Abstract:
Cette thèse, à partir d'une pratique plastique (mes travaux faits entre 1988 et 1993 sous le titre une pratique de la "subtilité") tente d'élucider l'énigme de la motivation et le processus de la création ; il s'agit de la poïétique d'un art subtil. Ce qui est figure dans mes travaux plastiques (expression formelle de la politesse, jeu sur le sentiment timide, réticent etc. En tant que comportement discret) est le sujet dont parle ma peinture. Dans une telle incarnation du sujet, il ne s'agit nullement de vouloir enseigner quelque chose de particulier, culturel ou moral, mais il s'agit de vivre l'esthétique de la discrétion, la subtilité et son plaisir. La subtilité a ici affaire avec le corps, non l'esprit. Comme un besoin ou un certain appel du corps, comme le désir non violent, mais discret, délicat, une pratique de la subtilité serait une demande de mon corps. La subtilité consisterait chez moi à pouvoir analyser et saisir des nuances infimes. Le procédé de la fabrication (le principe de la fragmentation, de la pluralisation et de la pulvérisation) donne part lui-même un travail délicat tout en permettant le gout de la division et la saisie des nuances minuscules par les gestes de la main, par ses mouvements subtils. Par une telle pratique, la subtilité peut se définir comme la puissance de la division et le pouvoir de plaisir : le plaisir de la discrimination fine. Ma pratique de la subtilité n'est pas sans parente avec l'art de vivre. Pratiquer la subtilité est vivre ainsi en faisant déboucher l'art sur un art de vivre. Un art fait de gestes subtils d'une cuisinière par exemple, est en fait comme une vie quotidienne transformée. Cette thèse donne son terme : que vivre, jouer, créer soient interchangeables
This thesis (based on plastic works i made between 1988 and 1993) tries to elucidate the enigma of motivation and the process of creation : it deals with the poietique of "subtlety" in plastic arts. My painting relates what appears in my works : formal expression of "politeness", representation of reticent feelings such as discreet behaviour. In such an incarnation of the theme, the question does'nt intend to teach anything in particular, be it cultural or moral, but to live the aesthetics of discretion, subtlety and one's own pleasure. Like a need or any urge of the body, like a non violent but discreet and delicate desire, the practice of subtlety is a profound need of my body. For me, subtlety is the ability to analyze and grasp tiny nuances. The making process (the principle of gragmentation, pluralisation and pulverization) brings a delicate work by the taste of division and grasp of tiny nuances with subtle hand gestures. With such a practice, the subtlety can be defined as the power of division and the intensity of pleasure : the pleasure of subtle discrimination. My personal view of "subtlety" concerns the art of living. An art made of subtle gestures resembling those of a chef, is in fact like a daily life transformed

Abstract:
In the course of studying painting for the past three years at the University of Iowa, I have found collaborating with other artists to be a great way for me to try on different hats. Two of these collaborations in particular, The Old Man Study Group with Hamlett Dobbins (Memphis, TN) and The Coracle Drawing Club with David Dunlap (Iowa City, IA), have given me the license and opportunity to pretend to be someone else. These collaborative projects have asked me to consider, and at times adopt, even if only for a moment, the interests and concerns of another maker. A few months into these two projects, I noticed that the work I was making on my own, in the isolation of my own studio, was suddenly open to the world's innovations, and not just my own.

Abstract:

