Triad: Sculpture Projects Doyle/Gourfain/Leicester, Wright State University Art Galleries

Exhibition and Program Catalogs

The project documented in this catalog were first conceived in early 1978 by Ed Levine, then chairman of the Department of Art and Art History at Wright State University, and Betty Collings, then director of the University Gallery at The Ohio State University in Columbus. Both institutions had, for five years, been sponsoring a variety of exhibitions and experimental projects that probed various aspects of contemporary art. The similarity of goals between the two institutions made this collaborative effort possible.

Each of the three artists visited Dayton and Columbus in the spring of 1979 to survey possible contexts for his …

Influences On The Collage Of Ken Brewer, Ken Brewer

Masters Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze influences exerted on the collage of Ken Brewer by Kurt Schwitters, Robert Rauschenberg, and Alberto Burri, to explain the evolution of Brewer's work, and to serve as a source of ideas for others attempting to work in collage.

In the first three sections of the thesis brief overviews of the work of Schwitters, Rauschenberg, and Burri are presented. Schwitters, a member of the dada school of art, was a pioneer in the use of collage as an art form. He, like other dada artists, rejected the social and artistic values of post …

The Ritual Of Torero, Harbert J. Jones

Masters Theses

The thesis project is to describe the art of bullfighting as a ritual. I discuss term and principles which are pertinent to me, and as a means of artistic self-analysis. The thesis project is to allow an exploration into a traditional form of painting which is a challenge and of practical value to me. In part, the reasoning and mechanics are to be solved. Beginning with the origin of the bullfight I describe the evolutionary state of human courage against animal force. The Spanish had a tremendous influence on the modern art of bullfighting on foot. The difficult thing is …

Felix Vallotton’S Intimites: “Le Cauchemar D’Un Erudit”, Lisa Marie Holst

Honors Papers

At the beginning of the last decade of the nineteenth century, amidst lively experimentation in the graphic arts, there emerged in Paris an artist whose striking woodcuts soon brought him the recognition and the esteem of his contemporaries . Félix Vallotton's woodcuts represented to many a uniquely modern application of the venerable technique of printing from a carved block of wood . Within a year of his first experiments in the medium, Vallotton was highly praised in print by Octave Uzanne in an article entitled "La Renaissance de la gravure sur bois : un néoxylographe" as the progressive figure in …

Ethnic Textile Art Of Tunisia And Its Relation To That Of Morocco, Algeria, And Libya, Irmtraud H. Reswick

Low-Fire Salt-Glazing, Rhonda M. Cearlock

Masters Theses

The purpose for this research was to investigate the feasibility of using rock salt for glazing a clay body at pyromatric cone 04 (1940°F). Four clay bodies were used to see which reacted best with salt at cone 04. Experimentation with additions of borax to the salt were used to see how they effect the covering qualities of each body, as well as how they effect body color.

Engobes used in the tests had different amounts of coloring oxides mixed with clay body number one and water. Colors ranging from light blue, green, and different hues of brown were achieved. …

Woman, A Vehicle Of Visual Expression In Contemporary Times, Tamara C. Bogue

Masters Theses

This paper is a discussion of a woman as a vehicle of visual expression in contemporary times. Certain artists have been selected for the discussion of woman as subject matter and as symbol. An overview is given concerning some trends that have an influence on contemporary society, women in that society, and consequently affect how women have been portrayed. The selected artists were chosen as representatives of "directional types" or "theme types" and some of the implications of their female imagery is discussed. The concept of woman as symbol in her historically recorded debut as fertility figurine ("Willendorf Venus") sets …

Fundamental Aspects Of A Metalsmithing Career, James Walter Johnson

Masters Theses

The major areas of discourse are as follows: 1) What is the most beneficial time for mental orientation toward one's career? 2) What actual steps should be taken along with this orientation? 3) How can the artist go about preparing himself financially for the burdens to be encountered in a craft business? 4) What comprise the major forces in the organization of a metalsmithing studio? 5) What kinds of equipment will the artist need to efficiently ply his trade? …

Technician-Potter Versus Artist-Potter, Diann Marie O'Brien

Masters Theses

It is the intention of this paper to bring to the pottery student an awareness of the concept of technician-potter versus artist-potter.

The introduction defines the technician-potter as one who learns the technical skills involved in pottery making without going further into the creative, artistic aspects of his craft. An artist-potter is described as one who not only masters the technical skills, but also strives to be creative and make personal artistic statements in clay.

A thorough discussion follows concerning technique and the relevance of technical skills to the potter. It is concluded that the potter must master the technical …

Personifying Subliminal Patterns, Brian C. Gran

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

What comes next? 1. - 2. x 3. f 4. * The marks above reflect a certain pattern. The logical answer to the question is "x". In order for a person to solve the problems/he has to implement logical reasoning to formulate a conscious pattern. It is the purpose of this thesis to assert subconscious patterns or subliminal patterns. Entitling it to the effect of "personifying subliminal patterns" means just that -- to give an identity to those patterns that exist below the threshold of one's awareness.

A Thesis Concerned With The Construction Of Impromptu Sculptures Solving Problems Of Equilibrium, Weight, And Movement, Jim Blocker

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

For me the attainment of awareness or understanding through sensory perception (or the act of possessing quick and immediate insight into the dynamics of form and space) is fundamental for spontanous [sic] ideas. To achieve and/or express these feelings and ideas in sculpture requires an automatic and intuitive response. My sculpture is constructed directly and simply using found stock piled materials (wood, rope, glass, steel and sticks). No preplaning or sketching is used. In selecting materials, I have responded to them instinctively, relating shapes, colors, sizes and other personal interests on an intrinsic basis. My intuition exhibits itself spontaneously as …
