Opus Caementicium: My Work In Concrete, Thomas J. Botkin
Opus Caementicium: My Work In Concrete, Thomas J. Botkin
Dissertations and Theses
I developed an interest in concrete by working in the building trades. How could such a base material be so fascinating? It had the fluidity of a lava flow, the ugliness of scat and the power of gravity. The last two years have been spent using concrete as a sculptural material. The results of my research "Flips," "Fills," and "Plops," are inquiries into the nature of concrete.

Spira Mirabilis, Kim D. Ray
Dissertations and Theses
My graduate work, culminating in Spira Mirabilis, my final thesis project, has been about a search for simplicity. What I have discovered along the way is complexity. In searching for a fundamental principle that generates a complex form, I discovered an apparently simple form that is, rather, a consequence of complex relationships. By creating a work that is grounded on a fundamental, universal principle, I hoped to evoke a subliminal or other-than-conscious response that would effect a transformation in the viewer. Ultimately, I found my own transformation through the creative process, and acquired a new viewpoint through a minimal …
Theory Of Nothing, Adam Wieslaw Rupniewski
Theory Of Nothing, Adam Wieslaw Rupniewski
Dissertations and Theses
My work was presented in the form of an installation. Using three and two-dimensional objects, as well as sound and light, I created a site specific type of installation. Materials involved in this project were hydrostone, plaster, steel and copper. The sound I recorded on my steel sculptures in an acoustic space and then mixed to create sound compositions to amplify the feeling for the space. This installation reflects my pursuits in painting and sculpture, as well as my interest in music and light effects. Its philosophical and spiritual content were expressed through visual language, symbolic use of elements and …

Construction, Mylan Rakich Iii
Dissertations and Theses
Life is a series of moments that unfortunately can not be looked at all at once but can take on a form over a period of time. Every last moment builds on the next. The mediums used not only allowed form but dictated abstract, 3-dimensional compositions referred to as: construction. Every wooden board, piece of paper and brushstroke of paint, marks a moment in the development of the completed construction. The layering of mediums exposed the process of construction as a creation, not just the artist's personally informed intention towards the mediums. The mediums and the scale of each piece, …

Images Of Mary: Effects Of Style And Content On Reactions To Marian Art, Donald J. Polzella, Johann G. Roten S.M., Christopher W. Parker
Psychology Faculty Publications
105 college students rated digitized facsimiles of works of art depicting the Virgin Mary, which varied in style (Pre-Renaissance versus Renaissance and Post-Renaissance) and content (depictions of events versus devotional images). Viewer reactions were affected strongly by style, content, and their interaction. For example, the newer style was perceived to have greater power and clarity than the older style, and this effect was greater for event depictions than for devotional images. Other findings included differences in reactions between men and women.
