A Study In Visual Emotional Response To Color Changes On Simplified Flat Forms, Frances Farmer

All Master's Theses

Research has proven that the impact of two-dimensional painting and drawing occurs in the first tenth of a second on viewing. All viewing thereafter is investigative. Therefore it is of utmost important that the major response be in this period. This interest in the firm, momentary presence of visual impact has precedence in Milton Avery's work as related by Hilton Kramer in his text on Milton Avery. To make the use of color as the basic mainspring of my work seemed to be the most effective way of gaining this time response. With this in mind I intended to produce …

Sculpture And Its Environment, Eric J. Hansen

All Master's Theses

1. The incorporation of the base into a sculpture; the removal of the base from a sculpture and what effects this has on the piece and its environment.

2. Variations on similar forms, and how they relate to baselessness.

3. Completely freeing the sculpture of any structural contact with the ground plane.

The Face As An Inspiration In Drawing, Linda Lee Stevens

All Master's Theses

My primary concern in drawing is the human element. The face has been the inspiration which enabled me to convey this element. These faces (contrived from photographic media) became individuals with the ability to transmit emotions (which are triggered by their human forces). This power of the face has inspired the utilization of spatial relationships and imagery which becomes the total drawing. The magical quality in drawing is similar to the mystical quality of the face - they both provide a spiritual challenge.
