Object Landscape, Stuart B. Gair

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Theses and Student Creative Work

The ceramic objects I create possess a particular buoyant volume and subtle organic surface variation that enable each piece to stand-alone and yet to allure the viewer in for closer examination. A particular articulation of each form creates an aesthetic that allows the object to occupy a space in such a way that evokes a sense of balance and harmony with a minimal domestic setting. Interests in historical forms that possess a full sense of volume provide a framework me to explore proportion, line, edge, silhouette, and transitions. I pare down these qualities to their true essence while still evoking …

Passing Time, Bryan Horn

In today’s fast paced world based around expedience and convenience, we often find ourselves lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Rethinking Levanna Ceramics: A Tenth Century Short Term Occupation Site In Central New York, Christina T. Rogers

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The analysis of ceramics located inside of a proto-longhouse at Levanna, an early 10th century site overlooking Cayuga Lake in Central New York have found the established typologies of the area to be less rigid and contain much more variability than would be expected. Levanna appears to be a short-term occupation site (ca. 30 years) containing a variety of ceramics. In past studies Levanna had been deemed an "Owasco" era (900-1400 A.D.) site by early and some recent archaeologists, yet the analysis of features and ceramics found during the 2008 and 2009 excavations help deconstruct the idea or concept of …

A Study Of The Bottle Configuration, William A. Tyner

All Master's Theses

It is the candidate's intention to explore the elements inherent with the bottle configuration. Singled out as most important are Form, Balance and Tension, while the bottle or closed form has been chosen due to the vastness of form possibility and over-all technical difficulty of working in that format. The study is predominantly creative, and in that vein, the candidate seeks the experience that will be gained from defining his sincere attitudes and convictions embodied in the results of the study, original ceramic art forms.

Visual And Expressive Form Qualities Attainable In Thrown Pottery Vessels By Use Of Various Lips And Feet, Kirby William Benson

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study to discover the number of various form qualities that it is possible to achieve within pottery vessels that are closely related by similar feet, bodies, and lips. The variety of form qualities sought for were of a visual nature; the entire pot seeming to appear more or less vertical or more or less horizontal than others with the same type of body but with different shapes of lips and feet selected to be used.
