As much as I like the effects of low-fire salting, I hesitate to use salt. The hydrochloric acid released into the environment during the salting process creates a dense fog that is not only toxic, but visually offensive as well. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find a source of sodium that would achieve aesthetic results as equally exciting as the effects of salt.

I wanted to produce a body of work related to the problem of decontextualizing objects. By challenging the object's habitual associations, I hoped to provoke a new set of relationships for the viewer. I kept a journal of personal information, dreams and events, that might later provide imagery for and insights into the work. My goal in the endeavor was to acquire concision and complexity in imagistic language, a language in which the definite and the indeterminate would coincide very simply to provoke a variety of unexpected associations.

In order to discover more about the nature of my work, I conducted an investigation of the evolution of symbols generated in a body of work. For the purpose of this study the term symbol was defined as something that represents the term symbol was defined as something that represents another entity by association, resemblance, or convention, specifically, a material object or image used to represent an idea.

After practicing Interior Design professionally for ten years and concurrently watching the rapid expansion of the use of computers in the business world, the problem of incorporating the use of computers into the field of interior design became increasingly important to me. Many designers seem to be rather leery of "the computer" and they are reluctant to accept it as a valuable tool in their design process. One aspect of applying the use of the computer to the interior design field is in the area of pattern generation for fabrics and wallcoverings. It is this area that will be explored in the following project.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between media and content in my work. I began a series of paintings in the fall of 1985 which was based on 35mm transparencies. At this point, the slides were nothing more than a visual aid, a way to augment my technical skills; my chief interest in these paintings was narrative. I was also taking a drawing class at the time, and several times I recycled a transparency I had used with a painting to create a drawing. Sometimes Both versions were relatively successful (though often for very different reasons), other times one version would be more successful than the other. Technical proficiency (or lack of it) did not seem to be the determining factor in these cases.

This study involves an investigation of artist's intent (purpose) and the effects of altering the dimensional structure of a print utilizing the materials as imagery. Concerning the nature of the creative project, The following questions arose: 1. How will changing my current two-dimensional format to a three-dimensional presentation produce the desired intensity of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual depth? 2. What kinds of materials can be combined to effectively produce the desired imagery? 3. What technical problems arise in regard to a supporting armature in the three dimensional structures? 4. How is the artist's intent communicated through the imagery created in the three-dimensional structures?

This paper examines the surface effects of the salt-bisque technique on clay forms and its evolution through the introduction of seven-sodium based chemicals. Genevieve Espinosa walks the reader through a series of tests and procedures in three stages: the formative, decorative, and conclusive (firing) stages.

This paper examines the myth of femininity and the author's own perception towards it through an analysis of seven pieces of art work and related literature. R. Renee Sherrer explores the representation of concepts and the use of image to impart a message.

This study made five hypotheses predictions to investigate the effects of counselor religious values on the client's perceptions of the counselor. The appendices included various information including the 5 counselors who were asked to evaluate another counselor on several different measures (playing as a possible client of the particular counselor).
