Pattern Design: Painting Inner Rhythms, Audrey Ellen Farrell Jan 1995

Pattern Design: Painting Inner Rhythms, Audrey Ellen Farrell

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

"The term 'pattern' necessarily implies a design composed of one or more devices, multiplied and arranged in orderly sequence. A single device, however complicated or complete in itself it may be, is not a pattern, but a unit with which the designer, working according to some definite plan of action, may compose a pattern." Archibald H. Christie My investigation of pattern design has taken the form of a series of highly embellished paintings, applied to either two- or three-dimensional surfaces or a combination of both. Among the recurrent concerns in my work are the history of patterning, its use in …


The Treatment Of Voice In Some Of The Works Of Some Women Writers Of The Harlem Renaissance, Patrick Steven Bernard Jan 1995

The Treatment Of Voice In Some Of The Works Of Some Women Writers Of The Harlem Renaissance, Patrick Steven Bernard

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study examines the relation between the quest for identity-formation that characterized the Harlem Renaissance and the treatment of Voice by the women writers of the period to define their feminine identity. The concept of voice as used in this study refers to the method of self-expression and self-articulation to define the feminine subject by the women writers of the period. The importance of the Harlem Renaissance as a period of black self-determination is the main principle that is used here to particularize the feminine quest. The study looks at the Harlem Renaissance mainly from the perspective of the women …


Britain’S Only Offensive: An Assessment Of The Influence Of Bomber Command On British Morale, 1939-1942, Brian Keith Gulick Jan 1995

Britain’S Only Offensive: An Assessment Of The Influence Of Bomber Command On British Morale, 1939-1942, Brian Keith Gulick

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The assumptions historians make regarding their subjects can prove weak. This study considers one assumption made by historians studying the British bombing offensive against Germany during the first three years of World War II. Scholars, in their attempts to justify an expensive, dangerous and morally questionable strategic attack against Germany, have related the first three years of the air war to British home front morale. They make general statements linking the bombing of Germany to the status of home morale, concluding that the offensive boosted British spirits. However, no real evidence has been presented to either support or deny this …


Graduate Recital In Voice: Song Cycles By Robert Schumann And Benjamin Britten, Jeffrey J. Brich Jan 1995

Graduate Recital In Voice: Song Cycles By Robert Schumann And Benjamin Britten, Jeffrey J. Brich

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

On Saturday, April 17, 1993, Jeffrey Brich, tenor, presented a recital in partial fulfillment of the Master of Music degree. The recital, approximately one hour in length, consisted of two song cycles. The first cycle performed was Dichterliebe (1840) by Robert Schumann, which contains sixteen songs set to poetry from Heinrich Heine's poetic cycle, Lyrisches Intermezzo. Following an intermission, the recital resumed with a performance of Britten's Serenade, Op. 31 (1943). Originally composed for tenor, horn and strings, the soloist opted to use Britten's piano reduction of the string accompaniment for this performance of the work.

A Measure Between The Beginnings, Amy Elizabeth Fichter Jan 1995

A Measure Between The Beginnings, Amy Elizabeth Fichter

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This thesis exhibition is a culmination, a gathering, of my beginnings as an artist as well as the evidence of the chaos of creative growth. It is an attempt to show the fullness and depth that I have experienced in the making of these works. I use Audre Lorde's words as a title for this exhibition because art-making is work that I love with my strongest feelings; the show is evidence of my confusion and struggling with what I have found most powerful and satisfying to create. It is a measuring and a showing of the work from this past …


In Search Of Beauty, Tatiana Anatolievna Izugrafova Jan 1995

In Search Of Beauty, Tatiana Anatolievna Izugrafova

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

When I began to paint I was one of many who intuitively or by some practical reasons had chosen art as an area in which to work and to make a living. At that time I imagined art as something extra-ordinary, beautiful, always interesting and exciting--as some sort of holiday or celebration. The fine arts and, particularly, painting, are areas that make this celebration everlasting. Just thinking about the works of Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo and the drawings from the Lascaux caves would make every beginner in Art thrilled to be in touch with the creation of eternal beauty. As my …
