Vi lever i ett alltmer uppkopplat samhälle och statistiken pekar mot att det kommer fortsätta i den riktningen. I och med detta bör skolan ta vara på makten som sociala medier har. Potentiellt sett kan vem som helst, oavsett klass, kön, ålder eller etnicitet nå ut till en miljonpublik om rätt kunskap och strategier innehas av användaren i sitt skapande. Därav har samspelet och kommunikationen via digitala verktyg och uttrycksmedel kommit att bli allt viktigare i dagens samhälle. Det regeringsbeslut som togs år 2017 kräver en större insikt i hur den digitala världen fungerar. För att kunna uppnå denna vision behövs en större kunskap inom området digitalisering. Med avstamp i detta berättigas arbetets syfte som är att utforska hur sociala medier används för att marknadsföra nya artistprojekt samt se hur artister ska agera och tänka när ett nytt artistiskt varumärke ska lanseras på Instagram. Tillvägagångssättet för att samla empiri har varit genom intervjuer. Datan har därefter transkriberats utefter ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv och sedan analyserats efter Bourdieus teori. Resultatet visar att Instagram är en viktig del i marknadsföring och lansering av nya artistprojekt. Då sociala medier numera har etablerats som ett kommunikativt verktyg i fältet musikbranschen är det nödvändigt att förhålla sig till det för att nå ut till ett större antal följare. Närvaro på sociala medier utökar artistens existens förbi kroppens fysiska begränsningar. Man kan numera finnas på flera olika forum samtidigt.

As early as 1883, forensic artists and forensic anthropologists have utilized forensic facial reconstruction in the attempt to identify skulls from decomposed remains. Common knowledge dictates that in order to complete identification from the skull with facial reconstruction, the splanchnocranium (also known as the viscerocranium or facial portion of the skull) needs to still be intact. However, there has been very little research conducted (Colledge 1996; Ismail 2008; Wilkinson and Neave 2001) to determine the minimal amount of intact skull that can be present for a reconstruction to still be possible and accurate. Accordingly, in the present study, the researcher attempted to prove that a skull with significant damage to the splanchnocranium could be repaired and facially reconstructed to bear a likeness to the original skull and face. Utilizing FreeForm Modeling Plus Software, version 11.0 (Geomagic Solutions - Andover, MA), in conjunction with the Phantom Desktop Haptic Device (Geomagic Solutions - Andover, MA), five CT scans of males between 19 and 40 years old and of varying ethnicities (four Caucasian and one Asian) were digitally altered to present significant skull damage to the splanchnocranium. The hard tissue digital images were repaired using the same software mentioned above and template skulls (i.e., superfluous CT scanned skulls of similar age, sex, and ancestry). The soft tissue digital images were facially reconstructed also utilizing the same software mentioned above and by following basic tissue depth charts/placement rules and guidelines for feature reconstruction. The reconstructed images were compared to their original CT scans in a side-by-side comparison. Assessors were given a rating scale rubric to fill out that asked them specific questions pertaining to both certain facial features and overall similarity between the original and reconstructed images. Two of the reconstructions each ranked an overall 29% "close resemblance" to their original counterparts, one was ranked an overall 71% "no resemblance" to its original counterpart, and the other three fell somewhere in the middle ("slight" or "approximate") in the rating scale. The results reflected a number of issues related to this project (i.e., the researcher's lack of artistic skill) and to facial reconstruction in general (i.e., tissue depth measurement charts) and showed that while it is not impossible to reconstruct skulls that had been damaged in some capacity, the accuracy of the resulting facial reconstruction is questionable. Future studies would benefit from using an artist to reconstruct the images rather than someone with little to no experience in the field, a larger sample size consisting of one ancestry to avoid the cross-race effect, a comparison of the original skull to the repaired one utilizing Geomagic Qualify (Geomagic Solutions - Andover, MA) to glean an overall view of the project's accuracy, and utilization of a photo lineup as the method of comparison in addition to a side-by-side comparison to give a more realistic feel to the comparison process.

