Moving Pictures, Melissa Ann Mcclure

My thesis work includes 10 large drawings that explore the narrative qualities of line movement. I use line in these drawings as a recording device to document both the physical activity of the process and the personal experience that the lines represent. Through this work I attempt to develop a language of visual imagery that is autobiographical in nature. A system of personal symbols and recurring forms make up the structure of this visual vocabulary. Line movement and rhythm provides a sense of the dialog.
An Exploration Of Some Aspects Of Mystery, Terry Foster Thompson
An Exploration Of Some Aspects Of Mystery, Terry Foster Thompson
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis project consists of twenty-four paintings, drawings and lithographs dealing with three sub-themes of the larger subject of mystery: the mystery of existence; the mystery of religion; the mystery of the unknown. These themes are explored through manipulations of light, color, compositional arrangement and painting and drawing techniques.
Snake River : A Personal Search, Eva Havas Slinker
Snake River : A Personal Search, Eva Havas Slinker
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis includes twenty landscape paintings, primarily oil on canvas, inspired by a trip to the Hell's Canyon Country of the Snake River.
The search for a personal idiom necessitated introspection, and the visual interpretation of the recalled experience required that formal issues of painting be synthesized to communicate the essential response to the landscape. The images progress from the depiction of deep space to compositions of the component parts of the landscape: trees, water, and rock.
Enhanced Realism In The Development Of My Painting, Zifen Qian
Enhanced Realism In The Development Of My Painting, Zifen Qian
Dissertations and Theses
It is a basic truth that the artist must have independent experience and personality in order to create art from life. Combining a traditional realistic style with some elements of abstract composition fits my personality. My paintings represent a pursuit of this idea that is the enhanced realism in the development of my painting.

Things Seen And Remembered, Charlien Dee Fitzpatrick
Things Seen And Remembered, Charlien Dee Fitzpatrick
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis project consists of twenty oil paintings and watercolors. It is a series of visual problems based on work from direct observation as opposed to work from imagination. The concern is to show how the works from observed nature affect the imaginary pieces and how the imaginary works lend unexpected elements to the observed works. With a particular interest in color, visual energy, and painterly form, the project shows how these two avenues of exploration start out separately and eventually blend.

A Harmony Of Opposites, Patricia Reppenhagen
A Harmony Of Opposites, Patricia Reppenhagen
Dissertations and Theses
The central concept of my work is to bring opposing visual elements into harmony with one another. I feel that every aspect of life is composed of contradictory components or forces: order vs. chaos, the beautiful vs. the offensive, work vs. leisure, excitement vs. stability, method vs. chance. The examples are endless. These opposing elements are components in life which need to be balanced against each other to achieve harmony and order, as opposed to strife and conflict. Personally, the need for order and control in my own life is important and, I feel, is reflected in the above classical …

Figure Painting In The High School: Experiments And Recommendations, E. Leonora Perron
Figure Painting In The High School: Experiments And Recommendations, E. Leonora Perron
Dissertations and Theses
My research problem was to experiment with four high school art classes in drawing and painting the figure, to draw conclusions about how they relate to working with the figure, and to recommend methods that appeared to be most successful in broadening viewpoints, developing skills and increasing interest and involvement in art. This problem was selected because teenage students, in the vast majority of cases, have great difficulty in drawing or painting figures and, therefore, strenuously avoid it.
I discovered that a subjective approach that recognizes personal feelings, along with one that requires close looking, seemed to get the most …
