Ancient Etruscan Metalsmiths: The Afterlife Mirrors Life, Dianne K. Debeixedon

Art Faculty Publications

(First Paragraph) Looking down the long corridors of time, the ancient Etruscans emerge as a powerful people whose economic and social development was founded on their metal industry. Over the centuries, however, the Etruscans were gradually absorbed into the Roman Empire and their language disappeared.

Jewelry From The Environment, Douglas Lawrence Kollmeyer

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis deals with the development of a body of my own creative work and the teaching of jewelry-working in the secondary schools. Emphasis in both instances was given to the use of the natural environment as a stimulus for design ideas. The philosophy of nature as art forms has been the focus of my creative endeavors for several years. This lead to the design and completion of jewelry, flatware, and holloware in this study. Knowledge gained in my work experiences formed the basis and background of the presentation of these skills to secondary students.

An Approach To Wire Using Textile Techniques, Toni Vallette-Satterfield

Masters Theses

Wire can be used in the same way as fiber in many textile processes. Wire is used to gain the same richness of texture that is exhibited in fibers and to capture the light reflective quality of the textile techniques.

The following processes are not for beginning students. Much experimentation went into the research for each technique. The first method is coiling. This technique is a single-element stitch process (without the needle), worked continuously over a core. The second technique is crochet, involving a single-element structure in which loops are interlocked in a continuous manner. The third technique is loom …

An Approach To Metalsmithing And Its Correlation To Specific Drawings, Susan Isabel Randall

Masters Theses

The paper is concerned with my approach to metalsmithing which is directly correlated to my drawings; developing the two-dimensional plane and evolving into three-dimensional metal pieces. The lines of my drawings have become stimulus for my metal work; resolving into strong, linear, textural elements. I discuss three pieces which I have created and some drawings relating the transitions from paper to metal and metal to paper.

My references for these creatures are usually drawn from specific areas which have captured my interest. I have been considerably influenced by Early Irish, Celtic art and the Medieval French Grotesque art. The Celtic …

Surface Treatment Of Metals, Dorothy Dunkirk-Bennett

Masters Theses

The purpose or this thesis is to relate to others my experimentation of various types of metals, and the methods employed to decorate the surfaces of these particular metals. The differences, and similarities in means of working with and decorating each type of metal used is also discussed.

The first part of the paper is devoted to a brief history of metal techniques. This gives a better understanding as to when the particular techniques were first employed and how many of them were almost lost with the arrival of nineteeth century industralization.

Techniques which I used, and the various means …

Fundamental Aspects Of A Metalsmithing Career, James Walter Johnson

Masters Theses

The intent of this paper is to ease the trauma encountered in the difficult transition from novice metalsmith to producing craftsperson. The major areas of discourse are as follows: 1) What is the most beneficial time for mental orientation toward one's career? 2) What actual steps should be taken along with this orientation? 3) How can the artist go about preparing himself financially for the burdens to be encountered in a craft business? 4) What comprise the major forces in the organization of a metalsmithing studio? 5) What kinds of equipment will the artist need to efficiently ply his trade? …

Cold Connections As Used By The Metalsmith And Sculptor, Deborah A. Rohr

Masters Theses

Metal may be joined to metal and non-metal materials by many techniques. It is my intent to discuss one group of such techniques--that of cold connections, and illustrate them with art works. Although there are many types of cold connections, this study will concentrate on the use of rivets, screws, bolts, adhesives, nails and wire as cold connectors.

A proper definition for cold connection is attachment of one piece of material to another piece of material without use of heat.

Historical reference of the uses of cold connections by prehistoric man, early civilizations of man, through modern times is included …

The Use Of Cellular Structure As A Basic Design Motif For Creative Jewelry Making, Robert L. Neal

All Master's Theses

This study presents an examination of microscopic plant and animal structures for the purpose of using the unique forms, colors and textures revealed as a point of departure for artistic expression.

It also delves briefly into the nature of creativity and its manifestation as it relates to art and science.

A slide-script presentation was created to be used as a stimulation device for secondary students who may wish to work in media such as painting, jewelry, batik and printmaking.

A Record Of Work: A Study Of Object Art And Micro-Environmental Art In Jewelry, Catherine A. Sigler

All Master's Theses

This paper represents the study of Object Art and Environmental Art in Jewelry. By utilizing the media, the technology, the environmental objects of this culture, a series and study of Object Jewelry began.

This study was concerned with the non-functional aspects of Jewelry with emphasis on imagery, symbolism and technique.

Today, contemporary jewelry reflects ideas, moods, forms, and relationships of our cultural and technical environment. Movements in the field today are tending towards creating Object and Environmental Art, rather than pedestal art, which was predominant prior to 1960.

Small Objects As Art, Patrick Dybvig

All Master's Theses

This thesis presents a series of original jewelry and hand-held art objects which aesthetically relate to each other in a controlled gallery environment. The form of the objects is based on box-shapes, while the content comments on and pokes fun at our present society. The objects are made of various combinations of sterling silver, brass, copper, aluminum, plexiglass, fabric. and wood. Some of the objects use photographs from private and magazine sources. All of the objects are intended as Funk-art pieces.

Design Of Spatial Interstices, Byron Hiroyuki Kato

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study: (1) to develop an idea visually as well as to articulate it in writing; (2) to evolve and develop illusions and realities of spatial interstices (spatial framents) as positive elements of two and three dimensional form; (3) to articulate, as objectively as possible, an analysis of the body of creative work.

The Figure And Environmental Forms In Jewelry, Sophie Sheppard

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to make a series of jewelry, conceived as small sculpture, using the human figure in relation to environmental form. The review of literature pertinent to the study consisted of a presentation of the visual and philosophical content in the work of Rico Lebrun and Ernest Trova, and an analysis of the work of the candidate as influenced by these artists.
