Type the title of a journal into the Pitt Cat search line, choose JOURNAL: TITLE as the type of search using the dropdown box. The result will be either an entry for a journal or a listing of one title held by more than one Pitt library. See the example for Art Bulletin below. Art Bulletin Location: Frick Fine Arts Library Art Bulletin Location: Bradford Campus Library Art Bulletin Johnstown Campus Library Art Bulletin [Electronic resource] Location: Available Online • Click the first entry for information on what volumes of the printed edition the Frick Fine Arts Library owns. These must be used in the library. 2 • Click the [Electronic resource] line for information on what volumes are available in the electronic full-text edition. • Note that the electronic edition is available via more than one electronic service and click on the one that covers the date you need. • Academic Search Premier – Currently offers 1975+ • Expanded Academic ASAP – Currently offers 1994+ • InfoTrac – Currently offers 1994+ • J-STOR – Currently archives 1919-2002 • For any of the above, click for year needed, click issue number desired and then click the title of the article needed to display the full-text. Using the Electronic Version of Art Bulletin If you click on the J-STOR archive of Art Bulletin, you will be able to search Art Bulletin in two ways. Search This Journal – Allows the searcher to use a search screen with several keywords or author’s names to retrieve a link to a specific article or all articles published in Art Bulletin by one individual or written on one subject. Browse This Journal – Allows the searcher to click on a link to all volumes of Art Bulletin in the J-STOR electronic collection. Then click on the link to an individual volume. A list of issues published in that volume/year will display. Then click on a particular issue of Art Bulletin and that will display a list of articles published in that issue of the journal. Further Use of the J-STOR Database One has the option of searching across all disciplines and all E-Journals archived by J-STOR (a database of selective digitized journals) to produce a list of archived articles on a particular subject. • In the JSTOR search line, enter a simple search such as PICASSO AND CUBISM • Search results will be listed according to relevancy to the search topic. The above search resulted in such e-journal articles as: • “Revising Cubism” by Patricia Leighten in Art Journal (Winter 1988) • “Picasso and Cubism” by Georges Monnet in October (Spring 1992) • “Cubism 1907-1908: An Early Eyewitness Account” by Edward F. Fry in the Art Bulletin • Several other full text journal articles. • Remember all that is being searched in JSTOR is journal titles that they archive; other results on PICASSO AND CUBISM will be found by searching art databases mounted on the ULS Digital Library (resulting in printed journals and other e-journals that are not indexed in the JSTOR database! 3 One may also search for a particular article within the J-STOR Database. • If one knows an article exists such as a journal article on Picasso’s surrealist paintings on the praying mantis theme, enter selected search terms in the ADVANCED SEARCH form of J-STOR. ANY OF THESE TERMS: Picasso EXACT PHRASE: Praying mantis This search results in two highly relevant full text articles: • Pressley, William. “The Praying Mantis in Surrealist Art.” Art Bulletin 55 (December 1973): 600-615. • Markus, Ruth. “Surrealism’s Praying Mantis and Castrating Woman.” Woman’s Art Journal 21 (Spring 2000): 33-39. List of Art and Architectural History Full Text Journals While all printed journals to which the ULS subscribes are listed by journal title in Pitt Cat, the ULS online catalog that is not the case for all electronic journals! The E-Journal link on the ULS home page described above does not include some of the journals that are available in electronic full text format via the database entitled Art Full Text. The reason is that AFT is not, at this time, compatible with the software that creates the E- Journals link. This also means that the electronic full text journals available in Art Full Text are not listed individually as such in Pitt Cat! The following list provides the user with a nearly complete list of full text art and architectural history journals available in ULS collections. Two Important Notes: 1. Journals that are only available in the printed edition are listed in Pitt Cat, the ULS online catalog and are not included in this list. 2. This list does not include full text titles in fields relevant to art history, such as history, archaeology, Asian Studies and others. To locate full text titles in other fields, use the E-Journals feature on the ULS home page, as explained above.

  • The Destruction of Art
    1 The destruction of art Solvent form examines art and destruction—through objects that have been destroyed (lost in fires, floods, vandalism, or, similarly, those that actively court or represent this destruction, such as Christian Marclay’s Guitar Drag or Chris Burden’s Samson), but also as an undoing process within art that the object challenges through form itself. In this manner, events such as the Momart warehouse fire in 2004 (in which large hold- ings of Young British Artists (YBA) and significant collections of art were destroyed en masse through arson), as well as the events surrounding art thief Stéphane Breitwieser (whose mother destroyed the art he had stolen upon his arrest—putting it down a garbage disposal or dumping it in a nearby canal) are critical events in this book, as they reveal something about art itself. Likewise, it is through these moments of destruction that we might distinguish a solvency within art and discover an operation in which something is made visible at a time when art’s metaphorical undo- ing emerges as oddly literal. Against this overlay, a tendency is mapped whereby individuals attempt to conceptually gather these destroyed or lost objects, to somehow recoup them in their absence. This might be observed through recent projects, such as Jonathan Jones’s Museum of Lost Art, the Tate Modern’s Gallery of Lost Art, or Henri Lefebvre’s text The Missing Pieces; along with exhibitions that position art as destruction, such as Damage Control at the Hirschhorn Museum or Under Destruction by the Swiss Institute in New York.

