Evening Incident, Patty Lewis 2015 Butler University

Evening Incident, Patty Lewis

Manuscripts

SHE SAT ON the steps, idly digging her feet into the 10 in front of her. She watched with satisfaction as the ground brown of her shoes became streaked and dusty from the glossy earth sifting over them, She wondered whether anyone Sandy reprimand her. Her dress was wilted and a little damp from the summer heat.

Unmonumental Moment, Amy Holbein 2015 Winthrop University

Unmonumental Moment, Amy Holbein

Graduate Theses

This thesis statement investigates the coexistence of joy with grief, light alongside darkness, and the intersection of the divine with the ordinary, as they express themselves in my thesis “Unmonumental Moment.” In it, painting merges with sculptural forms to create a three-dimensional work that addresses the idea of duality. The exhibit is marked by the on going common elements in my work, namely the use of a saturated color palette, the incorporation of papier-maché with everyday detritus, dream imagery, and portals alluding to a parallel spiritual world. This statement analyzes the thesis components and examines them in light of art …


Michelangelo's Last Judgement: A Crisis Of Conscience, Ana Schnellmann 2015 Lindenwood University

Michelangelo's Last Judgement: A Crisis Of Conscience, Ana Schnellmann

Student Scholarship

Michelangelo, that fascinating Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, and architect has been a source of wonder and intrigue since his own times. Vasari refers to Michelangelo’s birth as a gift from the gods, and Athos writes “In his own time, it was said that Michelangelo’s work rivaled God’s, and his force and authority are still overwhelming.” Indeed, the power of Michelangelo is still great. People flock from around the globe to marvel at his marbles. The David, the Pieta, the Bacchus, and many others are sculptures so beautiful that the marble seems to breathe, to break out of their …


Measuring School Accountability: Perceptions From Teachers, Principals, And Superintendents, Keith Thomas Bush 2015 Indiana State University

Measuring School Accountability: Perceptions From Teachers, Principals, And Superintendents, Keith Thomas Bush

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to identify the multiple factors that are utilized by accountability models and to identify the perceptions of Indiana educators in regard to what these professional educators believe should be utilized to assess school accountability. No Child Left Behind and the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) accountability model frameworks have had an impact on all public schools in the United States. Under AYP, high stakes testing results are utilized to provide acknowledgement to schools that meet pre-established thresholds, as well as to provide consequences for schools that fail to meet these requirements.

The Influence Of Peer Educators In A First-Year Seminar On Freshman Preparation For Collegiate Challenges: A Qualitative Investigation Of Observational Learning, Sarah A. Forbes 2015 Indiana State University

The Influence Of Peer Educators In A First-Year Seminar On Freshman Preparation For Collegiate Challenges: A Qualitative Investigation Of Observational Learning, Sarah A. Forbes

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Most high school students have not spent deliberate time preparing for their transition to college. Knowing this, institutions have developed a first-year seminar geared toward transitional issues inherent to a specific institution. While the research on these programs illustrates their utility, there appears to be an opportunity to further their success by incorporating peers as educators in the classroom. Bandura (1986) saw the potential of observational learning through peer modeling, though few researchers have studied first-year seminars from this theoretical perspective. Through a postpositivistic philosophical paradigm, this exploratory qualitative study utilized a phenomenological design to investigate two research questions: what …


Appropriation And The Art Of The Copy, Elizabeth K. Mix 2015 Butler University

Appropriation And The Art Of The Copy, Elizabeth K. Mix

Scholarship and Professional Work – Arts

This essay focuses on why and how copying occurs within the field of visual art and identifies shifts in the perception of the role of copying over time as indicated by changing terminology. Copies are ubiquitous in our culture today. They are especially prevalent on the Internet in the form of mash-ups and memes. While appropriation (the quoting or borrowing of an earlier artist's work or style) is generally considered a postmodern strategy, the practice has, in fact, a long and complicated history that includes the tradition of academic copying (a method of artistic training whereby students copy the works …

Creative Expression And Dementia, Danielle A. Lavee-Dixon 2015 Dominican University of California

Creative Expression And Dementia, Danielle A. Lavee-Dixon

Senior Theses

Art is the expression or application of human creative skills using that individual’s imagination. While most often taught amongst young people, I believe that art is a tool that can be used at all ages to promote reflection, pleasure, and personal passions. As a way to investigate the benefits of artistic expression amongst different groups of people, I have focused on the rewards achieved with art practiced by individuals living with dementia. Highlighting the difficulties a patient with dementia may encounter, and some of the benefits art can have on those patients; I was able to create art workshops that …
