Koroscik Arthur Efland Advisor Marilyn Johnston tment of Art Education Michael Parsons Copyright by Elizabeth Ann Kowalchuk 1992 To my parents, Jo and Tola Kowalchuk 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I began my studies at Ohio State without a clear picture of what getting a doctorate entailed. Oh, I had some ideas. I knew it involved something called research. But, I didn't know what research was, and I wasn't sure if I would like doing it. I didn't know that a doctorate was really about investigating ideas and problems, about inquiry. I didn't know it was about becoming a scholar. I owe my understanding of the nature of disciplined inquiry to the professors in the Department of Art Education. I owe my understanding of what it means to be a scholar to the members of my committee. I express sincere appreciation to my advisor, Judith Koroscik, for encouraging and guiding me through the doctoral process. I thank Michael Parsons and Arthur Efland as well. My friends and family have lived through this experience with me. I thank my mother for her unfailing patience and encouragement. I thank Sam Short, Mary Leigh Morbey, Lorrie Blair, Jeanie Auseon, Rina Shere, Eugenia Costa-Giomi, Candace Stout, and Bob Dalton for advice. 111 friendship and moral support. I thank Sue Carey for convincing the teachers in her district to participate in this study and for helping me to keep writing a dissertation in perspective. IV VITA March 18, 1958.............

    UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA DR. JOE C. JACKSON COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES Edmond, Oklahoma Hemingway: Insights on Military Leadership A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Of MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH By Shawn Dillon Edmond, Oklahoma 2014 Abstract of Thesis University of Central Oklahoma Edmond, Oklahoma NAME: Shawn Dillon TITLE OF THESIS: Hemingway: Insights on Military Leadership DIRECTOR OF THESIS: Dr. G.S. Lewis PAGES: 86 The literature of Ernest Hemingway is rich with military lessons derived from his lifetime of proximity to war and his understanding of soldiers and leaders at all levels as presented through his characters. Hemingway wrote two significant military works that treat deeply the psyche and behavior of soldiers in war: For Whom the Bell Tolls presented a guerilla band led by an American professor named Robert Jordan, and exposed the different types of junior and senior leaders, as well as an ideal soldier in Anselmo, the old, untrained partisan. Across the River and Into the Trees was equally rich in military insights, at a much higher level of command, through the bitter musings of Colonel Cantwell. Hemingway’s fiction represented and reproduced the detailed awareness he had of soldiers and leaders, good and bad. He was born with the natural instinct to lead, and through his proximity to men performing humanity’s most vaunted of tests, he produced a body of fiction that can serve collectively as a manual for understanding soldiers, terrain, and military

  • Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002
    Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam 2002 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012200201_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 7 Director's foreword In 2003 the Van Gogh Museum will have been in existence for 30 years. Our museum is thus still a relative newcomer on the international scene. Nonetheless, in this fairly short period, the Van Gogh Museum has established itself as one of the liveliest institutions of its kind, with a growing reputation for its collections, exhibitions and research programmes. The past year has been marked by particular success: the Van Gogh and Gauguin exhibition attracted record numbers of visitors to its Amsterdam venue. And in this Journal we publish our latest acquisitions, including Manet's The jetty at Boulogne-sur-mer, the first important work by this artist to enter any Dutch public collection. By a happy coincidence, our 30th anniversary coincides with the 150th of the birth of Vincent van Gogh. As we approach this milestone it seemed to us a good moment to reflect on the current state of Van Gogh studies. For this issue of the Journal we asked a number of experts to look back on the most significant developments in Van Gogh research since the last major anniversary in 1990, the centenary of the artist's death. Our authors were asked to filter a mass of published material in differing areas, from exhibition publications to writings about fakes and forgeries. To complement this, we also invited a number of specialists to write a short piece on one picture from our collection, an exercise that is intended to evoke the variety and resourcefulness of current writing on Van Gogh.

  • Realism Impressionism Post Impressionism Week Five Background/Context the École Des Beaux-Arts
    Realism Impressionism Post Impressionism week five Background/context The École des Beaux-Arts • The École des Beaux-Arts (est. 1648) was a government controlled art school originally meant to guarantee a pool of artists available to decorate the palaces of Louis XIV Artistic training at The École des Beaux-Arts • Students at the École des Beaux Arts were required to pass exams which proved they could imitate classical art. • An École education had three essential parts: learning to copy engravings of Classical art, drawing from casts of Classical statues and finally drawing from the nude model The Academy, Académie des Beaux-Arts • The École des Beaux-Arts was an adjunct to the French Académie des beaux-arts • The Academy held a virtual monopoly on artistic styles and tastes until the late 1800s • The Academy favored classical subjects painted in a highly polished classical style • Academic art was at its most influential phase during the periods of Neoclassicism and Romanticism • The Academy ranked subject matter in order of importance -History and classical subjects were the most important types of painting -Landscape was near the bottom -Still life and genre painting were unworthy subjects for art The Salons • The Salons were annual art shows sponsored by the Academy • If an artist was to have any success or recognition, it was essential achieve success in the Salons Realism What is Realism? Courbet rebelled against the strictures of the Academy, exhibiting in his own shows. Other groups of painters followed his example and began to rebel against the Academy as well. • Subjects attempt to make the ordinary into something beautiful • Subjects often include peasants and workers • Subjects attempt to show the undisguised truth of life • Realism deliberately violates the standards of the Academy.

