Multi-Directional Ideas In The Duality Of A Living Work, Orlando Jimenez
Multi-Directional Ideas In The Duality Of A Living Work, Orlando Jimenez
All Master's Theses
This paper presents a series of ideas underlying the philosophy behind the creation of the author's works. The paper deals with the creator-viewer relationship, and the distinction that is commonly accepted as existing between the perception of the two, ascribing more value on the perception of one over that of the other. The conclusions were reached after acute observation of occurrences of everyday as a source of esthetic experience and after lengthy discussions with people involved in the creative process.
A Series Of Paintings Investigating Certain Specified Space Concepts, Michael C. Jackson
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 …
I Made Some Prints, Teresa O. Tempero
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.
A Use Of The Visual Metaphor: The Relationship Between The Figure To The Environment, Betty Anne Skalicky
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.

Expansion Systems In Drawing, Anna Jane Licka
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 …

Images And Content, Robert C. Ellis Jr.
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.
Bruegel: His Influences And Consequences, Regina Cheng Jafree
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 …
Ceramic Feelings, Beverly Maki
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. …

Kitsch In The Visual Arts And Advertisement Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Lori Schlinker
Kitsch In The Visual Arts And Advertisement Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Lori Schlinker
Theses and Dissertations
The writer's reason for making this study is a felt lack of taste and a general misunderstanding and misuse of the visual arts in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She is convinced that art, generally considered as a matter of personal taste, is actually a matter of professional judgement. A characteristic of our time is the "do-it-yourself" trend and to make up ones own mind about everything without any consultation of authorities and also a loss of feeling for integrity in productions of the human mind and hand which broke down the fences against kitsch and opened …

Sources For Neo-Satirical Drawings: Surrealist And Conceptual Processes, Douglas C. Brittain
Sources For Neo-Satirical Drawings: Surrealist And Conceptual Processes, Douglas C. Brittain
All Master's Theses
This study was concerned with social conunent and the intensity of emotional expression. The work was not intended to be a sociological study with illustrations, nor as an over-literate approach to art, but rather as a study of fine art problems. The problems and questions raised were as follows: (1) How are contradictions resolved when strict definitions of fine art and caricature are combined in drawing? (2) How are surrealist and conceptual processes integrated with biomorphic and mechanical forms? (2) What are the possible symbols and techniques for expressing ideas and emotions about the "mechano-organic" theme? This study was intended …
