Know, Known, Knew, Sherry J. Lane

LSU Master's Theses

I have special appreciations for my education, the ability to read, comprehend, and communicate. These appreciations have led my curiosity to issues of education and how we sometimes take important necessities for granted. Advances in technologies are changing social interactions, perceptions, and the ways in which we communicate. I have become intrigued at how these changes affect the ways in which we are taught today, verses how we were taught in the past and I am especially concerned of how the future will be influenced by what we are learning. When I speak of how we are taught and what …


Buddha's Shell, Matthew Keating Jones Jan 2002

Buddha's Shell, Matthew Keating Jones

LSU Master's Theses

Photography can be a way of exploring abstract ideas visually. When I make a photograph, I feel as though I am giving the world a glimpse into my thoughts. I want to share the mystery of photography with others. The Buddha’s Shell series is part of my journey in discovering who I am as a photographer. This is my first departure away from documentary photography. Instead of using photography as a tool to record specific events and images of time, these images have enabled me to free myself and use the medium to facilitate my imagination.

Using dishes I made, I have chosen to illustrate the experience of consumption by leaving remnants of a dinner on display during gallery hours. How much …


Southern Portraits, Derek Brandon Bell Jan 2002

Southern Portraits, Derek Brandon Bell

LSU Master's Theses

Photography to me is a passion for recording fractions in time, which evoke a deep response in myself, and the viewer. The response can be one of wonder, love, hate, laughter, or camaraderie. While living and photographing in the gentle South, I am most concerned with and intrigued by portraying her people. My intent is to explore man, his familial characteristics, his sense of community, and his relationship with those around him.

Review Of Treasures Of Castilla Y León: A Cultural Season In New York, Antoni Pizà Jan 2002

Review Of Treasures Of Castilla Y León: A Cultural Season In New York, Antoni Pizà

Publications and Research

Spanish religious art tends to be theatrical in nature. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, for example, the original setting of sculpted figures invariably emulated a stage in order to create a dramatic environment in which light, smells, and sounds were controlled for effect. Just consider the religious sculptures frequently paraded in processions or the statuary placed in chapels and niche-like recesses. Or think also of the dramatic paintings that functioned almost as backdrops for what amounted to the "staging" of the Catholic liturgy. Medium and message, thus, went hand in hand, a dependence that was made even stronger …
