Abstract:

Seeing beauty in the simplest aspects of nature inspires me to create art as a testament to our world. Being raised on a farm in rural Virginia gave me an appreciation of a reverence for all life. The inherent forms along with color and value establish nature as the master of aesthetics. An early introduction to Japanese art showed me that all nature was worthy and significant as subjects for art. Using materials derived from nature, cotton, linen, wool, silk, adds a tactile quality that I believe elevates the enjoyment of art.

Abstract:

<p>When children can understand their surrounding environments (whether it be the natural environment or their built environment) it is said that they can connect more deeply and have a heightened awareness of their surroundings (Kelly, 2013). This connection and heightened awareness can open their eyes to prevalent environmental issues, increasing their sense of social responsibility. The research on this type of learning generally occurs in formal institutions (i.e., a school), non-formal centers (i.e., at an outdoor education center), or informal meeting places (i.e., at a park with a paren

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to find architectural solutions which apply the theoretical findings centered around the biophilia hypothesis. The principles resulting from this investigation should help architecture to soften the separated conditions of the natural and the man-made environment. The application of these principles will then result in the design development of an Art in Nature Habitat in Kyoto, Japan.

Abstract:

In this arts-based thesis for a Masters degree in art education, I explored the meaning of my artwork through a constructivist investigation. During the process of artist research and making artwork, I was able to push boundaries for my art and myself and I was able to discover what kind of artist I was and what meaning was behind my artwork. This process of research,questioning, reflective documentation, and discovery has provided new tools and styles for teaching my students how to find their own personal voice in their artwork.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the nature and value of art. It is primarily concerned to advance an argument which makes sense of the significance we ordinarily afford art, rather than rendering it merely aesthetic and thus cognitively trivial. Contrary to philosophical orthodoxy, it is argued that 'art' does not have two distinct senses. Rather, we should understand art as an inherently evaluative, evolving cultural practice. Thus, I argue, 'art' is essentially a cluster concept. I consider an account of art according to which it is in the pleasure art affords, that its value lies. However, though we d

Abstract:

During my three years of this doctorate programme, I have explored the notion of the 'floating mind'. In Art Anthropology, Japanese philosopher Nakazawa Shinichi describes the term 'floating mind' as something that does not have any specific form, colour or direction. Rather, it is something free to move which contains multidimensional shapes or forms. Shinichi (2006, p.39) points out that this 'floating mind' originates from the beginning of creative thinking. In Shinichi's practice, myth related to the idea of 'floating mind' starts with questioning natural phenomena and requires a creative

I paint layers of transparent and opaque images and colors in order to achieve a dreamy and ethereal effect.

I intentionally obscure much of the text which allows me to place focus on the overall layout and design. The arrangement of lines of text and spacing of words is used to create a visual rhythm.

This thesis uses the term ‘the Anthropocene’ to recognise that human actions en masse are now considered equivalent to a geological force and to offer a global context for re-approaching the concept of nature.
