An Exploration Into Aspects Of Broken Color As Exemplified In The Works Of The Impressionists And Neo-Impressionists And The Application Of These Theories Within Painting Experiences Of The Adolescent Student, Frank Edwin Handy

Dissertations and Theses

I. Statement of Research Problem.

The research was an exploration into the broken color technique within the paintings of the Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists and the application of their techniques within the painting experiences of the adolescent student.

II. Resume of the Data.

The application of pure pigment directly, without blending, constitutes one of the major aims of the Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists.

A Ritualized Approach To A Series Of Mixed Media Watercolor Paintings, Richard K. Miller

All Master's Theses

The thesis problem involved the development of a series of watercolor paintings within a ritualistic format; the standardization of approach resulted in the development of a personal iconography. This iconography was secondary to the total work however. The thesis involved the development of a series of paintings with identical preparations and preliminary developmental stages, all of which, at a certain point in development, became totally dependent regarding further work on an intuitive development and a reliance upon epiphanic insights for completion.

The City, Lee Merriwether Clark

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis is composed of five oil paintings and four synthetic paintings. The works are arranged in a sequence beginning with distant over views of the city and progressing toward more immediate views. Techniques change also, from the suggestive impressionistic mode, a style I explored in my early years of art education, to a studied application of large, solid, simplified shapes of color. In my work, realism is sacrificed for a decorative arrangement of color patterns.

From this creative experience I have reached conclusions about art education and my responsibility as an art instructor. Motivation is essential when introducing all …

Seven Paintings: A Personal Search For An Ethical Consciousness, Dennis Myron Dake

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Success as an artist is dependent on the development of an ethical consciousness. The seven paintings which make up the thesis may reflect this awareness or ethical consciousness. The written comments are included to supplement and amplify the information communicated by the seven paintings of the thesis. The values that make up an ethical consciousness are not absolute, they are constantly being sought. This writing deals with that continuing search. Ethical consciousness is described here as consisting of three basic elements; appropriate attitude development, predisposition to accept the adventure of exploring the unknown, and sensitivity in dealing with all aspects …

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this thesis is to describe verbally a series of personal involvements in painting.

Two major questions which evolved over this period of years form the body of the thesis. The first question was, am I working with a medium which can best reflect my personal aims? The second, could I solve the problems of color within the medium of painting to my own satisfaction? While searching for the answers …

A Series Of Original Paintings In Water Soluble Paint Employing Mixed Media And Experimental Techniques, E. Wayne Swanson

All Master's Theses

This thesis was a creative investigation of mixed media using water soluble paints in order to further develop experimental techniques. Painting was limited to watercolor pigments, tempera, polymer tempera, acrylics, Elmer's glue, water, ink stick, or other materials that relate to water soluble media. The development of the problem helped the candidate to draw conclusions about the technique, development, application, and experimentation of this mixed media. This study was written so that one can understand the terminology and investigation procedures and use this as a departure point for further study using water soluble mixed media.

The Investigation Of Figure-Ground Relationships In Painting, Barbara H. Jones

All Master's Theses

The thesis problem involved the investigation of figure-ground relationships in painting. This study dealt with varying experiments in space, color relationships, the juxtaposition of form, and value relationships. The media used were those common to oil, watercolor and drawing. The investigation entailed the development of form and space relationships in a series of paintings. The study included a critical evaluation regarding achievement of the expressive aims, and the conclusions drawn from individual paintings, as well as from the series. The fundamental locus lay within the figure-ground relationship and that has been the emphasis.

A Series Of Original Prints With The Human Image As An Important Compositional Element, John Paul Morgan

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study to investigate and explore the use of the human image as a compositional element in a series of original prints. All of the available printmaking techniques within the knowledge of this artist were called upon to best express concepts and forms which he desired to portray. Three avenues of approach were used in the development of the print: (1) Transferring sketches made directly from the nude model onto the plate and developing the plate for the appropriate form of printmaking, (2) Developing the printmaking plate intuitively without sketches or preplanning, and (3) Planning …

Intaglio Printmaking In The Secondary School, James Lester Wylder

Dissertations and Theses

There is a wealth of printed material on intaglio printmaking techniques and history, but there is relatively little printed material or work directed towards the inclusion of intaglio printmaking in the secondary school art curriculum. It is my basic assertion in this thesis that intaglio printmaking can be taught with success at the secondary level.

The thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter is concerned with the purpose, value, and application of intaglio printmaking in a secondary school art program. The second chapter identifies the materials, the cost of materials, and the sources of supply. Chapter three deals with …

The Development Of A Clay Body With Compatible Glaze Formulae, Nancy Travers

Dissertations and Theses

There are two aims in this thesis: the first is to ascertain something of the physical and chemical properties of clay and glazes and how to handle and control them. A project such as the development of a clay body and glaze formulae serves to isolate the various functions of the materials and give a clear understanding as to their use and potentials. This enables one to visualize and manipulate materials creatively with a reliable prediction as to their behavior. Spencer Moseley in Art Education supports this, saying: "The quality of a man’s production depends upon (1) the idea, the …

The Corporate Image Of Utah State University, Jon I. Anderson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the past four years it has been easy to see that there has been no art direction in the visual communications of Utah State University. Recently the university has become aware of the importance of a good public relations program and has taken steps in that direction. Very little thought has been given to the visual design of these public relations though. Advertising gives information, plants ideas, and provokes interest in a service and company, but it must be designed well to be noticed. Corporate image includes many things, but I shall only deal with the visual or graphic …
