The Infinite Crisis: How The American Comic Book Has Been Shaped By War, 2021 Chapman University
The Infinite Crisis: How The American Comic Book Has Been Shaped By War, Winston Andrus
War, Diplomacy, and Society (MA) Theses
This thesis project argues that war has been the greatest catalyst for the American comic book medium to become a socio-political change agent within western society. Comic books have become one of the most pervasive influences to global popular culture, with superheroes dominating nearly every popular art form. Yet, the academic world has often ignored the comic book medium as a niche market instead of integrated into the broader discussions on cultural production and conflict studies. This paper intends to bridge the gap between what has been classified as comic book studies and the greater academic world to demonstrate the …
Chaos And Control, 2021 The University of New Orleans
Chaos And Control, Hilary E. Dugas
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
My anxiety, compulsions, and drive to control my surroundings inspires my work and at times hinders my process. I want to control every aspect of life, and the system of marks are symbolic of this. Printmaking permits me to express the area between control and lack of control, as the processes can be revised from beginning to end. My prints are composed of symbolic marks, which I create from objects that represent my compulsions and spiraling thoughts. The repetition of this indirect medium mimics my compulsive behaviors.
I convey repetitive motion, obsessive thoughts, and actions within my prints by overlapping …
Devastation Experienced When Two Individuals Stop Kissing One Another, 2021 University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Devastation Experienced When Two Individuals Stop Kissing One Another, Isaiah Jones
School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work
The work in Devastation Experienced When Two Individuals Stop Kissing One Another is an excavation of the private self in relation to love and desire and an exploration of the chaos that ensues in their passage. Desire describes a state of attachment to a person, an object, or an idea. It produces a cloud of optimism between that which is desired and she who is full of desire . It presses against need, the obsessive 1 phenomena of all amorous sentiment, and in its dissolution, total devastation ensues2. With this work, I explore my own desires, observations, uncertainty, and anger, …
The Line Of Dichotomy: Standpoints And Meaning In Anne Truitt's Art, 2021 William & Mary
The Line Of Dichotomy: Standpoints And Meaning In Anne Truitt's Art, Charles J. Parsons
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Some of Anne Truitt’s formal strategies—such as using the separate faces of the work to force the viewer to engage in it sequentially—build or depend on real or literal facts of the “situation” of the artwork. If this is the case, how do such works escape being reducible to their objecthood, their literal properties of size and shape? And how do they produce effects that are not mere experience or mere affective response? The answer I offer is that they depend on conventions and interpretation.
Much of my analysis focuses on the ways Truitt makes her intentions visible through form, …

Iterative Screen Printing: Finding Tactile Respite Within Remote Collaboration, Mercedes Schrenkeisen, Rae Baitx, Robin Goodwin
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
This presentation details the formation of “Good Baloney”— a non-exclusive print club motivated by burn-out and the need for fulfilling forms of remote collaboration. Our solution was a generative design ‘machine’ fit for printmaking that leaves the initial ideation procedure up to chance. This project is an ongoing exploration and love-letter to collaborative printmaking and was founded on principles of resource-sharing, remote process, tactile modes of creation.

Popping (Post)Modernism: Joaquín Torres-Garcia & Latin America's Pop Art Movement, 2021 Claremont Colleges
Popping (Post)Modernism: Joaquín Torres-Garcia & Latin America's Pop Art Movement, Alexandra Branscom
Scripps Senior Theses
Even though the canon of Western Art History has attributed the Pop movement to the US and the UK, artists from around the world have made significant contributions to pop art and formed their own Pop movements. This includes the Latin American pop artists Felipe Ehrenberg (Mexican), Antonio Henrique Amaral (Brazilian), and Juan Dávila (Chilean), who, between the years 1968 and 1974, fled right-wing political unrest of their respective home countries and gained artistic education in dominant, imperialistic countries. These artists subvert the capitalistic, adverting language of pop art to promote the localized political sensibilities of their home countries and …
Typemaking, 2021 The University of Akron
Typemaking, Rebekah Sorensen
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The objective of this project is an exploration of typemaking—an analysis including the development of letterforms to the various methods in printing these forms, including the rich history behind these developments—which ultimately results in the form of communication known as graphic design. Research begins with the history of print processes and evolving typographic styles, providing a comprehensive understanding of how typography has been applied as a means of communication, and the benefits to society throughout time. The information is then applied through the digital design of letterpress type, followed by the physical production of these pieces using a range of …
Replicant, 2021 Minnesota State University, Mankato
Replicant, John Grabko
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Artist Statement
This body of work explores technology throughout modern history into today, and how it affects society and the people within. There are many sides to technological innovation, and as time goes on it also changes our own priorities; even how we choose to either reject reality or intensify the effects of mass consumerism. Technology can also change the way we look at currency itself, surprise us with an unexpected reality or change what we view as beauty. Within this work I utilize drawing, printmaking, and collage to visualize our observed reality, the implications of the decisions we make, …
Together | Apart: Printmaking And The Space Between, 2021 The University of Notre Dame Australia
Together | Apart: Printmaking And The Space Between, Monique Bosshard Curby
Theses
In this practice-led creative research, being both artist and identical twin, I examine sameness and difference in the relationships between two people and between multiple objects/creative works. Through the inherent ability of printmaking processes to produce multiples and the attendant installation opportunities created by punctuated space, I unfold and re-tell a doubled and ambiguous understanding of being in the world. Martin Heidegger’s notion of Being-in-the-world (Dasein) underpins and situates my understanding of being in the world, thrown into a world as an individual, and my existence as a double: being in the world with others. I relate his thinking through …