This dissertation significantly expands our knowledge of the biography and artistic contributions of Hughie Lee-Smith (1915–1999), an African American artist. I argue that between 1925 and 1968 Lee-Smith’s personal, educational, and professional experiences within the context of Jim Crow America and the Cold War era influenced the style and content of his figurative work and his opportunities for success. Throughout the dissertation, I examine his inspirations from art history and position his works alongside those of his contemporaries to show that his paintings are based on observations, artistic influences, and imagination. The dissertation’s four chapters are organized around Lee-Smith’s experiences of living during these decades in Cleveland, Detroit, and New York. Chapter one examines his early years (1925–1940) in Cleveland, Ohio, after he relocated from the South to join his mother. He learned to acquire the necessary skills in art, experienced enthusiastic civic and private philanthropic support, and developed a personal philosophy about the ability of art to build a better society. Chapter two moves to Detroit (1941–1950) and considers his commitment to family life, naval service, and further training in art. I examine his role in the radical labor movement and his naval service in nearby Chicago, along with his art activities to promote social change and racial equality. Focusing on the later Detroit years (1950–1958), Chapter three merges the social history of Jim Crow, Detroit’s urban renewal programs, anti-communist scares, and HUAC hearings with an analysis of the imagery of Lee-Smith’s urban and seaside paintings to indicate the psychological tensions he experienced. Chapter four analyzes the impact of his relocation to New York City (1958–1968), a successful transitional period of his life during which he was buoyed by the Civil Rights Movement and gained the recognition he had sought. The Epilogue considers Lee-Smith between 1968 and 1999. By interpreting Lee-Smith’s art within an intimate, extensive biography, we see his world shaped by America’s history of race, poverty, and disenfranchisement. When the parallel histories of America and African America are analyzed together, the meaning of America and American art becomes enlarged and enriched.

abstract: ABSTRACT Stress and burnout in the educational field primarily in teaching is not a new phenomenon. A great deal of research and analysis to the contributing factors of causation to teacher burnout has been executed and analyzed. The struggle of the artist/teacher, hybrid professionals that maintain two concurrent roles, offers a perspective to burn out that has gone unnoticed. The conflict of roles for the artist/teacher does not infer that the teacher role is incapable of reconciling with the artist role but because of this unique scenario the stories of art teachers and burnout often go unheard. Today's public educator is contending with established stress factors as well as emerging and evolving stress factors. How does this phenomenon impact the artist/teacher's ability or inability to be creative? What are the implications of burnout and its impact on artist/teachers personal and professional work? This qualitative study was conducted using Narrative/Autoethnograpy, Narrative/Ethnography and A/r/tography. The stories of four artist/teachers provides in-depth accounts of their experiences as teachers and how that profession has affected their art making process and well being. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Curriculum and Instruction 2012

Este trabalho busca analisar os caminhos do envelhecimento dos artistas idosos residentes no Retiro do Artista Rio-Grandense de Porto Alegre, tentando compreender as tensões entre suas memórias de trabalho na arte e suas circunstâncias atuais de vida. O referencial teórico-metodológico utilizado é a Analise de Discurso da escola francesa no enfoque proposto por Dominique Maingueneau. Os fragmentos de texto utilizados para esta análise provém de entrevistas com três artistas idosos moradores desta instituição, com idades entre os 62 e os 76 anos. Partiu-se de quatro eixos temáticos para organizar a descrição/interpretação do discurso produzido pelo perfil composto pelos sujeitos de pesquisa: o ser idoso e o processo de envelhecimento, o afastamento do trabalho artístico profissional, o viver na instituição e o olhar sobre o passado, o presente e a espera do futuro. Os efeitos de sentido detectados, descritos e interpretados a partir do corpus de pesquisa, formados pelos fragmentos de discurso destacados, mostraram que a proposta institucional do Retiro, apesar de responder a uma necessidade social de abrigar artistas idosos carentes, não chega a preencher sua proposta de oferecer aos usuários um espaço de reencontro consigo mesmos após uma vida pessoal e de trabalho atribulada, que redundou numa velhice desassistida e sem meios. Isto se deve às dificuldades emocionais dos próprios moradores, expostos a diversos fatores de estresse que levam a conflitos intrainstitucionais no domínio do vincular.Os