    1 Teaching Visual Art with the Brain in Mind A thesis presented by Karen G. Pearson to the Graduate School of Education In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education In the field of Education College of Professional Studies Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August 20, 2019 2 ABSTRACT Critical periods of perceptual development occur during the elementary and middle school years. Vision plays a major role in this development. The use of child development knowledge of Bruner, Skinner, Piaget and Inhelder coupled with the artistic thinking theories of Goldschmidt, Marshall, and Williams through and the lens of James J. Gibson and his ex-wife Eleanor J. framed the study. Sixteen 8-10-year-olds over eight one-hour weekly meetings focused on how they see and learn how to draw. The study demonstrated that the perception of the participants followed the development of the visual pathway as described in empirical neural studies. Salient features presented themselves first and then, over time, details such as space, texture, and finally depth can be learned over many years of development. The eye muscles need to build stamina through guided lessons that provide practice as well as a finished product. It was more important to focus on the variety of qualities of line, shape, and space and strategy building through solution finding and goal setting. Perceptual development indicators of how 8-10-year-old elementary students see and understand images will be heard from their voices. The results indicated that practice exercises helped participants build stamina that directly related to their ability to persist in drawing.

    SQS Bespectacular and over the top. On the genealogy of lesbian camp 02/07 Annamari Vänskä 66 In May 2007, the foundations of the queer Eurovision world seemed to shake once again as Serbia’s representative, Queer Mirror: Perspectives Marija Šerifović inspired people all over Europe vote for her and her song “Molitva”, “Prayer”. The song was praised, the singer, daughter of a famous Serbian singer, was hailed, and the whole song contest was by many seen in a new light: removed from its flamboyantly campy gay aesthetics which seems to have become one of the main signifiers of the whole contest in recent decades. As the contest had al- ready lost the Danish drag performer DQ in the semi finals, the victory of Serbia’s subtle hymn-like invocation placed the whole contest in a much more serious ballpark. With “Molitva” the contest seemed to shrug off its prominent gay appeal restoring the contest to its roots, to the idea of a Grand Prix of European Song, where the aim has been Marija Šerifović’s performance was said to lack camp and restore the to find the best European pop song in a contest between contest to its roots, to the idea of a Grand Prix of European Song. different European nations. The serious singer posed in masculine attire: tuxedo, white riosity was appeased: not only was Šerifović identified as shirt, loosely hanging bow tie and white sneakers, and was a lesbian but also as a Romany person.1 Šerifović seemed surrounded by a chorus of five femininely coded women.

In order to counteract previous decontextualized and over-universalizing discussions of contemporary Chinese art, most art history, theatre, and performance studies scholars have emphasized how art and culture emerged within specific historical and political contexts. However, by repeatedly relying on contextualization, the Chinese are reproduced as lacking imagination, contradictions, and complexity. By examining the historical emergence of this discourse, I demonstrate the limits of past approaches in order to explore other methodological possibilities. In contrast to other scholars who have situated contemporary Chinese performance and art within over-determined modes of contextualization, this dissertation locates alternative methodological possibilities in affect and feelings.

  • Theuse of Cuteness in Japanese Advertising
    SWEET SPOTS: THEUSE OF CUTENESS IN JAPANESE ADVERTISING Andreas RIESSLAND This article looks at Japanese society through its advertisements. To be more precise, it examines the utilization of a certain social value-.. cute­ ness - within advertising contexts. The focus is not so much on the per­ ception of 11 cuteIl advertising, i. e., on how an audience in Japan discerns and interprets signifiers of cuteness in ads, but on how advertisers in Ja­ pan utilize 11 cute" images for advertising purposes and to what ends. Advertisements, if properly analyzed, can provide useful hints as to what a sodety's values are. Through the idealized IIrealities" they display, they are suggestive of what is defined as desirable and positive. Converse­ ly, they also give clues about sodal restrictions and taboos through matters they avoid showing (such as the colour red in ads for sanitary pads). Look­ ing beyond the advertised commodity and investigating the IIsodal reali­ ties" displayed in the ad, we can get a pretty clear idea of what values and ideas are of relevance within a given sodety. What makes this possible is the fact, that contrary to the image of avant-garde and cutting-edge trend­ iness which ad makers try to promote for themselves, in their ads they tend to promote the conservative end of sodety's value spectrum (WERNICK 1991: 24). The reason for this is obvious: Evenwhenit targets a limited audience, an ad canachieve maximum acceptance withinits target group onlybynotgo­ ing against the sodal value system prevalent in this group. A certain dra­ matic toying with some of the sodal standards may be permissible and use­ ful for raising attention, but, on the whole, a consdous violation of audience expectations in advertising (such as Benetton's controversial poster cam­ paign) is extremely rare.

