Graduate Thesis Collection
Collection of theses from 2010 and later
This database houses the graduate thesis work completed at all SCAD locations from fall 2010 forward. It is keyword searchable and includes both written and visual components, giving the user a broader understanding of both product (digitized studio work) and its underlying concept (the written thesis). The goal of the database is to provide both aspiring MFA candidates timely models of what a graduate thesis should address, and the larger public a sense of the richness of graduate work done at SCAD. Questions regarding this database should be directed to the Visual Resources Center library@scad.edu.

"This thesis uses the storytelling format of a novel to explore themes of family, loss, loyalty and survival. Told through multiple points of view, it focuses on the story of one particular family in the wake of their youngest member’s sudden death. It aims to speak on issues of trust, perseverance and determination, and to question what it is that truly defines family."

This thesis paper was written to provide background information to "Why Say It Again, Why Say It Again", my thesis exhibition at the Dewberry Gallery of SCAD from March 9-23, 2012. Through an explanation of the theoretical, technical, and Art Historical aspects of my painting, this paper describes the ideas that went into my artwork as a whole and how they relate to individual paintings. I have found that the act of painting supplements my research as a way for me to carry out the ideas that refine my understanding of realism in Western Art. The portraits that I paint involve a process of distortion that is a product of my perception translated through the medium of paint. My paintings create identities that are completely unrealistic and are often unrecognizable. Finally, painting is an act of constructing and concealing the identities of the people that I paint and my own.

"This thesis is a collection of hopefully humorous yet poignant essays that detail parts of my life from childhood to present day, specifically parts that deal with my initial rejection and eventual acceptance of the color of my skin and everything that comes along with being a millennial African-American female in the Deep South. These stories start with me as a socially awkward child, growing up in my hometown where I was one of the few black kids and span until college, where I was still just as awkward but began to finally define my blackness and what it means to me. These stories are cumulative of my experience in finding my own cultural identity as well as the experience of learning to use humor to write though a very personal and taboo subject."

This thesis is a collection of essays focused on family, love, death, discovery and understanding. Each essay is independent. However, the sequence deepens the intention of the collection. Although they are not in chronological order, there is a movement through place or space. All events are true and are written how I perceived them.

Film and comic books have always shared an intrinsic narrative relationship. In the late nineties, technological innovations gave filmmakers the edge they'd been waiting for to successfully depict the spectacle of super heroics. With the immediate success of films such as X-Men (2000) and Spiderman (2001), the comic book source material soon began an aggressive surge in aligning themselves with their more lucrative live action progeny. The most evident result being the proliferation of pages comprised almost entirely of wide screen panels. Such panels are rectangular frames, usually page length and twice as long as they are tall. Wide screen panels have always had a place on the page of a comic book, and play an important role in describing graphic beats, as well as inscribing the page with an overall visual rhythm. As artists attempt to mimic the cinematic scope of wide screen film, they subsequently negate many of the storytelling rules that involve very closely, the shape of each panel on the comic page. This thesis aims to explore those rules, how they are applied properly and more importantly, how the improper use can and has in many instances, hindered the reader's full immersion into a well-designed comic book narrative.

We are what we eat. Barbecue proves this point. Your passion for beef or pork, hickory or pecan, sauce or rub reveals where you live, who your people are, and whether you are prone to braggadocio. Award-winning pit master Wiley McCrary refuses to discriminate; he casts a big tent and welcomes all tastes and persuasions to his celebrated Savannah barbecue joint. In a new cookbook, McCrary shares the barbecue wisdom he has earned through more than 30 years in catering, 15 years on the competition circuit, and three years as a restaurateur. This excerpt, intended as a writing sample for a book proposal, is told in McCrary’s words and features 40 of his favorite recipes, all culled from his restaurant and personal collection. These recipes have not been fully tested for the home kitchen.

This thesis looks at the effect of an Olympic event on a city, region and nation, and how the legacy of the architecture for the Olympics effects the city, nation, and world before, during, and after the Olympic events. The 2022 Winter Olympics will be used as the setting for this thesis and Blafjoll, just west of Reykjavik in Iceland, will be the site for this project. This thesis is not trying to design a city for the Olympics, rather it looks at particular Olympic venues. In this case the Olympic Village and an Olympic arena. This thesis is trying to define a suitable legacy for the Olympics and building up the nation that they are being held, through the architecture built for the events.

"Using a poetic selection rather than a comprehensive survey, the work presented in this document proceeds from the idea of home as a site for belonging. Through a context that is at once personal history and collective, common property and individual, it takes on the trivial details of everyday life over broader social and political issues. This paper examines my practice by way of encounter dialogue. It begins at the entrance of a house, moves towards its interior places and eventually makes its way into a public context."
