| 103 |  | Teeter Totter: project paper | Mary Sinner | For as long as I can remember I've been arranging shapes and playing with space.

| 105 |  | Thinking Inside the Black Box: Automatic Drawings of Celestial Bodies as Memory Metaphor | Lace Padilla | Even though memories may seem like snapshots of the past stored in our minds,; modern Cognitive Neuroscience has revealed that our memories are more closely; related to fiction than autobiography. We use this fiction to create an idea of ourselves; and a conception of the world we inhabit. Yet every... | 2015 | |
| 106 |  | Timepieces | Dow, Valarie | This work involves my exploration of the beauty of places and objects which contain a human history and illustrates my interest in the passing of time.

| 107 |  | Tom Betts & ephemeral realism | Betts, Thomas John | As Tom Betts researches his ontology through the creative act of art a hyperrealist oil painting is produced that alludes to society's consumption of time in an age where temporal states of awareness and interaction are governed by technology.

| 110 |  | The ultimate American icon is the astronaut: who is more heroic or more alone? | Rice, Andrew | My work is about the human condition and specifically about loneliness and melancholy. Who or what is the subject of that loneliness? While I believe in most art as stemming from yourself, from within and somewhat autobiographical, I am confident that I am commenting on people and humanity as a who... | Art/Art History | 2012-12 |
| 111 |  | Van Chu photographic brushstroke | Chu, Van | Photographic Brushstroke, a term that has been an oxymoron, is no longer. Being a visual artist is in many ways like being a singer, if you sound like everyone else then why even bother singing. If you go to my exhibition with a predetermination of what photography is, you will not find a single ... | Art/Art History | 2010-05 |

| 113 |  | Who Sustains Our Tables? | Sara Serratos | According to Jean Baudrillard in L'autre par lui-même (The Other by Itself), reflections and criticisms of our society reinforce the immune system of our thinking and, throughout history, test the social systems that govern us. How have these ideas manifested in and motivated my work? Art in genera... | 2023 | |
| 114 |  | Woodfired ceramics | Christiansen, Eric | This project is a study of the woodfired ceramic process. It is a personal journey that brought me back to the potters wheel in search of forms that could best respond to the effects of the flame and ash.

| 116 |  | You are here: visualizing Provo agriculture an MFA community-based art education final project | Lofgreen, Carlyn | As an undergraduate student, I was consistently taught that art was anything that was in a museum or gallery.

| 117 |  | Zan art | Yamanashi, Keiko | This world in which we live changes blindingly fast, never stopping. Photography is the only method for me to grab a moment in time and to leave it to posterity as a record of truth.

| 118 |  | Zuzanna J. Smolarkiewicz final project paper | Smolarkiewicz, Zuzanna Joanna | The examination of personal identity inevitably leads to questions - the most common of which is what enables the perpetuation of the self.