Due to federal laws requiring standardized testing of only a select few of the core subjects, many students have been divested of fine arts instruction (Chen, 2008; Garcia, 2010; Jacobsen & Rothstein, 2009; Maxwell, 2008; Suzuki, 2009). Moreover, school officials have reduced funding allocated to non-tested content areas as one means of balancing district budgets in a poor economy (Chen, 2008; Garcia, 2010). This mixed method study examined music educators' and curriculum directors' perceptions of how federal education laws have affected public school fine arts. Analysis of data from interviews of six music educators and six curriculum directors were conducted concurrently with the distribution of a Likert online survey. The interview and survey methodologies provided descriptive data of educators' perceptions regarding the consideration of fine arts as a core subject in policy and practice, the role of public school fine arts in the education of the whole child, the overall value of the fine arts in light of brain research, and the controversy surrounding the standardized assessment of the fine arts. The findings of the study revealed that even though all curriculum directors and music educators agreed the fine arts should be included in a child's holistic education, music educators possessed stronger beliefs regarding the fine arts being considered a core subject, Curriculum directors indicated their districts valued the fine arts as a public relations tool and as a means to boost achievement in other subjects, while music educators in the same district spoke of feeling devalued, indicating a disconnect in communication between administrators and staff. Finally, though many educators oppose the standardized testing of the fine arts, the assessments would provide valuable data.

Full text
Abstract:
Microcomputer applications to fine arts areas of education have received limited attention although the need for interdisciplinary education made evident in a substantial body of literature would seem to make such applications desirable. The use of microcomputers as creative media for the composition of poetry, art images, and music by grade four students at an elementary school in British Columbia, Canada was observed and analyzed in order to discern what actually happened as a result of the juxtaposition of microcomputers and creative aspects of fine arts. Ethnographic research methodology allowed the classroom teacher to conduct the study in a participant-observer role throughout the 1988-1989 school year. As a side aspect to the study, it was observed that students developed problem solving strategies that involved assessments and value judgements which encouraged those students to accept responsibility for their own learning. Word processed poetry engendered visual awareness that promoted extensive editing and proofreading and stimulated exploration of visual presentations in the genre of concrete poetry. Art images of nonrepresentational and abstract styles predominated because microcomputer capabilities supported such compositions and allowed students to experience satisfaction in their work regardless of their personally perceived proclivities toward portrayal in realistic style. The use of microcomputers facilitated image processing: the explorations of single ideas that resulted in the creation of series of related images. The students revealed developmental stages in music composition approaches and perceptions by the manner in which they structured sound into music. The students integrated concepts and techniques that involved poetry, art, and music into single works and thus demonstrated associative thought processing skills. Microcomputers used as creative media in the fine arts areas of poetry, art, and music enabled unique learning outcomes, provided a previously unavailable means whereby the developmental stages of child music composition were able to be observed, and constantly allowed students to be simultaneously creators and observers of their own work. The students were thus in position to concurrently recognize and respond to artistic form: a position in which aesthetic experiences are possible.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Biological Engineering Division, 2005.
Includes bibliographical references.
Chondroitin sulfate is a critical component of articular cartilage due to its contribution to the tissue's resistance to compressive deformation. Alterations in the biosynthesis of this molecule over time could impact the ability of the tissue to perform its necessary functions. Several factors have been shown to alter the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate in cartilage; among them are age, disease, depth of tissue, and mechanical compression. Specifically, mechanical compression has been shown to have a significant effect on the sulfation pattern and chain length and number in cartilage explant studies. The mechanisms that govern these alterations, however, have not been determined. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of mechanical compression on chondroitin sulfate biosynthesis and analyze the roles of two possible mechanisms; enzyme transcription and organelle deformation. The effects of mechanical compression on the transcription rates of enzymes associated with the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate have not been previously studied. To perform this study in a bovine model, portions of the bovine genome had to be sequenced, PCR primers designed, and bulk expression levels determined. Static compression resulted in the significant up-regulation of two genes of interest: chondroitin sulfate and GalNAc 4S,6-sulfotransferase.
(cont.) Dynamic compression resulted in the significant up-regulation of the three sulfotransferases responsible for the bulk of sulfation in cartilage tissue. These results indicate a transient mechanotransduction reaction that differs based on the load regime. The effect of mechanical loading on the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate has been studied previously, however, this study seeks to examine more comprehensive loading regimes. Static compression and release resulted in an increase in 6-sulfation and a decrease in 4-sulfation that lasted to 48 hours after release of compression. Dynamic compression and release had the opposite effect on sulfation ratio, with an increase in 4-sulfation compared to 6-sulfation. The transcription changes seen in this study do not indicate the changes that occur in the end products of synthesis. Other factors may play a larger role, such as precursor availability or transport through the Golgi apparatus. Intracellular organelles react to static compression of the surrounding tissue in one of two manners. The majority of organelles deform much as the nucleus, proportionally in volume and shape to the cell. The Golgi apparatus appears to retain a significant portion of its volume relative to the cell and other organelles. In addition, it reforms structurally into a highly ordered stacked appearance.
(cont.) Osmotic forces within the Golgi may allow it to balance the osmotic load in the cytoplasm and resist compression and altered trafficking of the Golgi may in turn produce the altered appearance. Recent microscopy experiments on the Golgi apparatus utilizing two-photon microscopy have allowed us to examine the reaction of live tissue to static compression. These results illustrate the significant, but differing, effects of static and dynamic compression on the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate. The effects of these compression types on the transcription of enzymes responsible for this biosynthesis cannot fully explain the changes seen in newly synthesized chondroitin sulfate. Organelle reorganization has been shown to occur in response to static load and it is possible that altered organelle trafficking plays a role in this altered biosynthesis. Further studies are necessary to determine the final effect of the altered transcription and organelle structure on the manufacture of this important cartilage molecule.

