Plot, Meredith F. Conger 2020 Georgia Southern University

Plot, Meredith F. Conger

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

This body of work, Plot, examines the perceptual relationship of the viewer to the landscape that surrounds them through the use of informational paintings that reference, aerial perspective, mark-making and texture. The primary objective of these works is to explore an alternative form of creating contemporary landscape paintings in response to a familiarity with his/her surrounding landscape. As an artist living in middle Georgia, I have always wanted to integrate the subject of landscape into my studio practice.


A Study On The Visual And Verbal Languages Of Typography, Ellyn E. Duncan 2020 Georgia Southern University

A Study On The Visual And Verbal Languages Of Typography, Ellyn E. Duncan

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

It takes a person 0.05 seconds to form a first impression of something new. While first impressions are quick and surface level, they are generally important in the lasting impression developed by the individual. I believe graphic designers have the ability to manipulate the first impression of their work by using the different languages of typography to command the attention of an audience and direct a planned impression. Through the testing and research of this thesis study, I aim to provide examples of how people share common responses and interpretations of visual elements and show that the visual and verbal …


Plausible Expositions With Possible Expeditions, Nikolaus D. James 2020 Georgia Southern University

Plausible Expositions With Possible Expeditions, Nikolaus D. James

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Influenced by video games and cinema, in this body of work, Plausible Expositions with Possible Expeditions, I use objects to create scenarios that suggest a narrative. The scenes are then photographed and displayed through cathode-ray tube televisions and viewers use their own knowledge and ideas about the objects to create that narrative. Each of these objects has is own data set, and the most common have a universal data set—information surrounding the object that is widely recognized, much like how a crowbar is commonly associated with crime. Similar to playing a video game, an algorithm is used when viewing my …


Patterns Of Identity, Tameka S. Phillips 2020 Georgia Southern University

Patterns Of Identity, Tameka S. Phillips

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

People interpret and categorize visual cues not only to create a concept of an identity. We assume who a person is, and what their personality is like, based on these visual cues that are in turn plagued with established norms and biases that can connect or divide. Cultural norms, such as gender, sexuality, race, or political standing can be further expressed visually through textile patterns, motifs, and color. Even so, the many cultural signifiers serve only as clues to a person’s identity that encompasses many different cultural aspects, despite common practice to relate to only one. Through my textile statues, …


Visual Diary As A Tool For Idea Generation For Graphic Design Study Program, Fei Chin Jacqueline Sim 2020 Universiti Malaya

Visual Diary As A Tool For Idea Generation For Graphic Design Study Program, Fei Chin Jacqueline Sim

Student Works (2020-2029)

This research is to explore visual diary as a tool that allows students to express their multiple creative views and their abilities in generating ideas. This tool has been integrated as part of the selected students’ assignments and projects as a practice in the creative arts education. Many of them were taught to sketch, doodle and experiment in different drawing techniques. Nonetheless, many of them are facing the problem of lack of knowledge and understanding in the ideation process. The quantitative research design and procedures were employed in this study. A total of 35 visual diaries were selected, one each …


Piet Mondrian’S Neo-Plastic Compositions (1917-1944) And His Six Principles Of Neo-Plasticism: An Analysis Of His Aesthetic Ideas Based On A Study Of His Essays And Paintings, Ali Fallahzadeh 2020 Universiti Malaya

Piet Mondrian’S Neo-Plastic Compositions (1917-1944) And His Six Principles Of Neo-Plasticism: An Analysis Of His Aesthetic Ideas Based On A Study Of His Essays And Paintings, Ali Fallahzadeh

Student Works (2020-2029)

Amongst the modern artists of the beginning of the 20th century, Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) is considered a pioneer of pure abstract painting. The result of his consistent intuitive experimentations on canvas during the 1910’s was the proposal of his new artistic style in 1919 called Neo-Plasticism, nieuwe beelding in Dutch. Throughout his Neo-Plastic period (1919-1944), he aimed to depict a universal expression of ‘equilibrium’ (new term for harmony) and a vital rhythm among his universal elements of painting called plastic means or means of imaging. Besides being a pure abstract painter, Mondrian was also a prolific writer of …


Design And Operability Of A Pressurized Oxy-Combustion System, Mehrin Chowdhury 2020 University of Texas at El Paso

Design And Operability Of A Pressurized Oxy-Combustion System, Mehrin Chowdhury

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

Fossil fuel powers more than two-thirds of the world’s electricity, a significant share of which is derived from coal power plants. Despite coal being an abundant and energy-rich fuel, the major halt to its progress is greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases are detrimental to the environment. The search for clean fossil fuel leads to the oxy-combustion process. Oxy-fuel combustion produces sequestrable carbon dioxide as exhaust. Pressurization makes carbon capture more accessible and more energy-efficient. Pressurized oxy-combustion cycles can achieve theoretically high thermal efficiencies along with a 90% carbon capture rate. Additionally, the high energy density allows smaller turbomachinery and save …