idosos pesquisados dão sentido à sua experiência vivida no trabalho utilizando suas habilidades, então desenvolvidas, como estratégias de enfrentamento dos referidos fatores. A diversidade de impressões particulares sobre a rede de moradores ea instituição que a abriga comprova a natureza singularizante do processo de envelhecimento. / This work searchs to analyze the ways of the aging of the resident aged artists in Retiro do Artista Rio-Grandense de Porto Alegre, trying to understand the tensions between its memories of work in the art and its current circumstances of life. The theoreticiantechnician referencial used is Analysis of Speech of the French school in the approach considered by Dominique Maingueneau. The used parts of text for this analysis were withdrawn from interviews with three living aged artists of this institution, with ages between the 62 and 76 years. It was broken of four thematic axles to make the description/interpretation of the speech produced by the profile composed by the research citizens: the aged being and the process of aging, the removal of the professional artistic work, the life in the institution and the look at the past, the present and the wait of the future. The detected, described and interpreted sense effects from the research corpus, formed for the detached parts of speech, had shown that the institutional proposal of the house, although to answer to a social necessity to shelter devoid aged artists, does not reach to fill its proposal to offer to the users a space to contact with themselves after an afflicted personal and work life, that resulted in an oldness in poverty. The diverse factors of stress and emotional difficulties of the inhabitants display them to conflicts in the domain of tying. The abilities developed in the experience of a life work as artists are used at present as strategies of confrontation of the related factors. The diversity of particular impressions on the net of inhabitants and on the institution itself by citizens proves the particularly singular nature of the aging process.

A presente dissertação tem o objetivo de demonstrar as singularidades perceptivas dos sujeitos ao observar as relações e escolhas de materiais, procedimentos e espaços em suas produções, em artes visuais, considerando a percepção em sua totalidade corporal. O referencial teórico relaciona a fenomenologia da percepção e da matéria, de Maurice Merleau-Ponty e Gaston Bachelard à semiótica sensível de Algirdas Julien Greimas e aos estudos de Eric Landowski; bem como, enfoca os paradigmas estéticos da arte ocidental associando-os às convocações sensoriais no contextualizar do livro de artista em seu potencial de interação com o público e como objeto híbrido na arte contemporânea.Tem como referencial metodológico a pesquisa qualitativa, com descrição e análise de dados no estudo de dois casos referentes à interação corpo-matéria, nos processos de criação e produção de livro de artista, realizados em oficina com arte/educadores, na Universidade Feevale. A análise enfocou a estesia e as sinestesias presentes no processo de criação de cada caso estudado, concluindo que cada sujeito prioriza um dos cinco sentidos corporais, acompanhado de um segundo sentido corporal, conforme demonstram seus processos e produtos. Um dos casos estudados demonstrou a prioridade do tato sobre o sentido visual; o outro caso demonstrou serem mais importantes suas escolhas visuais, seguidas das táteis.As produções finais da oficina trouxeram a discussão sobre livro de artista e livro-objeto encontrando alguns impasses em suas delimitações tangenciando-os à categoria instalação. Considero que o estudo da percepção, na abrangência dos cinco sentidos e nas particularidades perceptivas dos sujeitos, afirma a importância do sensível-inteligível na produção de sentido, contribuindo na formação de arte/educadores e no papel que exercem no conjunto da educação. / The present dissertation aims to demonstrate perceptive singularities of different subjects by the observation of the relations between materials selected, production procedures and spacial choices for their presentation, in visual art, viewing perception as the complex of all body senses. The theorical references relate Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gaston Bachelard’s Perception and Matter Phenomenology to Algirdas Julien Gremas’ Semiopticts of the Senses and Eric Landowski studies, as well as focuses the aesthetic paradigms of Western art, associating them to the sensorial callings in the artist book making in its interaction potential with the public, and as hybrid object in contemporary art. The dissertation has, as methodologic referential, the qualitative research with description and data analysis of the study of two cases that regard the interaction between body and matter in the creative process and production of artist books by art teachers,that took place in a workshop designed for this data collection, at Feevale University. The analysis verified the aesthesis and sinesthesis present in the creative process of each studied case, concluding