From Particles To Planets: Exploring The Physical In Art, Susan J. Soriente

Sheldon Museum of Art: Catalogs and Publications

Our physical reality-its span, depth and breadth; from microcosm to macrocosm, from particle to planet-may be experienced through the eye of the artist as we contemplate a work of art.

It is clear that the physical is a primary element of art, but that statement does not encompass the multitude of ways the physical may be expressed. From antiquity, artists have used their art to encapsulate and express the world, or to change, invent and portray the physical to express their view of reality.

Line, form, color, texture and composition produce a visual experience of a subject that delineates and …

Evolving Eden, Sharon L. Kennedy

Sheldon Museum of Art: Catalogs and Publications

Eden is an idealized place where one experiences happiness, harmony and a sense of timelessness. While some believe this can only be experienced after death, others are convinced that the only Eden is the one we currently inhabit and therefore good stewardship is needed in order to sustain it. Photographers have historically captured our evolving planet and have brought to light its beauty as well as its destruction due to human intervention.

The artists in Evolving Eden address the much-discussed topic of the environment and our relationship with our surroundings, using three distinct approaches. While Arno Rafael Minkkinen's spiritual images …

The Unknown Blakelock, Sharon L. Kennedy

Sheldon Museum of Art: Catalogs and Publications

Understanding the work of nineteenth-century American painter Ralph Albert Blakelock (1847-1919) has proven elusive despite several exhibitions and publications about his life and art. As Sheldon Director Emeritus, author, and founder of the Nebraska Blakelock Inventory Project Norman Geske observes, "Essentially self-taught, Blakelock proceeded with an imagination that was singularly free of any allegiance to established procedures, allowing him ... to address subjects as diverse as Jamaica, upper Manhattan Island, and the ocean shore - to find new solutions to differing pictorial problems. In some instances, it is clear he was cognizant of stylistic innovations in the higher artistic community. …

Bible Theory Or Biblical Living: What Are Christian Schools Providing For Families With Children With Special Needs?, A.Y. "Fred" Ramirez Ph.D.

International Christian Community of Teacher Educators Journal

Private Christian elementary and secondary schools, along with Bible training and Bible exercises, have been a part of the United States and international community since the 1800s. This article examines these questions: (1) What Biblically-based principles are in evidence in Christian schools’ treatment of children with special needs; and (2) how do Christian schools work with the parents of these children. Results from the Christian schools that participated in this study indicate although that they were attending to their children with special needs, these schools may actually be missing many more students who are in need of services.

Speaking Through The Silence: Voice In The Poetry Of Selected Native American Women Poets, D'Juana Ann Montgomery

English Dissertations - Archive

The issue of voice in Native American poetry is vital to understanding the culture and traditions of past and present-day Native American people. The voice of Native American women poets/writers has emerged as a strong force; one that has attempted to remain connected to its ancestral heritage while connecting with modern and post-modern culture. The Native American women poets selected for this study include Leslie Marmon Silko, Luci Tapahonso, Joy Harjo, Linda Hogan, and Wendy Rose. These Native American women poets not only raise concerns particular to their Native American culture, but their voices also address issues of importance and …

Maternal Bodies, Ojibwe Histories And Materiality In The Novels And Memoirs Of Louise Erdrich, Jodi Bain Mccormack

English Theses - Archive

This thesis examines uterine metaphors and birthing scenes in the novels and memoirs of Louise Erdrich. Specifically, it examines convergences between these images and material feminisms, as well as Ojibwe spirituality and ontology. Within these images and metaphors, Erdrich critiques personal, family and gender boundaries and also the nature/culture divide and even ideas which separate birth and death. It begins with actual birthing scenes in her texts, then moves to metaphors and similes which birth or maternity is implied. This thesis uses feminist theories by Alaimo, Harraway, Hekman and Irigaray and also science study scholars like Bruno Latour and Andrew …
