Counterpoint: Music And Art Education, Eileen Kosasih
Counterpoint: Music And Art Education, Eileen Kosasih
MA Projects
Music education programming is generally not as accessible or available as museum education programming. General music illiteracy and the elitism of music education perpetuate a cycle of inaccessibility and lack of understanding of the value of music education. Meanwhile, the auditory art form is a fundamental component of culture, society, and history. Music’s language and history should be understood and appreciated widely. Art museum education programmers can work with music educators, music historians, and classical music programmers to incorporate music education into museum education programming. This project consists of three parts. The first section advocates the inclusion of music education …

Why Be A Great Women Artist When You Could Be Spectacular: The Study Of Women Old Masters In The Art History Canon Through Art Market Bias, Zoë Mahler
MA Theses
It has been 50 years since the publication of Linda Nochlin’s renowned 1971

Questioning the woman artist’s place in the art world has become nuanced, and the restraints women experienced, as highlighted by Nochlin, still have validity today. By exploring the last 20 years of the art market and the perception of the woman’s place in the art world, it is clear progress has been made in certain respects, especially regarding Women Old Masters. The canon of art history and the subsequent …
Contemporary Textiles: Unraveling White Feminist Discourse, Meredith Friedman
Contemporary Textiles: Unraveling White Feminist Discourse, Meredith Friedman
MA Theses
In recent decades, attention to textile art has flourished. The growth of contemporary studies committed to revising fiber’s hierarchical categorization represents a discursive turn heavily weighted within feminist inquiry. The interrelation between textile techniques and constructs of femininity and domesticity was at the base of a robust interdisciplinary field of feminist theory developing around the 1970s in the US. Often referred to as the second wave of feminism, this era experienced scholars and artists proposing the medium’s capacity to counter the elusive genre’s marginalization and, by extension, presenting textile’s ability to subvert notions of gender difference. This analysis aims to …
The Durability Of Authenticity: An Examination Of The Art Conservator’S Role In Preserving Authenticity, Emily Crozier
The Durability Of Authenticity: An Examination Of The Art Conservator’S Role In Preserving Authenticity, Emily Crozier
MA Theses
This thesis will focus on the conservation of privately owned paintings by deceased artists to determine the durability of authenticity. The concept of authenticity is fragile and illusive. However, there are certain theories and attributes which help to determine whether a painting is authentic. It is generally agreed that the authenticity of a painting can be maintained or lost through conservation. It is therefore presumed that the conservator is ethically driven to preserve the authenticity of a painting as its cultural value is of paramount importance in the conservation process. However, conservation is not a purely ethical issue as it …
