Chthonic Power Versus Synthetic Power: Iconography And Color Symbolizing The Female Principle Relative To The Male Principle, Kathryn M. Thorn-Simpson
Chthonic Power Versus Synthetic Power: Iconography And Color Symbolizing The Female Principle Relative To The Male Principle, Kathryn M. Thorn-Simpson
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
The images depict an exploration of an expressive, abstract aesthetic that delineates visual content with symbolism: depicted by color, iconography, and form. The artistic intention underlying the imagery is to evoke emotional awareness of the possibility that chthonic forces of nature—the mysterious life force generated by earth and the universe—in contrast to man-made synthetic powers—technology, science, machines, war, and ideas related to control over nature—are manifested as a dichotomy of experience between female and male; the forces of nature as the female principle and synthetic powers as the male principle. The imaginative elements in the imagery use colors and forms …
Tracing The Cultural Memory In The Rio Grande Valley: Mexican-American Dichos, Proverbs Interpreted Through Art, Jennifer Michele Rodriguez
Tracing The Cultural Memory In The Rio Grande Valley: Mexican-American Dichos, Proverbs Interpreted Through Art, Jennifer Michele Rodriguez
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Conversational phrases, dichos are verbal hallmarks from Mexican-Americans and familiar to the Hispanic culture through different versions. This folk wisdom is exposed through communication, tracing historical accounts of life, love, struggle, and ultimately survival among Mexican-Americans. I have started a series of paintings and collective art pieces focusing on Mexican-American dichos unique and familiar to the Rio Grande Valley. They are a cultural representation of life unique to this area, and combine the recollective spirit from not only myself, but from my family's accounts of these spontaneous conversational phrases.
With influences stemming from the Pop Art period, specifically Roy Lichtenstein …
Audrey Flack's Vanitas Series: A Dbae Perspective, Lee Anna W. Collins
Audrey Flack's Vanitas Series: A Dbae Perspective, Lee Anna W. Collins
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Art is a subject that encourages children to think critically, solve problems creatively, make evaluations, work within groups, and appreciate a variety of different points of view. These skills are particularly suited to a discussion of Audrey Flack’s vanitas series. An original and ambitious artist, her motivational canvases are full of vivid colors, historical references, and popular imagery.
Discipline-Based Art Education or DBAE is a comprehensive approach to instruction and learning in art which incorporates four foundational disciplines in art — art production, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics. Education in these disciplines contributes to the creation, understanding and appreciation …
The Language Of Art: A Conversation Between Henri Matisse And Pablo Picasso, Marisa Jones Hooser
The Language Of Art: A Conversation Between Henri Matisse And Pablo Picasso, Marisa Jones Hooser
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
This study focuses on the dialog between Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso and lays a unique groundwork for instructors in Discipline-Based art education (DBAE). Using two artists, rather than one, it reveals the importance of the basic art elements in a comparative analysis and stylistic variation of both. The art of Matisse and Picasso was intertwined even before their first meeting as it continued to be even after Matisse’s death. It is popular belief that Matisse and his work influenced Picasso’s career, but surprisingly little attention has focused on the influence of Picasso on Matisse’s work or, more specifically, on …

Therapeutic Process Or Final Product? Views Of Artists Compared To Those Of Art Therapists, Katy Durler
Therapeutic Process Or Final Product? Views Of Artists Compared To Those Of Art Therapists, Katy Durler
Honors Theses
When someone approaches a piece of art, it is difficult to speculate by what standards the person evaluates the work. Surely people's backgrounds and personal tastes affect their reaction to a particular art piece, but suppose that a person evaluated art every day as part of his or her career. Do the standards of the job affect the person's method of evaluating art outside the office? Two professions that focus on the evaluation of art are art education and art therapy. In order to better understand the two fields in question, a basic knowledge of the development of expressionism in …

Trace And The Makers Of Meaning, Lindon J. Thompson
Trace And The Makers Of Meaning, Lindon J. Thompson
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
One of the greatest accessible records of trace and the past is the landscape, which over time acts as a repository of evidence from natural forces and things that humans have created or changed. This thesis considers trace as material and nonmaterial evidence, remnants, marks, vestiges of events past and forgotten or remembered. How can a past that is evidenced only by its traces be read within a landscape context by disciplines of knowledge production? The subsequent interpretation, generation of meaning and understanding of traces contributes to the knowledge, mythology and perceptions of reality for differing groups in different places. …

Theses
This project looks at the changing environment in terms of the approach to the Visual Arts curriculum at Primary School level. It aims to provide an innovative solution to the art appreciation area, which is being given equal status with the art creation area, which traditionally has been the main focus of the curriculum.
The Project includes a review of the curricular climate, both at home and abroad. In this context it focusses particularly on the role of Information Technology in addressing access problems from those living remote from major population, and therefore major artistic centres.
Primary Research included involved …
