Four Oil Paintings Illustrating Book Of Mormon Events, Ernel Leroy Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

The problem was to create four oil paintings which illustrate Book of Mormon events.

The Book of Mormon seems to hold forth great promise to the painter of religious subjects, but to the present only a limited number of artists have made use of this rich source. There is a need for good illustrations to help these scriptures come to life for the Book of Mormon reader.

A Study Of Depth Representation In Pictorial Art: The Psychology Of Development As Basis For A Theory Of Art Instruction, Patricia Tool Mchugh

Honors Papers

The main objective of the study is to propose a provisional plan for an improved teaching program aimed at the development and application of "spatial" relationships in the graphic arts. In the previous section, we have mentioned the role of past experience in building up the perceptual level. However, teaching requires that we make the best possible use of student's existing level of experience, and build upon that in planning the optimum use of the present experience. By the proper use of the immediate learning situation, we may assist students to become more aware of and project their understanding of …

Ritual Aspects Of The Far Eastern Secular Arts, William George Webster Mcconnell

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

A few words with regard to certain aspects of the terms religious art and secular art seem appropriate to a proper statement of the problem to be investigated in this thesis. In recent years Western students of art have real177ized that many instances exist which may not be classified easily in either category. Peter Fingesten, a student of the arts, has suggested that the term sacred art might beat be reserved for icons, paintings, reliquaries, and all implements of ritual and worship. Art objects in this category are produced according to hieratic code and symbolism. On the other hand, there …

The Relationship Of The Church To The National Culture In America, Ernest B. Koenker

Concordia Theological Monthly

As one considers the cultural complex of America today, there are a number of questions which might present themselves to the Christian living under the Word. What are the values which underlie our national culture, and is there any sense in which these are being absolutized today in some kind of Messianism? Can one say that the Christian churches in America, or the Lutheran Church, have profoundly shaped our culture, or have the churches themselves been thoroughly shaped by the culture? In view of the loss or muffling of a dynamic Christian witness in many of the American denominations, what …

Indigenous Philosophy In The Valley Of Mexico, John F. Newcomer

Philosophy ETDs

This study has been undertaken in the hope of helping to open new avenues of research in both philosophy and anthropology, avenues that have heretofore been largely overlooked. It has used as an example the pre-Conquest culture-complex of the Valley of Mexico. It is not intended to be an exhaustive exposition of every aspect of that complex, for that would take it out of the realm of philosophy and too far into that of anthropology. It is rather an examination of the salient features of Aztec culture in a philosophical light. It begins with a discussion of primitive philosophy in …

The Design And Execution Of A Mural, Patricia Finley

Honors Papers

This paper is the description of the artist's process in planning, designing, and execution of a mural for the Boys' and Girls' Room in the Oberlin Public Library. The whole purpose of this paper is that of viewing the creative process as precisely as possible. However, it may be wise to make a few remarks which touch upon the more general nature of the mental and emotional process of creativity to the extent that I have been able to generalize from my experience in plastic organization.

A Correlative Study Of The Anti-Literal In Modern Art, Music, And Literature, Alden Hervey Smith

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This study is concerned with the understanding as a way to enjoyment of the anti-literal in modern art.¹ The work of art is regarded as the locus of various cultural factors--a live product of the vital energies of its age and itself a source as well as a reflection. The analysis of these cultural factors lays no claim to completeness. It seeks merely to indicate in simple language the layman can understand, conditions, forces, and stimuli in the artist's milieu which are potential motivations of his artistic idiom² and through the examination of those influential factors, to try …

Mural Of The Ground Breaking Ceremony For The St. George Latter-Day Saint Temple, J. Roman Andrus

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this work was to plan and execute a mural for the Latter Day Saint Temple at St. George, Utah, depicting the ground breaking ceremony for the building of the Temple. The picturization of the event should be historically true, so far as possible, without sacrificing quality of design. Value, pattern, color, and idea should conform to the character and design of the building, and to the ceremonies performed therein.

Mexican Arts And Crafts Since The Conquest Of Cortes, Marjorie I. Graham

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Everyone interested in visiting Mexico should familiarize himself with its arts and crafts, for it has been truly said that "art is the expression of life,"¹ and the whole Mexican civilization is inextricably interwoven with its arts. It is the purpose of this thesis, not to exhaust the subject treated, but rather to present the art of Mexico in such a way that students o f the subject, or prospective tourists, may feel the tremendous interest which Mexican arts warrant; that they may have a clearer view of the background, the civilization, both past and present, of our "next …

A Pictorial Outline On Interior Decoration For The Average Small Home, Walter Murray

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This "Outline of Interior Decoration" is termed "Pictorial" because as much of its value lies in its pictures as in its text. They should visually reiterate the ideas which are exemplified by the text. It is called an "Outline" because it is necessarily limited in scope. Although emphasizing only the major points of the subject, it is however intended to provide a general study of Interior Decoration for the ordinary reader or the student. It is felt that for both this Thesis will offer an artistically sound and practical guide for the decoration of the simple, small house.

The Place Of The Fine Arts In A Democratic Education, Ivine Shields

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

One of the primary functions of our democratic education should be to awaken conscious relationships to out advancing ideals of beauty and to foster an appreciation for the fine arts, which will not only keep life from becoming sordid and existence sensuous, but will prove the sustenance of youth and the delight of old age.

With these ideas in mind, it is the writer’s desire to plead for more and better teaching of the fine arts in our schools, and to urge government aid and support manifested in the establishment of free schools of fine arts throughout the nation.