  • THE STUCKISTS (Est. 1999) "Your Paintings Are Stuck, You Are Stuck
    THE STUCKISTS (est. 1999) "Your paintings are stuck, you are stuck! Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!" Tracey Emin Against conceptualism, hedonism and the cult of the ego–artist. 1. Stuckism is the quest for authenticity. By removing the mask of cleverness and admitting where we are, the Stuckist allows him/herself uncensored expression. 2. Painting is the medium of self–discovery. It engages the person fully with a process of action, emotion, thought and vision, revealing all of these with intimate and unforgiving breadth and detail. 3. Stuckism proposes a model of art which is holistic. It is a meeting of the conscious and unconscious, thought and emotion, spiritual and material, private and public. Modernism is a school of fragmentation — one aspect of art is isolated and exaggerated to detriment of the whole. This is a fundamental distortion of the human experience and perpetrates an egocentric lie. 4. Artists who don't paint aren't artists. 5. Art that has to be in a gallery to be art isn't art. 6. The Stuckist paints pictures because painting pictures is what matters. 7. The Stuckist is not mesmerised by the glittering prizes, but is wholeheartedly engaged in the process of painting. Success to the Stuckist is to get out of bed in the morning and paint. 8. It is the Stuckist's duty to explore his/her neurosis and innocence through the making of paintings and displaying them in public, thereby enriching society by giving shared form to individual experience and an individual form to shared experience. 9. The Stuckist is not a career artist but rather an amateur (amare, Latin, to love) who takes risks on the canvas rather than hiding behind ready–made objects (e.g.

    ATHABASCA UNIVERSITY AN EXPLORATION OF THE POTENTIAL OF MUSIC AND NARRATIVE SONG AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR LEARNING, WITH A FOCUS ON DISTANCE EDUCATION BY Kirk Longpré A thesis submitted to the Athabasca University Governing Council in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF DISTANCE EDUCATION Athabasca, Alberta April, 2004 DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis in memory of my father, Bernard Longpré, for demonstrating to me the significance of hard work and instilling the value of education. iii ABSTRACT This thesis uses the qualitative research methodologies of Educational Criticism and Grounded Theory to explore whether expressive culture in the form of popular narrative song can play a constructive role as an instrument or agent for learning in the context of distance adult education. In chapter one, the author provides a theoretical framework for incorporating popular narrative song into the distance adult learning experience. Chapter two reviews the research literature related to the themes discovered through the interview process involving eighteen individuals that served as the foundation for this study and the research literature associated with several theories of adult learning. In chapter three, the methodology of Educational Criticism and Grounded Theory is explained, the informants and the research sites are described. In chapter four, the themes that evolved as a result of the researcher’s interviews are analysed and presented. Chapter five provides an examination of the relationship between the eight themes that were discovered through analysis and several adult learning theories. In the final chapter, the author reflects on the implications of the relationship between popular narrative song and distance adult learning, and draws conclusions regarding the use of popular narrative song and distance adult education.

  • Chapter 1: Introduction
    Transformative Community Art: Re-visioning the Field of Practice by Catherine Anne McLeod A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Catherine Anne McLeod 2011 Transformative Community Art: Re-visioning the Field of Practice Master of Arts 2011 Catherine Anne McLeod Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract Community art is a multidisciplinary practice that was engendered by two main perspectives on art; a functionalist approach and an „art as essential to humanity‟ approach. These differing ideological positions led to the construction of polarizing dichotomies that divided the field of practice and stagnated the community art discourse. This thesis re-visions community art as transformative community art (T.C.A.) to integrate a diverse range of practice into a distinct, recognizable field, transcend the binaries inherited from its founding fields, and identify the field as an innovative artistic movement and radical practice for social change. In this thesis T.C.A. is employed as a framework for theorizing practice. Threats to T.C.A. from funding structures, cooptation, and institutionalisation are explored and strategies of resistance identified. The concept of T.C.A. is mobilized to identify areas for future work; raising questions and ideas that can contribute to advancing a more complex, nuanced, and productive discourse. ii Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of many people. Foremost I would like to thank all of my colleagues in community art.