that each subject gives priority to one of the five body senses, acompanied by a second body sense, as their processes and products demonstrated. One of the studied cases showed the priority of the sense of touch over the visual one; the other case, however, demonstrated that the visual choices were more important, followed by tactile ones. The workshop final productions brought to discussion the differences between an artist book and an object book, which brought a dilemma regarding their delimitations, as they were tending to belong to the installation category. In my opinion, the study of perception, considering the five senses and the perceptive particularities of each subject, emphasizes the significance of the combination of sensitivity and intellect in the p

Esta pesquisa trata do desenho e do desenhar com linhas no campo da Educação e das Artes na perspectiva das Filosofia da Diferença, e, pensa com a vida do Professor-artista, que é aquele que experimenta o desenhar tanto em sala de aula/vida professoral quanto em sua vida de artista/criador. Toma como problema questões que levam a pensar, como produzir vazamentos na representação do desenhar da figura humana para criar fazendo uso de técnicas de desenho. Por isso tem-se por objetivo criar com o desenhar, com a intenção de mostrar como fazer uso dos acontecimentos, acidentes, erros e catástrofes como potência para a criação. Desse modo, busca-se metodologicamente investir na experimentação criando/pensando com linhas, tanto na escrita quanto no desenhar. Fala-se em “com” por pensar/criar com as próprias linhas que são produzidas em processos de experimentação. Seja, com Linhas DeZenhantes, dando forma, volume, textura ao compor Figuras que tentam não se fixar em modelos ou representações idealizadas. Linhas essas usadas na criação de desenhos que não se tratam de figuras humanas, mas que podem sugerir imagens de partes do corpo humano. Seja, também, com Linhas de Escrita, ao produzir escritas poéticas juntamente com as Linhas DeZenhantes, levando em consideração que a escrita neste processo de experimentação também vem a ser desenho. Criar/Pensar/Experimentar nesta pesquisa se dá com a noção de intercessores de Gilles Deleuze, além de outros de seus textos, produzindo nos encontros com obras variadas de Francis Bacon, Giacometti e Van Gogh, algumas pranchas de Frank H. Netter, Sandra Corazza, Paola Zordan, entre outros. Com isso compõem-se desenhos nomeados nesta pesquisa como Figura corpo. Assim, com o próprio desenhar em contato com os materiais escolhidos para a produção dos desenhos, se compõe com estas diferentes linhas, num devir-tecelão. São tecidas Figuras corpo com o traçar de linhas diagramáticas, rotas nômades sobre territórios que ziguezagueiam entre paisagens ora familiares, ora desconhecidas, criando e vindo a criar com os percursos de desenhar-escrever/escrever-desenhar. / This research deals with the drawing and draw with lines in the field of Education and the Arts in view of the difference of philosophy, and thinks with the life of the teacher-artist who is one who experiences the draw both in the classroom / life professorial as in your life of artist / creator. It takes as problem issues that lead to think, how to produce leaks in the representation of the human figure drawing to create making use of drawing techniques. So has the objective to create with drawing, with the intention of showing how to make use of events, accidents, mistakes and disasters like power to create. Thus, they seek to invest in methodological experimentation creating / thinking with lines, both in writing and in drawing. There is talk of “with” to think / create with their own lines that are produced in experimental processes. Be with Drawing lines, forming, volume, texture when composing figures that do not hold in models or idealized representations. These lines used in the creation of drawings that are not human figures, but that may suggest parts of the human body images. Also, with writing lines, to produce poetic written together with drawing lines, taking into account that writing in this experimentation process also comes to design drawing. All of this, produce drawings named in this research as body figure. In addition the text of this research made of lines that are crossing, intertwine, are interwoven, missives lines, invented and / or dissertative. Create / Think / Try this search is with the notion of intercessors of Gilles Deleuze, and other of his texts, producing in meetings with various works of Francis Bacon, Giacometti and Van Gogh, some planks of Frank H. NeWtter, Sandra Corazza , Paola Zordan, among others. With that consist drawings named in this research as Figure body. So with the draw itself in contact with the materials chosen for the preparation of the drawings, it is made with these different lines, a becoming-weaver. Figures are woven body with trace of diagrammatic lines, nomadic routes on territories that zigzag between landscapes sometimes family, sometimes unknown, creating and been creating with the paths of drawing-write / write-draw.

