Michelangelo Buonarroti And Homophobia In The Renaissance, Grace T. O. Ray Nov 2022

Michelangelo Buonarroti And Homophobia In The Renaissance, Grace T. O. Ray

The Confluence

Tommaso de’ Cavalieri was a young man with an aristocratic background when he first met famous artist Michelangelo Buonarroti in Rome. Tommaso was known to be an incomparable physical beauty, with intelligence and elegant manners, as well as being a member of one of the most illustrious families of Rome—the Orsini. Some have said this is what drew the artist to Cavalieri from the start. Though not much is known about their encounter, it is confirmed that Cavalieri remained a close and loyal companion to Michelangelo for thirty-two years until the artist’s death in 1564. Furthermore, throughout their years together …


Creating A 1940s Costume: A Historical Investigation, Jennifer Mott Nov 2022

Creating A 1940s Costume: A Historical Investigation, Jennifer Mott

The Confluence

The purpose of this Art History research investigation was to create a costume from the 1940s by immersing myself in a time period when people often made their own clothing. This was done to better understand what it means to have a personal connection to the items I wear. Our experiences as consumers in the twenty-first century are vastly different than those belonging to the people that lived during the mid-twentieth century because almost all of our clothing is purchased from corporations and created by people that we will likely never meet. For this investigative study, I shopped for and …

Theme - A Feel For The Future Of Bioengineering

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

Smashing martial arts boards with your prosthetic hand is not in the user manual, but, if it is called the Ability Hand, and if it is capable of doing that, then why not? Impressively, the same hand is also able to pick up individual raspberries with ease. Once a staple of science fiction, the future of bionic prosthetics is already here.

Theme - A Step Beyond Wrapping Products

SIGNED: The Magazine of The Hong Kong Design Institute

For all its ubiquity and diversity, product packaging doesn't get the attention it deserves. What attention it does get is usually negative, and for good reason, as plastic packaging is choking the world's waterways and wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems. However, there are important developments underway in the world of packaging, and we talk to industry thought leader Dr. Claire Sand to discover what is on the horizon for the humble product package.

Gamification In Education: A Study Of Design-Based Learning In Operationalizing A Game Studio For Serious Games, James Hutson, Ben Fulcher, Joe Weber Nov 2022

Gamification In Education: A Study Of Design-Based Learning In Operationalizing A Game Studio For Serious Games, James Hutson, Ben Fulcher, Joe Weber

Faculty Scholarship

The gamification of learning has proven educational benefits, especially in secondary education. Studies confirm the successful engagement of students with improved time on task, motivation and learning outcomes. At the same time, there remains little research on games and learning at the postsecondary level of education where traditional pedagogies remain the norm. Studies that have been conducted remain almost exclusively restricted to science programs, including medicine and engineering. Moreover, postsecondary subject-matter experts who have created their own gamified experiences often are forced to do so on an ad hoc basis either on their own, teaching themselves game engines, or with …


The Market For Classic French Modern Art Prior To 1940, Robert Jensen Nov 2022

The Market For Classic French Modern Art Prior To 1940, Robert Jensen

Art and Visual Studies Presentations

Using a quantitative methodology based on auction and sales prices, the paper describes the high-end market for paintings between 1895 and 1839 (paintings selling for $10,000 or more), especially in reference to what the author describes as "classic French modern art." The paper compares prices between Old Master art, classic French modern art, and contemporary art during this period, and asks why classic French modern art sold for prices nearly as high as Old Master art did during this period, especially when compared to contemporary painting.


We Are All Connected, Behnoush Tavasolinia Nov 2022

We Are All Connected, Behnoush Tavasolinia

LSU Master's Theses

Upon personal reflection, I have discovered that economic, cultural, and social issues have become very important in my life. As an Iranian graphic designer, I used current events and responded to Iranian stories to reflect that people’s problems anywhere in the world affect other people’s lives worldwide. My thesis investigation aims to reveal the global connection with commodities by focusing on Iran’s economic inflation to create a conceptual and visual representation of impacted consumables. Persian rugs and tile designs are the centers of the culture and symbols of the Iranian people. I used graphic design to illustrate tiles utilizing economic …


Disability Representation In Media: More Than Just The Character, Antony Clements Nov 2022

Disability Representation In Media: More Than Just The Character, Antony Clements

Postgraduate

The representation of disability in creative media is problematic. There have been several tests proposed that analyse disability representation within a media text, in an attempt to determine if a media text represents disability appropriately. In this thesis, I discuss several existing tests of disability representation within media texts, identifying problems in each. I propose a new test for disability representation to address these problems. I then apply the test described in this thesis to media texts within the spheres of film, television, fictional literature, comics and games. Using the qualitative method of autoethnography combined with discourse analysis, I will …
