Setting The Nutritional Agenda: An Analysis Of Nutrition Blog Sourcing, Shana Meganck

Theses and Dissertations

This research study analyzed the sources of nutrition blog information as measured by frequency and type of sources used by nutrition bloggers.

Burning House Art Exhibit, Daniel Baugh

Undergraduate Research Conference

The unique blending of raw, figurative abstractions and a timeless illustrative style stand at the core of our work. This was a conscious effort to seek out the newest and boldest works in the field, created by Texas artists. Inspiration is derived from everyday life experiences. We are relying on the improvisational emergence of creating. The work as a whole reflects a pursuit of presenting expressive ideas and capturing emotion in a two dimensional format. From each canvas, panel and brush stroke, release emotions, ideas, and uniue perceptions just for you, the viewer.

An Explanation Of Mannerisms, Emilie Gaultier

Undergraduate Research Conference

I have found through sociological research and observation that body language defines how people perceive us. The importance of the first handshake, the manner we bring our hands together while talking, or the way students use their fist to rest on their chin while in class -- all these mannerisms explain to the potential employer, the vivid listener, or the professor how we feel without consciously knowing it. The purpose of my work is to expand awareness to professionals towards implications of their presented body language.

Press €˜A’ To Speak: Videogames As A Storytelling Medium, Brian Banta '13

Honor Scholar Theses

How can we study games? Any attempt will require a scholar to be well versed in multiple methods. In order to adequately analyze and unpack a game we need to consider questions of literary theory, film theory, and play. This introductory section will serve as the foundation for my analysis of three case study games. I will briefly give an overview of my analytical method of choice, ludology, and then explain how it relates to narrative.

Wandergesellen Waltz On, Liisa Silander, Risd Xyz

RISD XYZ Spring/Summer 2013: Crisscrossing Cultures

[Wandergesellen] is a way of life that points to the distant past – to medieval artisans travelling from village to village to practice and perfect their craft, bringing their skills where they were needed most. But for Eugene (Yevgent) Gladun 00 GD, the world of wandergesellen – or German journeymen – is more relevant than ever.

The Ambiguous Graveyard: Religious Sympathy And Erotic Desire In Sir John Everett Millais's The Vale Of Rest, Greg W. Spangler

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work

The Vale of Rest, 1859, despite or because of its oddities—two nuns digging a grave—was in its own day understood as a touchstone for Sir John Everett Millais and his career. Its critical reception in 1859 was hostile, with charges of “ugliness,” but by 1897, it was hanging in the Tate museum. Scholars and biographers have accordingly seen it as a turning point in Millais’s abandonment of Pre-Raphaelite realism for a more aestheticized and bourgeois style. The subject of nuns has led other scholars to investigate Millais’s sympathies with the Oxford Movement, the midcentury effort to reform the Anglican …

Constructions, Sean Ryan Larson

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work

I have always been drawn to investigating the nature of ambiguous objects; objects whose role is unclear; objects that fall between distinct categories, and that exist in what appears to be transitional stages. The pieces I make provoke the imagination by building in experimental self-defined systems that refer to contemporary architecture, as well as comment on the ceramic and non-ceramic process. My pieces vary in form and intention just as the skyline carries changes in form and order. I want to make experimental objects that develop in front of me from the ground up, without a pre-planned result. Using fundamental …
