A Crack In Everything, 2012 University of Central Florida
A Crack In Everything, Jeffrey Hoffman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Contained herein is a close examination of self-awareness and self-portraiture as it applies to the works of artist Jeffrey Hoffman. Water, frozen into various forms and combined with natural elements of wood, slowly melt over an indeterminable amount of time, each droplet documented as the process transforms the elements. Through this process, we see change. We see time. We see truth. This documentation of change and time through natural elements is where the artwork comes full circle. Working with new media to explore man's interconnectivity to life, energy, and the cosmos, he produces time based installations, photographs, videos, and sculptures …
Taxidermy Of Thought, 2012 Governors State University
Taxidermy Of Thought, Jason Walker
Art Theses
Sculpture is how I bring to life the dark corners of my mind. There have always been images of creatures, geology, and botanical life swirling around my head. Images that often include spires of exoskeleton, creeping tendrils searching for sustenance, or something that moves in an unnatural way. After years of envisioning and automatically sketching out these "things" it is beginning to get a bit crowded in there. It was time to excise this world in my mind and bring it into existence through my hands.
Using many different materials, including plaster, wire, paper mache, epoxy, urethane resins, many different …
Pencil Pushed: Exploring Process And Boundaries In Drawing (Exhibition Catalogue), 2012 The University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Pencil Pushed: Exploring Process And Boundaries In Drawing (Exhibition Catalogue), Sam Yates, Creighton Michael, Barbara Macadam
Ewing Gallery of Art & Architecture
In Pencil Pushed, the word pencil functions simply as a metaphor or symbol for drawing and its activity. The selected artists are known for their drawing or drawing activity as their primary means of expression and have either pushed the material, process, or boundary of conventional drawing. Media included video, sculpture, animation, installation, and of course, works on paper. This exhibition is neither a survey nor the definitive grouping of mark-making artists. It is more a conversation about artists who have and continue to explore these regions in drawing.
Featured artists in Pencil Pushed are: William Anastasi, William Pittman Andrews, …

A Typology For Fremont Figurines, 2011 Brigham Young University
A Typology For Fremont Figurines, Adreanne Potts
Student Works
Many scholars and observes have noted the similarities between Fremont-attributed rock art and Fremont anthropomorphic clay figurines. An established Fremont rock art typology has been recognized yet no typology has been created to categorize and describe Fremont figurines. Although some of the characteristics utilized to describe Fremont rock art apply to Fremont anthropomorphic clay figurines, the limits of unfired clay as a medium to represent the human figure, give the figurines unique characteristics distinct from the rock art types.

Olympia, Reinventing The Nude, 2010 Lindenwood University
Olympia, Reinventing The Nude, Holly Mcguire
Student Scholarship
Manet’s modernist depiction of the female nude as seen in Olympia sent shockwaves throughout the art world and forever changed the way we view nudes. Camille Lemonnier described the nude as such in 1870 “ The nude was modesty only if it is not a transitory state. It hides nothing because there is nothing to hide. The moment it hides something it becomes prurient, for in reality it shows it all the better. In order to stay virgin the nude in art must be impersonal and must not particularize; art has no need of a beauty spot upon the neck …