Abstract:
Art has a definite place in our culture and it plays a significant role there. Yet all the continuing efforts in analytic aesthetics to define art have failed, leading to an impasse. So, we still do not know how to define art. In order to overcome the impasse I argue that a change of philosophical perspective is necessary and I suggest a confrontation between Continental and analytic perspectives on defining art. In Part One I deal with analytic aesthetics. I single out Danto's theory of art as the paradigmatic analytic theory of art. I call attention to the fact that Danto defines art by means of language, a theory of art which is a discourse on the language of art. I show the impact of Danto's theory on the rest of analytic aesthetics. First, I present Dickie's theory of art of and show how he draws from Danto but departs from him later on. Then, I present Tilghman's critique of Danto, and I stress the point that in Tilghman's view the problem with Danto's theory is linguistic in nature. I identify Danto's understanding of language as the source of the problems recent analytic aesthetics has with the definition of art. In this way I locate the current impasse in analytic aesthetics and I claim that the underlying analytic understanding of language is too narrow in order to define art. I show the evolution of Danto's views and I discuss his attempt to enlarge his understanding of language with history. In Part Two I try to suggest a way out of the impasse. I shift the perspective and turn to phenomenology and Ingarden's theory of art. I call attention to the role of language in his philosophy and present his approach as quasi-analytical. Specifically, I interpret Ingarden as the continuator of Twardowski and not of Husserl in his understanding of language. I point to the fact that Ingarden's non-phenomenological view of language is a view that allows of seeing language not only as a container of ideas but also their shaper. I show that Ingarden attributes to language an attentional mode of being, and that he treats it as a means of communication. He exposes its cultural nature and enlarges its understanding with the notion of society. I claim that such a broader understanding of language may help analytic aesthetics overcome the present impasse. In Conclusion, I argue that supplementing the notion of language with the notion of history, as Danto does, or society, as Ingarden does, provides a fuller understanding of language, and consequently of art. Hence, it makes possible the overcoming of the impasse in analytic aesthetics. At the same time, however, I show that the very project of defining art has to be relativized in terms of understanding and responding to the significance of art.

