Interpretations : a multi-media presentation based upon personal interpretation of selected poetry : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]

Abstract

The artist had found literature to be a determining influence in life and drew inspiration easily from the written word. The intent of this project was a marriage between art and literature, with the artist giving tangible form to her thoughts and feelings about a small selection of favorite poetry.The artist wished to expand on already explored techniques by experimenting with a variety of media. She intended to use oil paints, watercolor, pastel, steel and stone. By using variations on traditional techniques, she hoped to capture the mood of the poetry.The artist proposed to produce three 4'x4' oil paintings, and three 24"x30" watercolors, and several drawings. Sculptures were also hoped to be included. The orientation of the works was to be primarily horizontal. These works were to be completed to partially fulfill requirements for undergraduate studies in drawing.
