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 is the first part of a memoir that I have been working on. It deals with my childhood and explores issues I faced growing up with an absentee father, in a single parent household dealing with questions of identity, sexual development, abandonment, love, and grief. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a narrative description of how the incidents that transpired contributed to my extreme independence as an adult.

Artists who create and publish works of art that look like comics but are unreadable are furthering the lack of identity, unity, and clear definition of comics and sequential art. This thesis argues readability as the defining characteristic of sequential art and comics, and it analyzes the readable elements in multiple examples of abstract comics in order to distinguish legitimate abstract comics from comic look-alikes.

Atlanta, Georgia is a hub of commerce and culture, central to its state rankings of fourth for total number for creative industry employees and eleventh in total number of creative industries per capita. Atlanta is home to hundreds of non-profit arts organizations including the world renowned Woodruff Arts Center. Within the city limits, at the heart of all this industry, sits the Atlanta Public School (APS) district. The goal of this thesis is to determine the state of access to art education for students in the APS since the implementation of the High School Transformation Initiative (HSTI) from 2005-2011, a specially designed program for structural reform which divided existing schools into smaller, theme-based, learning centers. A case study revealed an inequality of access to arts education in APS high schools as a result of the HSTI. This thesis places emphasis on the relationship between equal access to arts education in APS and the potential impact of that access on arts participation in the larger community.

This thesis explores the idea of Adaptive Continuous Use as a way to design structures which stand the test of time by providing an inherent balance of identity and flexibility. This balance makes structures long lasting and valuable to the community they exist in. The site of Detroit provides a test ground for Adaptive Continuous Use by facilitating a building design which can exist as a community urban ruin, inviting and habitable with or without legitimate occupation
