Crafting Content: Searching For The Individual In Craft Making, Megan Marie Hosch

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

My creative thesis is a visual exhibition exploring the genre of craft in fine art and investigating the relationship of craft making to the artist. I am personally and professionally involved in craft making due to its strong presence in my identity as an artist, a woman and educator. As a child, I was a paper weaving master, dedicated to coloring inside lines, painting by numbers, and carefully following the cross-stitch patterns. However, during my undergraduate studies in art education, I steered clear from re-enacting earlier activities involving craft making. My ideas about craft making were easily conformed to the …

Throughout the workshops, the young participants each made a full expressive mask, learnt how to perform in different mask styles, developed a character and took part in a small performance at their school. I employed a performance ethnography methodology and utilised methods such as participant observation, structured interviews …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As a graphic designer, my goal is to clearly express my clients' message to their intended audience. Based on the diversity of my clients and their products and services, finding a consistent style in my projects might be difficult, although there are usually some typical traits. With examples of my work and dialogue from leaders in the graphic design industry, I intend to point out a common thread that runs through all successful design projects, regardless of the projects' designer, era, or individual design elements (e.g., typography, copywriting, color, layout, imagery). Success comes from graphic design's ability to gain attention …

Constructing The Robert Kingsley Papers., Heidi Caudill

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is a documentation of my efforts to organize the Robert Kingsley Papers held in the Margaret M. Bridwell Art Library at the University of Louisville.
