Item DXI Dyslexia & Innovation: Spotlighting the Strengths of the Dyslexic Mind(Montana State University, 2021-04) Conger, Jeffrey; Pennington, Sarah; Parrish Takes The Gun, Christian; Dyer, Lynsey; Weitzman, Cliff; Robb, Marley; Cruzado, WadedThis publication highlights the speakers from the 2019 Dyslexia & Innovation Symposium which took place at Montana State University on October 29 & 30, 2019. The publication features Christian Parrish Takes The Gun, Lynsey Dyer, Cliff Weitzman, Linda Siegel, & Marley Robb, as well as a welcome message from MSU President Waded Cruzado.Item Purple Dreamscape and Soft Green Haze(Montana State University, 2021-11) Ross, Olivia“Soft Green Haze” and “Purple Dreamscape” are two oil paintings on wood panels by Olivia Ross, a Studio Art student at Montana State University. In creating these two works, Olivia looks to examine how narrative and aesthetic choices draw a viewer into a piece. Olivia removed any indication of a clear narrative or recognizable spaces and instead relies on abstraction to prompt an audience to engage. Olivia found even with the absence of these the viewer is enticed to explore further, not only in physical proximity to the work, but in projecting their own ideas onto it. Olivia thinks that this inclination to create one’s own relationship with a piece when there is no clear narrative to grasp makes a nontangible, abstracted space that’s much more reactively powerful.Item ARTZ 217 COVID-19 Assignment(Montana State University, 2020-05) Janzen, Gesine; Cox, Stormy; Lofing, SkylarThis is a course assignment collected from ARTZ 217 as part of the MSU COVID-19 Special Collection in response to the pandemic of 2020.Item Visualizing Native America: Examining Depictions of Nativeness in Montana Institutional Spaces(Montana State Univeristy, 2017-04) Russette, KristieMuseums, information centers, and monuments all serve as institutions that shape public memory. In Montana, a state with a large Native American population, these institutions contribute to the way that Native groups are remembered and perceived by the public. As pedagogical spaces, Montana institutions project a specific body of images that signals to viewers how to think about Native American culture. The current study extends the dialogue concerning the representation of Native American/indigenous peoples in various institutions and its impact on the dominant public, especially non-native audiences.Item Direct welded sculpture for Immaculate Conception parish(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1969) Olson, Leo L.Item Fourth Style responses to 'period rooms' of the Second and Third Styles at Villa A ("of Poppaea") at Oplontis(2015-02) Gee, ReginaThis essay presents selected examples of the Fourth Style at Villa A (\of Poppaea\") at Oplontis as viewed through a particular analytical lens (for a plan of Villa A, see Abb. 1 in J. R. CLARKE’S article in this volume). The Fourth Style visually dominates at Villa A in total area, but with the exception of the spectacularly vivid garden rooms of the east wing, appreciated for their glowing colour and sophisticated alignment, it is the least-well examined among the three styles present. Not without reason the show-stopping Second Style rooms, particularly the atrium (5) and triclinia (*4, 2ª), have garnered the lion\'s share of attention. In *9+7, J. CLARKE published the first detailed study of all the third Style ensembles 1. The complete record of surviving wall paintings reveals an art historical narrative more complex than a sequenced unfolding of Second, Third, and Fourth Styles 2. This history is shaped by but not utterly dependent on the attendant story told by earth- quakes and economics, and the style narrative undermines attempts to create a straightforward progression through discrete categories, offering up instead a series of permutations and combinations. 5ithin the larger and longer dialog in contemporary scholarship on diachronic studies versus the synchronic consideration of wall paintings as meaningful markers of social use, this examination is intended to mediate between the two. I use both methods of inquiry to consider Fourth Style paintings inserted within earlier decorative programs at the villa. The corpus of \\ampanian wall painting gives examples of painting preservation in the comprehensive decorative system of a house along a calibrated scale of removal, true restoration, or a combination of old and new sections3. This examination considers all three responses in the material record of the villa with an emphasis on the choice by the artists to reveal or conceal the stylistic intervention within the earlier work. The Fourth Style\'s complexity in terms of repertoire and the ability to respond to previous styles is made explicit in a new way in this case study.Item Tangible dreams and inner visions(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 1989) Pepion, ErnestMy paintings are born from the integration of my Native American culture, handicap experiences, and dreams for which I have created symbolisms that draw the viewer into my paintings. While the subjects of my paintings are very personal, the viewer is able to transcend personal histories to share the powerful language of emotions.Item A proposed mural for the Museum of the Plains Indian at Browning, Montana, with study based on personal adaptation of remembered themes or motifs(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 1964) Parsons, Neil HenryItem Computer Education in Sanambele, Mali(2013-03) Mosdal, Tessa; Rolph, Bronwyn; Blaskovich, Christie; Hinckley, Samantha; Giusti, AdaThe village of Sanambele, Mali currently possesses a laptop but the villagers do not know how to operate a computer. Those in Sanambele have requested help with learning how to use their computer. I developed a basic user manual for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint which are three programs that I believe the teachers, students and other villagers will find the most useful. An English and translated French version of the manuals will be taken to the village and left with the community for further reference. The manuals are also going to be used by the members of the Altas Cultural Foundation (ACF) in Zawiya Ahansal, Morocco. I am traveling to Morocco in March to conduct computer education workshops for the ACF members. A copy of the manuals will be left with them for additional guidance. Providing manuals for both the communities in Mali and in Morocco will prevent the members of the community from losing the knowledge they will have received. I hope I will have offered these people a lasting method of improving their education.Item My Skeletons Prefer the Kitchen(2013-03) Thornton, Jordan; Mast, SaraI will be creating a painting installation that, using primarily acrylic paint and found cabinet doors, was inspired by the following quote from Howard Thurman: “Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Conceptually, the project has diverged from the quote and become a series of “portraits” of what would be inside my cabinet or the cabinet of someone I know that inspired me. I will be further researching how this connects to Thurman's quote as well as creating a specific artist's statement that gives the viewer insight on how to interact and interpret the installation. Visually, I will be collecting found cabinet doors, drawers, etc. to paint on and creating imagery using acrylic as well as pages from my sketchbooks, letters, photos, and anything that is important to visualizing the concept. The cabinets will be installed in a cluster around a corner of a room. The doors will open. Images, whether paint or collage, will be on both sides. Across the room from the cabinets will be seating and a table of some sort with a handmade book that contains process imagery, research information, or anything important to the concept. The furniture will be painted as a continuation of the cabinets. The installation will be interactive. The audience will be encouraged to open the doors and flip through the book.