Paisagens permeáveis trata-se de uma investigação em desenho a partir do qual levanta-se uma discussão acerca do olhar sobre os espaços mais próximos (espaço da casa) que se desdobram nas distâncias do espaço exterior (quintal, natureza), considerando o aspecto material destes motivos. Chamo dialética do espaço, esse movimento de interpenetração que se dá a partir do olhar, e que perpassa, enquanto conceito e problema a serem resolvidos no plano das imagens, todos os trabalhos aqui apresentados. A relação dialética entre o próximo e o distante presente na elaboração das imagens, aliada às materialidades empregadas e sua tatilidade evidente, bem como o trabalho de recorrer às memórias pessoais, familiares e por fim, às memórias da matéria dos próprios trabalhos, proporciona o nascimento de imagens permeáveis que formulam a paisagem. / Paisagens permeáveis it is a research about drawing from which rises a discussion about the way of looking at closess spaces (space of the house) that unfold over distances of outer space (backyard, nature), considering the material aspect of these situations. I call dialectic of space, this movement of interpenetration that is given from the look, and that runs through, as a concept and problem to be solved in the image environment, all the works presented here. The dialectical relationship between the near and the distant present in the preparation of images, combined with employed materiality and its apparent tactility, and the work of resorting to personal memories, family and finally, the memories of the matter of their own works, gives birth to permeable images that formulates landscape.

Este trabalho possui como tema o mercado da arte em Porto Alegre entre as décadas de 1990 e 2000, com foco no que denominamos de mercado da arte contemporânea. Volta-se a uma abordagem a partir do produtor primário, em outras palavras, o artista. Ou seja, na tríade “produtor, intermediários e consumidor”, a perspectiva adotada está centrada no produtor. Possui como objetivo averiguar e compreender as mais variadas mercadorias produzidas e comercializadas pelos artistas, assim como sua inserção em um mercado de trabalho. Deste modo, esta pesquisa não se limita a considerar somente o processo de compra e venda de obras, mas se propõe a entender e refletir sobre como os artistas participam de um processo produtivo e mercadológico entre 1990 e 2012 em Porto Alegre. Para tal entendimento, constitui-se uma pesquisa interdisciplinar entre arte, sociologia e economia, tendo como aporte teórico Pierre Bourdieu, Domenico de Masi, Michael Hardt, André Gorz e Maurizio Lazzarato. A pesquisa foi constituída a partir de três vertentes. A primeira, via entrevistas com atores locais do campo artístico (artistas, colecionadores, galerista, curadores, professores universitários). A segunda, através de enquete disponibilizada e divulgada via internet, que pretendeu atingir o maior número possível de agentes locais. A terceira, por meio de revisões bibliográficas a respeito da estrutura e história de um sistema artístico e seu mercado em Porto Alegre. Assim, esta proposição discute a condição do artista inserido em um sistema artístico, produtivo, mercadológico e seus meios de aquisição de capital financeiro, simbólico e de permanência no campo. / The theme of this work is the art market in Porto Alegre between the decades of 1990 and 2000, focusing on what we call contemporary art market. Its approach is on the primary producer, in other words, the artist. I.e., in the triad "producer, middlemen and consumers", the adopted perspective is centered on the producer. It is aimed at finding out and understanding the various goods produced and marketed by the artists, as well as their insertion in a labor market. Thus, this research is not limited to considering only the process of buying and selling works, but it aims to understand how artists participate in a production and a marketing process between 1990 and 2012 in Porto Alegre. For such understanding, it constitutes an interdisciplinary research between art, sociology and economics, having as theoretical basis Pierre Bourdieu, Domenico de Masi, Michael Hardt, André Gorz and Maurizio Lazzarato. The research has three strands. The first one, via interviews with agents from the local field (artists, collectors, gallery owners, curators, university professors). The second one, through a survey available and disseminated via the Internet, which sought to reach the largest possible number of local agents. The third one, through literature reviews on the structure and history of an art system and its market in Porto Alegre. Thus, this proposition discusses the status of the artist inserted into an artistic, productive and marketing system and their means of acquisition of financial, symbolic and permanence capital in the field.

