Application Of Piaget’S Cognitive Development Theory To Art Education In A Multicultural Setting, Kaled Ostraff, Dan Barney

Journal of Undergraduate Research

My project’s aim was to apply Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory to art education. His theory describes the process children use to create views or schemas of the external world. He was “intrigued with the reasons children gave for their wrong answers” (McLeod, 2012). I was interested in analyzing drawings of children from two different cultural sites. To investigate what impact culture and the experiences of children have on the development of those children’s schemas as expressed through their drawings. I went to two sites: Summit Academy in Utah and Sylvia Park School in New Zealand.

“Shepherd” A Documentary Film, Jared Jakins, Thomas Lefler

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The production of this documentary has been extensive, and in the process the project was renamed “Ghosts on the Mountain.” The film examines the isolated lifestyle of H-­‐2A guest workers in the American West by subtly exploring the emotions that come with their occupation. The film’s subjects leave family and native lands to work in the US on H-­‐2A work visas, or no visas at all. Surrounded by breathtaking vistas, these workers find themselves in solitude and loneliness. This isolation is heightened by language barriers and the remoteness of the sheep’s pasture lands. They become, in a sense, “ghosts” to …

Artistic Practice And Domestic Experience In New Zealand, Alexis Ostraff, Gary Barton

Journal of Undergraduate Research

For a while now I’ve been interested in the role that food plays in the interaction between individuals and groups of people. In my own home growing up I learned to love food and the gatherings that food facilitated, especially family meal-times. I more recently developed the desire to look further into how food affects our lives. For my ORCA project I wanted to observe interactions surrounding food in homes different from my own. I was curious about cultural similarities and differences, and wondered what I could learn in others homes that would influence my artwork as well as my …

Adriaen Van De Venne’S Skating Owls (1620-1660), Sarah James Dyer, Martha Peacock

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Although some scholars think that Skating Owls (1620-1660) by Adriaen van de Venne (Fig. 1) is solely a lighthearted piece, I have found that through his use of iconographic imagery and well-known proverbs, van de Venne was able to generate a work of art intended to portray a moralizing message condemning the vice of adultery and warning the male audience about the dangers of cunning women. It was imperative for my thesis to see the artwork in person to conduct further research and gain a greater knowledge about the artwork’s purpose. Very little is known or has been published on …

The Filippini Project, Courtney Mcwhorter, James Swensen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

In Argentina, many of the artists outside of the capitol are not studied despite how important they might be to the history of Argentina. I was once passing through a town in La Pampa, and I walked into a local museum. On a temporary display, I saw beautiful photographs taken from the 1920s and later. As a student of art history, I was intrigued by the works and wanted to know more about the photographer. I asked the lady at the museum if there was a pamphlet or book about the artist that I could purchase to learn more about …

Summer Dance Intensive Field Study, Amy Gunter, Nathan Balser

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Gaga, created by Isreal’s Ohad Naharin, is an innovative movement practice focused on enhancing sensations within the body through movement. It is used both as a training method for dancers, and a movement practice for the general public. Because the emphasis of Gaga is to explore sensation and availability for movement in a completely unique way, it is becoming increasingly popular in the dance world today. Gaga is also unique in that there are no expectations of what your body should look like while doing it. Each person must take the instructor’s cues and interpret them inside their own bodies; …

Details: Western American Fashion In The 20th Century, Chelsey Roberts, Mary Farahnakian

Journal of Undergraduate Research

As the lid of the first box was lifted off I became giddy. I couldn’t help but reach out and touch the golden yellow silk flapper dress. My fate to the BYU Historic Clothing Collection was sealed. It was the last week of classes of my first semester at BYU. Dr. Mary Farahnakian was showing us the study collection of historical clothing that was kept on campus for student use. Each piece held a story and I wanted to be a part of uncovering the story.

