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 (vrc@scad.edu)

This thesis focuses on the Western genre in film. The primary focus of this paper is to define what a Western is based on the syntactic and semantic elements generally associated with the genre. The aim of the thesis is to study these Westerns, and then compare and contrast them with other films that may not generally be labeled as Westerns, either because of the location of the film, or because of other thematic elements. In doing this, I plan on showing that a true Western film is more then just the location, time period, or the wardrobe worn by the characters, but has more to do with the thematic elements that work in conjunction with the more symbolic references associated with the Western. After defining the Western, I plan on showing how I used these synaptic and semantic elements in order to build, and execute, my film Dawn.

Ancient people of Japan not only illustrated religious, literary and historical scenes for the aristocracy but also bestiary and morality tales for children. Animals have always been used to teach children, and are even used today, but they are presented and interpreted in different ways. They are used as archetypes that convey moral sensibilities of good and evil. Also, artists created dissimilar creatures and illustrated various stories to reflect the society at different periods of times. This revealed in emaki as well as today’s picture books and manga.

This thesis focuses on Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) implementation in the museum docent core and what aspects of the VTS method prove challenging to docents. The related literature depicts the VTS method and its placement within gallery teaching practices in art museums and examines the significant lack of information regarding the challenges faced by docent managers when implementing the VTS methodology within docent tour programs. The researcher used a multiple-case embedded case study and the Telfair Museums served as a direct observation case. Additional data collected from the Art Institute of Chicago and Smart Museum of Art examined how art museums face similar challenges in docent management when implementing alternative tour methods like Visual Thinking Strategies in their docent tour programming. The researcher chose these specific organizations to create a fuller picture of docent management. Utilizing direct observation, formal and informal interviews, and collection of data through documentation, this study offers a thorough explanation of how education staff responds to docent disengagement.