The bravura with which he applied paint lends his world an elegant ease that emerges less as reality than as fraught dream and wish. The unusually stark contrasts in light and dark color he employed to destroy centuries’ old rules of academic decorum morph into social distinctions as much as aesthetic ones (struggles over visibility and invisibility, identity and non-identity, subjectivity and objectivity, order and disorder, hierarchy and chaos).

  • Impressionism
    IMPRESSIONISM Eugène Boudin (1824 – 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "king of the skies.” He opened a small picture framing shop in Le Havre and exhibited artists working in the area, such as Jean-François Millet, and Thomas Couture who encouraged young Boudin to follow an artistic career. Boudin, The Beach at Villerville 1864 In 1857/58 Boudin befriended the young Claude Monet, then only 18, and persuaded him to give up his teenage caricature drawings and to become a landscape painter, instilling in the younger painter a love of bright hues and the play of light on water later evident in Monet's Impressionist paintings. They remained lifelong friends and Boudin joined Monet and his young friends in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1873. Boudin, Sailboats at Trouville 1884 Johan Jongkind (1819 – 1891) was a Dutch painter and printmaker. He painted marine landscapes in a free manner and is regarded as a forerunner of Impressionism, introducing the painting of genre scenes from the tradition of the Dutch Golden Age. From 1846 he moved to Paris, to further his studies. Two years later, he had work accepted for the Paris Salon, receiving acclaim from critic Charles Baudelaire and later on from Émile Zola. Returning to Rotterdam in1865 he moved back to Paris in1861, where he rented a studio Jongkind, in Montparnasse, the following year meeting in View from the Quai d'Orsay 1854 Honfleur Sisley, Boudin and the young Monet.

  • Edouard Manet
    Edouard Manet Edouard Manet (mah-NAY) 1832-1883 French Painter Edouard Manet was a transitional figure in 19th Vocabulary century French painting. He bridged the classical tradition of Realism and the new style of Impressionism—A style of art that originated in Impressionism in the mid-1800s. He was greatly 19th century France, which concentrated on influenced by Spanish painting, especially changes in light and color. Artists painted Velazquez and Goya.

  • Allusions in Ernest Hemingway's the Sun Also Rises
    EDMONDSON, SYLVIA NELSON. Allusions in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. (1971) Directed by: Dr. Roberto. Stephens. Pp.HT2. The Sun Also Rises represents Ernest Hemingway's first serious endeavor as a novelist. For that reason alone, an extended study is meaningful. However, in this novel, Hemingway has made extensive and effective use of the technique of allusion, a literary device seemingly at odds with his characteristic simplicity of style. The allusions are so numerous and varied that they almost defy categorization. Some highly creditable studies have been made but have been limited to a particular allusion or a set of related allusions. No comprehensive study has been made, and this work is an attempt to meet that need. The use of allusion is first related to Hemingway's literary aims, showing it to be a device well suited to his method of saying much while adhering to his self-imposed simplicity and restraint. The allusions are then organized as they relate to tone, structure, characterization, setting, and meaning in The Sun Also Rises. Here the allusions are identified, explained in context, and related to the development of each of these elements. As many of the allusions serve multiple roles, some repetition has been unavoidable. A close study of the allusions in The Sun Also Rises negates many criticisms of this work. Rather than nihilistic, Hemingway's tone is shown to be irony and pity. Instead of lacking structure, the novel's architecture is multiple, interrelated, and meaningful. The characteriza- tion is unconventional, as Hemingway uses "real people" rather than creat- ing caricatures to populate his novel.

    1841–77 Chapter 1 1841–77 Renoir to age 36; a Bohemian Leader among the Impressionists; Model Lise and their Secret Children, Pierre and Jeanne In November 1861, when he was only twenty, Renoir made one of the most fortuitous decisions he ever took: to study in the Parisian studio of the Swiss painter, Charles Gleyre. A photograph around this time reveals that Renoir was a serious, intense young man. Gleyre’s studio was simply one of many that fed into the École des Beaux-Arts (the government-sponsored art school in Paris), where students learned anatomy and perspective through drawing and paint- ing. Te men Renoir met at Gleyre’s would become some of the most important companions of his life. About a year after he arrived, first Alfred Sisley in October, then Frédéric Bazille in November and lastly Claude Monet in December 1862 became fellow students.1 On 31 December 1862, the four were already close friends when they met at Bazille’s home in Paris to celebrate the New Year together.2 Trough these friends, Renoir met Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro, studying nearby at the Académie Suisse. Tese artists would not only become lifelong friends, but would also be of critical importance for Renoir’s artistic Renoir, 1861. Photographer unknown development. In his early twenties, Renoir also made the acquaintances of Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas. Trough them, he later met the two women of his training: ‘Not having rich parents and wanting to be a painter, began by artists, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt. By the early 1870s, all of these painters way of crafts: porcelain, faience, blinds, paintings in cafés.’3 Despite his artisan would form the core of the Impressionist movement.
