A Series Of Paintings Investigating Certain Specified Space Concepts, Michael C. Jackson

All Master's Theses

This thesis is devoted only to that work considered completely investigated: a portrait/figure series of seven paintings. In addition, the series of works with which this thesis is devoted essentially follow this format: large areas of architectural space and color versus a natural object- -a portrait figure. A play or conflict was set up between these two things; the success of the play determined the success of the painting. The factors used to judge success are basically those classical rules of composition dealing with balance: visual weight of areas, complexity, and color. The only areas manipulated were: (1) shape of …

A Use Of The Visual Metaphor: The Relationship Between The Figure To The Environment, Betty Anne Skalicky

All Master's Theses

In this study the human figure was used as a departure. I imposed my own style of drawing on the human form in order to achieve not only the illusion of a threedimensional quality, but to create a personal identification with the image on the part of the artist and the viewer.

I Made Some Prints, Teresa O. Tempero

All Master's Theses

In discussing the prints and drawings chosen for this study, I wish to consider mostly subject matter and composition, giving less mention to technique. The three forms of printmaking used are intaglio, collagraph, and woodcut. A specific theme was not chosen for these prints. Since printmaking has been such a relatively new experience of expression for me, I chose to concentrate this study on the printmaking process.

Expansion Systems In Drawing, Anna Jane Licka

All Master's Theses

Drawing as a creative mode of expression has maintained in some artistic circles a "puristic doctrine." "Puristic doctrine" in this case means the utilization of characteristic drawing implements and techniques (ie. pen, pencil, ink, charcoal, crosshatching, shading). In contrast to this "puristic doctrine" is what can be termed an "eclectic expression" in art. As applied to drawing in this thesis, an "eclectic expression" will go beyond the traditional techniques by the application of other media such as photo-stencil, stuffed fabric, and three-dimensional tableau considerations. The purpose of this creative thesis is to expand the two-dimensional quality of drawing into a …

Exploration Of Watercolor And Elmer's Glue Combined As A Painting Media, James L. Ponti

All Master's Theses

In my study, an overt attempt was made to alter the relationship (or reaction) between myself and my paintings through various means. This was achieved by manipulating surfaces painted on, materials used, and varying selection of subject matter, or content, from a wide range of possibilities.

Images And Content, Robert C. Ellis Jr.

All Master's Theses

My primary purpose in this study was to explore the relationship of symbolism, imagery, and concept as they relate to printmaking and drawing. The techniques used in my work were collagraph printmaking, drawing, "painting-drawing", and three-dimensional construction. These works represent my development over a period of five quarters. As a result of this study, I expect that my perception and use of imagery, concepts and technique will continue to develop.

Expanding The Visual Potential Of Subject Matter Through Two-Dimensional Design, William Paul Paxton

Dissertations and Theses

This research problem represents an attempt to forestall the high school student's usual preoccupation with perceptive minutiae by placing an emphasis on the monumental or underlying structure of a work of art.

The author, endeavoring to afford maximum success for the students, first stripped subject matter to its most pristine quality, the silhouette. Because it was felt that it is much easier to recognize and organize an underlying structure without the added complication of perspective, emphasis was placed on a depthless surface or decorative space to be organized into a coherent whole through application of the abstractions which are the …

A Comparison Of Two Methods Of Teaching Drawing To High-School Students, Olive Wittman

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

In order to gain some evidence as to what difference the use of some particular instructional methods would make, an experiment was carried out. The experiment reported in this study is an example of a small investigation which an in-service art teacher can make, along with his regular teaching. It compared the effects of two instructional methods or to different teacher behaviors, on the students, in teaching drawing. Two classes of students were taught drawing by the same instructor who deliberately modified the degree of "directiveness" used in his teaching. In the "directed" group the teacher employed a strict instructor-controlled …

Bruegel: His Influences And Consequences, Regina Cheng Jafree

All Master's Theses

Pieter Bruegel the elder, whose work is as modern today as centuries ago, and whose reputation as a major genius in the realm of visual, spiritual and sociological reality is lately emerging in a fashion which seems to do greater justice at a scale eminently deserved. I feel that in times to come, men like Bruegel and Caravaggio will possibly emerge as the most significant philosophers of visual arts. The fact that Bruegel is now being increasingly appreciated on a wider scale testifies to his greatness as a prophet and as a man who looked into the future, deeply and …

A Study Of Industrial Arts Teaching Problems And Course Content, Robert G. Torney

All Master's Theses

It is the purpose of this study (1) to investigate industrial arts programs in the Greater Seattle area to discover existing conditions and course content, (2) to research selected national curriculum projects for specific course content which each holds important, and 3) to present conditions which can improve industrial arts and assemble course content for selected subjects in industrial arts.

Acquiring and teaching modern concepts of industry."

Ceramic Feelings, Beverly Maki

All Master's Theses

Earth, air, water, and fire--four basic elements--have given me the opportunity to express my eclectic experiences into forms of clay. I have raised questions about my work pertaining to my conscious and subconscious to find how I see and feel about my work, in order to see myself in terms of my past, present and future. I have thought about the reality and nonreality of my feelings and wondered about the images and experiences that lie hidden in my subconscious, that could create new meanings and ideas. I have also wondered how I might relate certain ideas to my work. …
