Creatress: A Woman's Hand, Susan Isherwood Gibbs
Legacy ETDs
Using stylized and abstracted sculptural interpretations of She—Great Mother, Mother Nature, Earth Goddess, Creatress, Gaia, female sexuality, and the feminine aspects of nature; a wide range of differing chemicals and temperatures for the development of various clay bodies; and a vivid color palette to reflect ideas, feelings, and moods, I present a story of woman as metaphor for Earth and nature, an immense organic, ecological, and conscious whole. Incorporating found objects (natural and manmade) and fibers (organic and synthetic) with my clay imagery, I offer an awareness of the roles ofwomen from around the world in the spiritual and psychological …

Theses : Honours
The research encompasses an analysis of Paradigms of practice, material as content, historical precedents, social and political conditions relative to the project themes and corresponding theoretical discourse. It reflects issues of domesticity and familial relationships, memory, narrative and the use of specific materials and methods sympathetic to these concerns. Aspects of the practices of Eva Hesse and Marcel Duchamp have been considered to contextualise and differentiate the creative work. The research also attempts to define and position the artworks through relative critical evaluation of contemporary art practices.

A Functional Interpretation Of Pottery From Batan Island, Philippines, Joanne M. Laetsch
A Functional Interpretation Of Pottery From Batan Island, Philippines, Joanne M. Laetsch
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis is a report on a pottery analysis which was carried out in the laboratory of the Department of Anthropology at Portland State University. The earthenware materials involved were collected from three surface sites on Batan Island, Philippines, during the summer of 1969.
The interpretation of these potteries was based upon the direct-historical approach to archaeological research. The use of this method was proposed after a cursory examination of the earthenwares revealed certain general similarities between the archaeological potteries and the ethnographically-known wares produced in the area at the present time. One of the sites was a known habitation, …
Experiments In The Decorative Process Of Salt-Glazing, James A. Thornsbury
Experiments In The Decorative Process Of Salt-Glazing, James A. Thornsbury
All Master's Theses
It is the purpose of this study to explore the process of salt-glazing and to develop a representative range of colored salt glazes by the application of soluble and insoluble metallic salts to the surface of the clay bodies. Varying percentages of clay forming constituents and metallic salts were tested to determine their effects on the range and characteristics of the colors obtained, and the ability of the clay body to take a salt-glaze. Firing techniques, kiln atmosphere control, and salting procedures were studied to determine their effects on the color of both clay and glaze, the ability of the …

A Series Of Intaglio And Mixed-Media Prints Portraying The Negative Consequences Resulting From Man's Inhumanitarian Actions, Susan Clare Miller
All Master's Theses
It is the purpose of this study (1) to portray in visual, graphic form the negative consequences resulting from inhumanitarian acts man inflicts upon himself and others; (2) to delineate these actions in a revealing, subtle manner that is still representative of the facts of reality; (3) to experiment with a diverse range of intaglio printmaking techniques and compositional arrangements which best produce the visual, emotional effects desired.
A Comparative Study Of Two Methods Of Teaching Art At The Fourth Grade Level, Mary Carroll Nelson
A Comparative Study Of Two Methods Of Teaching Art At The Fourth Grade Level, Mary Carroll Nelson
Art & Art History ETDs
It was the purpose of this study to compare the effects of visual, technical instructions on the creativity and technical mastery demonstrated in the art work of a fourth grade class. The experimental group received verbal stimulation and verbal instructions plus visual instructions of technical nature. The control group received the same verbal stimulation and verbal instructions without the visual instructions. The art products from both classes were submitted to a panel of judges for a rating on, (1) whether there were observable differences between the groups in creativity and technical mastery, and (2) if there were, which group excelled …
