Photographic Imagery As A Source For Iconography In Painting And Drawing, Eric Peder Brakken
Photographic Imagery As A Source For Iconography In Painting And Drawing, Eric Peder Brakken
All Master's Theses
Any verbalization of an artistic statement is by its very nature, an inadequate interpretation. However, I feel there is some merit in a concise declaration of my general concepts in the study. This paper represents a summation of the concepts and directions involved in my studio investigation in painting and drawing.
Specifically, it is within the scope of man's altered and effected perception of reality that I have based the studio research.
Mark's Art And Bridge Construction, J. Mark Erlander
Mark's Art And Bridge Construction, J. Mark Erlander
All Master's Theses
Plactic is the material I chose to communicate my ideas. Named for its ability to be shaped, melted, bent, moulded, and extruded into an infinite number of forms, is one of two reasons I used it. The other is its concept is familiar to modern man and even a definition of him.
To make the communication bridge complete the stulptures are constructed to allow the viewer to take part in the final form. By moving the work, he is as involved in the concept, form, and material as I have been in making the piece.

Images And Content, Robert C. Ellis Jr.
All Master's Theses
My primary purpose in this study was to explore the relationship of symbolism, imagery, and concept as they relate to printmaking and drawing. The techniques used in my work were collagraph printmaking, drawing, "painting-drawing", and three-dimensional construction. These works represent my development over a period of five quarters. As a result of this study, I expect that my perception and use of imagery, concepts and technique will continue to develop.

Sources For Neo-Satirical Drawings: Surrealist And Conceptual Processes, Douglas C. Brittain
Sources For Neo-Satirical Drawings: Surrealist And Conceptual Processes, Douglas C. Brittain
All Master's Theses
This study was concerned with social conunent and the intensity of emotional expression. The work was not intended to be a sociological study with illustrations, nor as an over-literate approach to art, but rather as a study of fine art problems. The problems and questions raised were as follows: (1) How are contradictions resolved when strict definitions of fine art and caricature are combined in drawing? (2) How are surrealist and conceptual processes integrated with biomorphic and mechanical forms? (2) What are the possible symbols and techniques for expressing ideas and emotions about the "mechano-organic" theme? This study was intended …

Investigations In Mixed-Media Printmaking, Jarold H. Powell
All Master's Theses
The device man uses to transport himself is one of his dearest possessions and one of his biggest problems. The relationship between man and his machine is the basis for the content of this thesis. Since walking became impractical, men have grown dependent physically, emotionally, psychologically, economically, and socially on a personal means of transportation. My own ideas and experiences are the source for the content of this series of works.