Eugene Levinson’S School Of Agility Understanding Its Application, Joshua Lambert, Eric Hansen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Throughout classical music history, most major composers of the baroque, classical and romantic eras overlooked the bass as a solo instrument leaving the instrument’s repertoire tragically underdeveloped. In recent decades, however, a significant number of virtuoso double bassists has emerged and, along with them, significant new solo works have changed the way the instrument is played and heard. These luminary bassists devoted much of their careers to developing a new pedagogy for the double bass in an effort to compensate for centuries of pedagogical deficiency. One of the leading figures in this movement to advance the double bass as a …

I also helped collect dialect samplings for a book Stephanie Breinholt will be writing about dialects for the stage.

Tchaikovsky’S Violin Concerto: The Composer’S Original, Auer’S Edition, And The Performer’S Dilemma, Caitlin Johnson, Alexander Woods

Journal of Undergraduate Research

I began my project with two purposes: to compile a history of the evolution of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35, including the compositional process, premiere history, different editions, and performance tradition; and to synthesize that research in an informed performance of the concerto. The Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto is a landmark in the genre’s evolution. Initially deemed too difficult to play and too transgressive of musical norms, the concerto received vitriolic reviews. Between the concerto’s genesis and its acceptance as a classic, it was altered to produce the several versions performed today. The edits made by performer and …

Project: Dancing In The Light, Charis Dexter, Shayla Bott

Journal of Undergraduate Research

There are many ways that light is perceived, it can be seen, felt, measured, ignored, blocked, and directed. The project I successfully completed was a tangible experiment with light. I choreographed a dance for the BYU Ballet Showcase company called “Dancing in the Light”, the light of Christ. The experiment was within the experience of creating a dance that could carry a message of light, that through the dancers the audience could literally feel something being communicated to them. What I aimed to learn from this project was to polish my execution in the delicate craft of choreography, in order …

Visual Research Of Delacroix, Drew Rane, Peter Everett

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The paintings of Eugene Delacroix show an exception power and emotion. Delacroix uses the human figure and color in order to express emotion. There continues to be an important place for the use of representation of the human figure in contemporary art. This is through the expressive quality that avails itself through use of the figure. Though the widespread popularity of the human figure in art waxes and wanes there continues to be a need filled by the figure. The representation varies widely from traditional academic accurate representation to an abstracted form to an even more distanced use with contemporary …

Another Look: A Rephotographic Survey Of Giovanni Paolo Panini’S Works, Kendra Harris, James Swensen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Giovanni Paolo Panini was a famous painter during the 18th century, and is mainly known as a vedutisti, or view painter. He is notable for his paintings of Rome, which often incorporated fantastical landscapes of the most renowned sites of the city.1 The purpose of this project was to recreate sixteen of Panini’s most famous works of art through photography, capturing the modern appearance of some of the most famous sites in Rome. By completing this research project, I have been able to document the ever-changing cityscape of Rome and continue Panini’s work of capturing the art and architecture of …

Vienna Recording Project, Christian Succo, Dr. Will Kimball

Journal of Undergraduate Research

As a Music Education Major at BYU and a competent trombone player, I recognize the value and importance of experiencing things first hand. In my experience theory and practice are different. The first lacks a certain depth of understanding and often carries with it false realizations and implications. Due to this, it becomes essential to discover ways of bringing real life experiences to our school and provide ways for students to engage themselves in these experiences. The Vienna Recording Project is a work in progress that will ultimately tap into the need that students have to experience things without ever …

A Useable Past: First World War Training Camps On Civil War Battlefields, S. Marianne Johnson

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History

When visitors flock to America’s National Parks, the battlefields from the American Civil War are perennially popular. Every summer, thousands come to walk over the serene fields and forests where men suffered unimaginable carnage. These sites have become sacred in the American psyche, places to remember and honor the dead, educate the public, or engage in quiet personal reflection. The rolling plains, dense forests and impressive mountains of Civil War battlefields inspire awe and reverence for what author Robert Penn Warren tagged America’s only “felt history.” [excerpt]