Full text
Abstract:
Summation. A specifically modern approach to the interpretation of art is distinguished, rooted in the insight that cognitivity in interpretation must be oriented by sensitivity to the subject-object paradigm. It is shown that specific modern theory of interpretation has become established in twentieth-century theory and practice. That theory is demonstrated to be a set of interpretative rules. The hidden dependence of those rules on specific conceptions of the nature of a work of art (qua hermeneutic entity) is revealed. Three such conceptions of the work of art that are basic to modern art history are articulated and critically examined by careful attention to actual works. Interpretation is shown to exceed the strictures of each model, with the specific consequence that the meaning of the work of art in modern times is systematically narrowed. Motives for that narrowing are discussed. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Abstract:
This thesis explores the development in the pictorial representation of four important French royal mistresses. It looks at works depicting Agnès Sorel, mistress to Charles VII; Diane de Poitiers, mistress to Henri II; Gabrielle dEstrées, mistress to Henri IV; and Madame de Pompadour, mistress to Louis XV. By placing the portrayals of these women within a historical context, it becomes apparent that there are links between the strength of the crown and the depictions of the mistresses. This thesis traces the development of the imagery associated with these women and demonstrates that as the crown became more and more powerful, the portraits of the kings mistresses became bolder and less disguised.

Full text
Abstract:
All individuals have an innate need to create and explore. They explore creativity through free and spontaneous play. This free play is essential in cognitive development. In organized youth sports children no longer have this opportunity to freely play. Athletics are regimented and restricted in ways that do not allow children to personally experience the sport at an intrinsic level. Young athletes are taught at an early age the significance of extrinsic rewards and motivators. Because of these extrinsic rewards young athletes lose their desire to explore the sport on a more intimate level. They perform robotically the skills and tasks set before for them. All individuality is lost in a world commanding conformity. In this process there are three stages that young athletes go through in losing their desire to play: deprival of pleasure, denial of inquiry, and deprivation of self. These stages are detrimental to the childs ability to deeply connect with athletics. The Loss of Play in Organized Youth Sports is increasing in a world filled with meticulous coaching methods. If we do not change the way childrens athletics are conducted, future generations will lose the personal relationship with sports in the future. The solution is to stop making sports focused on adults, and change them to be child-centered. Allow the children to compete in a world where they are free to explore and learn.

Abstract:
In this project my primary goal was to expose the public to the artistic self that I was so sure of in high school, but had lost in the years following. I was so sure of myself and art while in the confines of middle school and high school. Once I got into college I found myself lacking that confidence, due to the fact that I was surrounded by many great artists and I felt as though I was not so great anymore. I lost sense of who I am as an artist, and put that talent on a back burner in my life. Since I began the creative pulse, I began regaining a sense of who I am, and realized that I had lost something I truly love. In my field project the first year in the creative pulse, I worked at creating a mural for my unborn child. After realizing that I could do that, I gained some lost confidence and decided to do the stage design, lighting, and artwork for a school play and as my final creative project. I would be working with a colleague and friend in this endeavor, which made it seem a little more doable. After tackling the personal task of doing art again, I felt that the next step in reclaiming myself as an artist was to go big. By going big I mean involving everything I am surrounded by on a daily basis: colleagues, students, family, public, radio, news, and newspaper. I felt that by doing this, my artistic self would have no choice but to be shown; it could no longer hide.

Abstract:

My MFA thesis exhibition, Selected Works from the Collection of Michael Cavendish utilizes a curatorial process of selection and display to disrupt the authority associated with authorship. By utilizing curatorial actions such as selecting, organizing, displaying and writing, I am able to justify an object's presence. This critical approach, acknowledges the complex and dynamic space between object, creator, viewing context, and audience.

Abstract:

This project, a film made of short video clips and still photographs, is a continuation of my observation of the urban birds of L.A County: pigeons, seagulls, and herons. There are two other sides that complete the triangle my work relies on: the Hispanic community, which is indirectly present in this document, and me, the outsider/wanderer. This triangle captures an essence of strangeness and uninvited existence that I find in this town, but can be found anywhere else.

I chose the format of the projected film because of its "lack of weight." I like the idea that the project has no real physical presence, that it is all data, or memory. Edward Limonov wrote that back in Russia, he had many books, but immigrants do not have books and now he has only three. I feel much the same about art objects and I find it appropriate that once I leave, carrying a compact disc in its case with me, I will leave no traces behind.
