Drawing From Words, Hannah E. Smith
Drawing From Words, Hannah E. Smith

The following report is an account of my growth and exploration as a painter. The project that was the springboard for this exploration was to create a series of paintings inspired by the fiction that I had previously written as a creative writing minor. I felt that writing could be used as a stimulus to create great paintings, and that painting and writing were perhaps more connected than I knew. I wished to pursue this connection through painting because I believed that it might be possible to capture many of the elements of a story on canvas. I looked to …

Symmetry-Breaking In Oriental Carpets: The Case For Beauty, Carol Bier
Symmetry-Breaking In Oriental Carpets: The Case For Beauty, Carol Bier
Textile Research Works
emerges from truth. Symmetry-breaking requires an expectation of symmetry. Often, symmetry-breaking is confused with asymmetry. But, rather, asymmetry is simply the absence of symmetry. For symmetry-breaking to exist, a pattern must first be stablished. Symmetry then is expected, but somehow that expectation is not met. There are many ways to effect symmetry-breaking in Oriental carpets. The study of Oriental carpets may lead one to suppose that in art, as in nature, it is in the approximation of symmetry, rather than in its precision, that beauty is to be found and appreciated. What is an Oriental Carpet? No one ever set …

A Calligrapher's Art: Inscribed Cotton Ikat From Yemen, Carol Bier
Textile Research Works
Yemen at the advent of Islam and in the ensuing centuries is a little known entity in our contemporary world. A thousand years ago when Baghdad was capital of the Islamic empire under the Abbasid caliphs, Yemen was a flourishing center of agriculture and trade. By camel caravan north to central Islamic lands and in maritime trade with India to the east and Africa across the straits, Yemen's ports of call along the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden were emporia for textiles, dyestuffs, and incense.
While today Yemen predominantly imports textiles from abroad, in the early centuries after the …
The Renewal Of Insight: Exhibition Of Painting And Calligraphy, Chu Chen-Nan
The Renewal Of Insight: Exhibition Of Painting And Calligraphy, Chu Chen-Nan
Theses
The thesis, The Renewal of Insight: Exhibition of Painting and Calligraphy by Chu Chen-Nan, explores the intimate relationship between Chinese painting and calligraphy, emphasizing their shared origins and intertwined development. Chu Chen-Nan reflects on how Chinese calligraphy, with its expressive use of brush and ink, plays a crucial role in both artistic creation and the appreciation of visual arts. Drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese masters, Chu aligns his work with the idea that both painting and calligraphy emphasize qualities like structure, speed, and dignity, rather than solely focusing on representational accuracy.
Throughout the thesis, Chu explores the contrast and …
