Three Essays On The Reality Of Art, Brent A. Sparlin Jan 1978

Three Essays On The Reality Of Art, Brent A. Sparlin

Masters Theses

Three essays make up the main body of the thesis. The essays, “Can Art Really Be Real?,” “The Artist's Role” and “The Artist's Role in Society, Part II; Silence,” each deal with specific subjects which when combined, explain the thesis' title, The Reality of Art.

The Prometheus Bone Carving From Area B, Jennifer C. Groot Jan 1978

The Prometheus Bone Carving From Area B, Jennifer C. Groot

Andrews University Seminary Studies (AUSS)

During the course of the 1976 excavations at Tell Hesban, from out of a loose soil layer off the Area B.7 staircase, came to light the key artistic find of the season—a bone carving depicting the "Prometheus Bound" myth. The importance of such a carving is not immediately evident, for it requires analysis in order to determine its implications in relation to Heshbon as a major city in the ancient world. The results of a stylistic analysis of the Prometheus plaque will be not only to deliver further support to the pottery dating of this locus (Early Byzantine, A.D. 324- …