  • Softening Power: Cuteness As Organizational Communication Strategy in Japan and the West
    © 2018 Journal of International and Advanced Japanese Studies Vol. 10, February 2018, pp. 39-55 Master’s and Doctoral Programs in International and Advanced Japanese Studies Iain MACPHERSON & Teri Jane BRYANT Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Tsukuba Article Softening Power: Cuteness as Organizational Communication Strategy in Japan and the West Iain MACPHERSON MacEwan University, Faculty of Fine Arts and Communication, Assistant Professor Teri Jane BRYANT Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary, Associate Professor Emerita This paper describes the use of cute communications (visual or verbal, and in various media) as an organizational communication strategy prevalent in Japan and emerging in western countries. Insights are offered for the use of such communications and for the understanding/critique thereof. It is first established that cuteness in Japan–kawaii–is chiefly studied as a sociocultural or psychological phenomenon, with too little analysis of its near-omnipresent institutionalization and conveyance as mass media. The following discussion clarifies one reason for this gap in research–the widespread conflation of ʻorganizational communication’ with advertising/branding, notwithstanding the variety of other messaging–public relations, employee communications, public service announcements, political campaigns–conveyed through cuteness by Japanese institutions. It is then argued that what few theorizations exist of organizational kawaii communications overemphasize their negative aspects or potentials, attributing to them both too much iniquity and too much influence. Outside of Japan studies, there is even less up-to-date scholarship on organizational cuteness, critical or otherwise. And there are no such studies at all, whether focused on Japan or elsewhere, that integrate intercultural insights.

  • Cuteness": the Aesthetics of Social Relations in a New Postwar Japanese Order
    CAPITALIZING ON "CUTENESS": THE AESTHETICS OF SOCIAL RELATIONS IN A NEW POSTWAR JAPANESE ORDER Leila MADGE In the fall of 1988, Yoshida Kenji, the president of the San'yo Sago Bank in Okayama, made headline news in the economics section of leading Japa­ nese newspapers. Unlike most bank presidents appearing in the news at that time, Yoshida was not defending himself or his bank from accusations of wrongdoings. He had made the national news because of the new name he had chosen for his bank: Tomato Bank. The occasion for the new name was the bank's planned change in status from a savings and loan associa­ tion to a commercial bank following a recent reform in Japanese banking law. The hoopla that arose around the name "Tomato," along with the bank's bright red logo, was related to the associations that it conjured up in many Japanese minds, associations that somehow seemed incongruent with the image that banking institutions have traditionally held in Japan. Although there was some initial opposition among bank employees, who felt that the name Tomato sounded more appropriate for an agricul­ tural cooperative than for a bank, the public response seemed only posi­ tive. Although the conversion was not to take place for six months, Sanyo Sago was inundated with inquiries from people all over the country wish­ ing to open accounts at the new Tomato Bank. In interviews about the un­ expected popularity of the previously little-known prefectural bank, Yoshida explained that he thought it important to send the message that he was "breaking the status quo." A crucial element in the delivery of this message was the use of a name that would be perceived by the public as kawaii (cute, as translated in the Japan Times, 21 October 1988: 11).

    GAY-CENTRIC IDENTITY: A CHALLENGE TO GAY CULTURAL SCRIPT, GAY GHETTO AND PERFORMANCE by Robert D. Beebe III A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida December 2008 Copyright by Robert D. Beebe III 2008 ii ABSTRACT Author: Robert D. Beebe III Title: Gay-Centric Identity: A Challenge to Gay Cultural Script, Gay Ghetto and Performance Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Noemi Marin Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2008 For many gay men performing a gay-centric identity can be challenging. By adopting a set of expected behaviors known as the gay cultural script, many of these men are potentially met with discrimination from both heterosexual and homosexual communities. The gay cultural script is readily available as it is found within the gay ghettos and through various representations of gay men in the media. This research question examines how the gay cultural script when found within the gay ghetto and through the media’s representation of gay men provides a lens to which the performance of a gay-centric identity may be communicated and shared. The focus of this research is separated into three interconnected areas: (1) exploration of gay-cultural script, (2) location to which the gay cultural script operates and, (3) analysis of the relationship between the gay cultural script and gay-centric identity performance. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER ONE: Challenges for a Gay-Centric Identity . 1 Cultural Script and Gay Cultural Script.

It was created by Philip Wagner and is directed at USF by Benjamin Wells. With the support of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, its goal is to bring art to the math classroom and math students to the art museum, enhancing existing curricula in order to improve basic and advanced skills, standard-oriented test scores, and students’ interest in mathematics. Keywords: mathematics education, math in art museums; art in math classrooms; museum-school mathematics collaboration AMS Subject Classification: 97D40, 97B50, 97U99 1. History and background In the new century, the United States government recognized the need to improve knowledge and skills in language and mathematics, and so the US authorized the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) program in 2002. Under this program the performance of public schools has been judged on standardized test scores in language and mathematics. Review of the well-publicized testing results over the years indicates that that California students rank below their peers in other states and US students rank below their fellows in other countries based on similar testing.

In this piece, I highlight various intersections of Camp and queerness over the last century and attempt to understand Camp’s place in High Fashion today.
