in which I grew up to participate …
The Art Of Censorship, Mark Sieber
The Art Of Censorship, Mark Sieber
Geifman Prize in Holocaust Studies
This work seeks to show a similarity between censorship of Art in Nazi Germany and the censorship of John Adam’s The Death of Klinghoffer. By analyzing historical facts surrounding Nazi policy and comparing them against criticisms of Klinghoffer, a connection is found. Censoring a work of art, regardless of its message, is detrimental not only to the art itself, but also to the culture, voice, and ideas it represents.
Landscape Painting: A Comprehensive Study Of En Plein Air And Studio Painting, Carly Brock
Landscape Painting: A Comprehensive Study Of En Plein Air And Studio Painting, Carly Brock
Summer Research
Landscape painting reflects humankind's perception of the world around it. During the 18th century, most landscapes were idealized scenes that enforced mankind's control over nature. It was not until the end of the 19th century that artists began painting landscapes more subjectively. Through summer research, I was given the opportunity to further explore my own perception of landscape, while comparing the two methods of en plein air ("in the open air") and studio painting.

Perspective On South Dakota Women In Fine And Traditional Arts, Leda Cempellin
Perspective On South Dakota Women In Fine And Traditional Arts, Leda Cempellin
School of Design Faculty Publications
The steady increase of women’s contribution to the visual arts in South Dakota, especially in recent decades, makes it impossible to celebrate all the individual accomplishments in the space of a chapter. Therefore, the following sections will limit the discourse to a choice of a few significant patterns of contribution to the arts and crafts in South Dakota. To begin, an historical overview of Lakota and European immigrant arts and influence are discussed, including women’s key influences on arts education in the state. Then, the expansion of traditional arts through NEA apprenticeship programming is described through the work of current …

Programs and Brochures
This brochure lists art purchased through the building fund or donated to the Weitz CEC. The core collection was acquired through a competitive process open to UNO faculty, staff, students, and local area artists. A committee comprised of art and design professionals and university volunteers selected works that represent both the individual artist’s interpretation of the Weitz CEC vision and the collective talent of Omaha’s vibrant visual arts community.
Art As A Tool To Communicate Science, Jillian Pelto
Art As A Tool To Communicate Science, Jillian Pelto
Honors College
My thesis explores effective ways to communicate science through art. My main goal is to illustrate significant environmental issues in a way that engages people emotionally, as well as intellectually. Researchers need a means of sharing fascinating things to broaden people’s horizons on science. In order to gain inspiration and ideas, I have researched and discussed a wide range of artists, past and present. This exploration has fueled the content of the body of artwork I have developed throughout this project.
