An Analysis of Space and an Investigation Into the Nature of the Block-Out Process in My Current Work

Description: The purpose of the creative project was to investigate the relationship of figure to ground in a series of paintings in order to better understand how I perceive the space in my work and to analyze the block-out process. Questions regarding the figure/ground relationship are as follow: 1. What is figure, what is ground and what is ambiguous as I see it? 2. What effects do overlapping, shape size, color and value have upon the figure/ground relationship? The portion of the investigation concerni… more

The Combination of Sewing Techniques, Manufactured Fabric, Paper, Paint, as a Creative Process

Description: My problem was to investigate some of the possibilities which have arisen through my previous work by producing twelve fabric pieces and eight paper pieces. Specifically, the following questions were to be examined: 1. Are there traditional designs or techniques in quilts of the past that can be utilized in my own work? 2. Are the primary colors (red, yellow, blue) in manufactured unaltered fabric more effective than painted or altered fabric? 3. Is there a correlation between the color and ima… more

Combining Clay and Light Into Sculptural Forms

Description: This problem concerns the feasibility of combining the elements of light and clay in a sculptural concept of design. The study has determined various procedures of combining the sculptural ceramic forms for the internal inplant of light sources. Specific questions posed were 1. Can the surface decoration be enhanced by external and internal lighting? 2. How does each surface quality, raku, and low-fire salt glaze differ with the interplay of light? 3. In what way may two surface qualities be ap… more

A Computer Solved Scheduling Problem

Description: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the use of the computer in solving complex real time scheduling problems. This problem involves the airline industry and is concerned with the local scheduling of security personnel to the gate areas for outgoing flights from one terminal at Dallas-Fort Worth airport. The purpose of this type of program is to enhance personnel efficiency and management control over a large group of people while cutting the cost of lower management.

The Incorporation of Silkscreen Techniques in the Decoration of Raku-Fired Ceramics

Description: The questions answered by this investigation are as follows: 1. Which silkscreens and stencils will work in screening flat and three-dimensional objects? 2. Which mediums and coloring agents will survive a glaze firing to produce an acceptable image? 3. How can the image be modified by screening during the different stages of a ceramic piece (wet, green, bisque, glazed)? 4. What glazes and glaze applications will be compatible? 5. Generally, what is the relationship between the image and the ob… more

Initial Research for the Development or Purchase of a Computerized Synthesizer For Use as a Composer's Aid

Description: The author's primary goal is to begin research leading ot the attainment of a low cost computer/music system which will allow the composer to write polyphonic music of up to eight voices into a computer through a terminal, and have the music played back by means of computer synthesized sound or by means of a conventional synthesizer controlled by a computer via digital-to-analog converters. The goal system will allow the composer to retreat and hear his product objectively as the painter steps … more

An Investigation of the Sculptural Possibilities of Warp Distortion and Manipulation Through Warp Weighting

Description: The purpose of this project is to investigate the sculptural possibilities of warp distortion and manipulation through the utilization of the weighted-warp process. A secondary purpose is to explore the technique of warp weighting beyond a single fabric layer. It is projected that a weighted layer can be combined with one which is tensioned evenly and tied onto the floor loom (loom tensioned). In this manner, the loom-tensioned layer remains stable. The weighted layer is free to move through th… more

Investigation of Zinc, Magnesium, and Aluminum as Etching Surfaces

Description: The introduction to printmaking in most universities and college directs students to learn the basic techniques of intaglio using zinc. This continues throughout one's academic career, with little emphasis placed on experimentation with other metals. During my undergraduate and graduate studies I etched with zinc. I had wanted to use aluminium and magnesium in order to explore the similar and dissimilar qualities of the three.

A Method for Applying Scientific Subroutine Package in Microprocessor

Description: The scientific subroutine package is one of the most important parts of the software for the scientific industry. By now, most big computers have scientific packages, but applying such a software package in microprocessors requires consideration of the microprocessor's facilities, such as limited main memory, slow execution time, and only a few small registers. In any scientific package, the trigonometric functions are the ones more widely used. This paper discusses a method for implementing se… more

A Report on Control of Access to Stored Information in a Computer Utility

Description: Time-sharing computer systems permit large numbers of users to operate on common sets of data and programs. Since certain parts of these computer resources may be sensitive or proprietary, there exists the risks that information belonging to one user, may, contrary to his intent, become available to other users, and there is the additional risk that outside agencies may infiltrate the system and obtain information. The question naturally arises of protecting one user's stored program and data a… more

A Series of Self-Portraits Made In Jewelry Form

Description: The problem consisted of creating a series of jewelry pieces in metal which embody the concept of a self-portrait. Each piece in the series has a physical outside and an inside area in its structure which together form a conceptual self-portrait. Each piece was partly preplanned in detail and partly spontaneously executed. The spontaneously executed parts of the individual pieces serve to include the presence of the subconscious self-image. The series when viewed as a whole or as individual par… more

The Use of Horizontal, Vertical, and Contour Lamination to the Sculptural Form

Description: The purpose of this problem was to investigate the advantages and possible limitations of horizontal, vertical, and contour laminating to the sculptural form. Specific questions were set forth to help determine the different aspects of these types of lamination. The specific questions for which answers were sought are as follow. 1. How complex a design can be executed by the laminating process? 2. How close to the design will the initial lamination be? 3. What are the best methods of lamination… more

The Use of the Metaphor as Visual Poetry

Description: Up until this time I have made little effort to investigate the mental processes that I use in the development of these metaphors. I believe these processes are on the unconscious or semiconscious level, and I am interested in finding out how these processes work in the development of the metaphors. I believe these processes are on the unconscious or semiconscious level, and I am interested in finding out how these processes work in the development of the metaphors.