Esta dissertação tem como campo empírico uma determinada escola da rede privada de Porto Alegre, RS (Escola Projeto), que contempla a arte contemporânea em seu currículo e que convida artistas a construírem esse trabalho em parceria. Como proposta de investigação, busca olhar para os movimentos que esse modo de pensar a arte provoca em professoras e artistas visuais que se aventuram para, juntos, viverem a escola e a educação, produzindo pensamento e estranhando práticas naturalizadas e acomodadas pelo tempo e pelo uso. Pensar o estranhamento nas práticas docentes, instigadas pelas provocações da arte contemporânea, sugere uma aproximação à noção de discurso, tendo em Michel Foucault o principal referencial teórico. Discurso que emerge a partir de conversas e entrevistas com os sujeitos de pesquisa e que são analisadas dentro do campo discursivo que as envolve, neste caso, arte e educação. Movimentos e discursos interessam a esta pesquisa, pois atuam no sentido de olhar para as práticas tidas como mínimas ou basiquinhas, termo usado por um dos sujeitos de pesquisa, e contribuem para pensar na contramão da acomodação e da generalização, tão presentes no modo como a escola vem se constituindo historicamente. Por tratar da arte e da docência, encontrando pontos de encontro e de conflitos entre os fazeres artísticos e pedagógicos, termos como rigor, criação e participação são analisados desde esses dois pontos de vista. Ao olhar para esses encontros, apostando na possibilidade de exercícios de modificação, criação e compartilhamento, ganha força o conceito de docência artista, apresentado por Luciana Loponte, na relação com uma formação docente artista, termo que nasce nesta pesquisa e que se refere a uma formação contaminada, acompanhada e encharcada pelo contato próximo com a arte contemporânea, capaz de rever as relações mais seguras sobre ensinar e aprender, nas artes e para além delas. Desse modo, mais do que buscar resultados ou apontar soluções, esta dissertação busca realizar apostas: na docência, com suas dúvidas e estranhamentos; na escola, com sua possibilidade de educar sem consolação; na arte contemporânea, com sua abertura para provocar rupturas e para desestabilizar o pensamento. É, portanto, nos encontros entre docência, escola e arte contemporânea que esta escrita desenvolve-se, adquire intensidade e potência. / This thesis has as an empirical study a certain private school in Porto Alegre, RS (School Project), which includes contemporary art into its curriculum as well as invites artists to build this partnership work. The bulk of this thesis is devoted to looking at what the moves that this way of thinking art instigate teachers and visual artists who venture to jointly live school and education, reasoning and wondering practices which are naturalized and accommodated by time and use. Thinking strangeness in teaching practices, instigated by contemporary art provocations, suggests an approach to the notion of discourse, having Michel Foucault as the main theoretical framework. Discourse that emerges from conversations and interviews with research subjects that are analyzed within the discursive field that these conversations involve, namely, art and education. Moves and discourses are subjects of interest to this research as they act in order to look at the practices taken as minimal or rough (basiquinhas), a term used by one of the research subjects, and contribute to think against of the grain of accommodation and generalization, as present in the way school has historically constituted. As this thesis discusses art and teaching, finding junction and conflict points between artistic and pedagogical doings, terms such as strictness, creation and participation are analyzed from these two standpoints. When looking at these junctions, focusing on the possibility of modification, creation and sharing exercises, gains strength the concept of artist teaching profession (docência artista), presented by Luciana Loponte, in relation to an artist teacher training (formação docente artista), a term born in this research which refers to an infected training, soaked and accompanied by close contact with contemporary art, able to review the most secure relationships on teaching and learning in the arts and beyond. Thus, more than seeking results or pointing solutions, this thesis aims at investing: in teaching, with its inquiries and strangeness; in school, with its ability to educate without consolation; in contemporary art, with its opening to cause disruptions and to destabilize the thought. It is, therefore, matches between teaching, school and contemporary art that this thesis develops, acquires intensity and power.
