Artist Statement I have always found comfort and warmth in my family. When I am not with them, I find myself clinging to the objects they leave behind as a substitute in their absence. As I began to re-create these objects through paintings and ceramics, I realized that I was creating symbolic portraits of my family. These portraits are tangible family moments preserved in pigment and clay. In recent years, my siblings were deployed to war and I began to represent them as various instruments. These instruments, both musical and tools of war, chronicle who they were and who they are now. Where I once presented guitars and violins, now I include rifles and bombs. In my painting process, I use subtle lighting techniques to reveal objects hidden in the shadows. What little light is present reveals a trigger on a rifle or a string on a violin. I want the viewer to consider firing a shot or striking a chord. My ceramic sculptures also take on both attributes of weaponry and music. I sculpt in porcelain and all the pieces are given the resonating chamber (f-holes) of a violin. Although the pieces resemble bombs and grenades, the hollow white porcelain contrasts the destructive purpose of a weapon to beautiful forms that may be capable of producing a tune. These pieces mirror how I see my siblings, as once beautiful souls that are now used as instruments of war.

Metodologicamente a pesquisa foi realizada por meio da abordagem qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso, sendo o principal instrumento para coleta de dados, a entrevista semiestruturada. As entrevistas foram realizadas em dois momentos: o primeiro com um grupo de 12 jovens entrevistado por cerca de 50 minutos com o objetivo de selecionar os respondentes da entrevista que focou nas questões norteadoras da pesquisa e, no segundo, com cinco jovens sujeitos selecionados, dois rapazes e três moças. Os dados resultantes dessas entrevistas foram analisados à luz da Análise de Conteúdo. Quanto ao método, a pesquisa baseia-se no Materialismo Histórico e Dialético, o qual possibilitou a compreensão da realidade estudada, onde as categorias contradição e historicidade tiveram sua importância para a efetivação desse estudo. Assim, as incursões feitas apontaram que existe um certo distanciamento entre o ensino médio institucionalizado a partir da intervenção da Secretaria do Estado de Educação – SEDUC/PA e o espaço constituído e reivindicado pelo movimento social. Através dessa institucionalização, foi determinado um processo de ensino e aprendizagem fragmentado, excludente, baseado apenas no cumprimento dos módulos. / The research aims to analyze the integration/fragmentation between social knowledge produced by young Palmares II settlement and school Knowledge, the class struggle perspective in the educational environment of higt school teaching Growing in Practice- Para. The research was carried out with the youth of the 3rd year of high school in 2015 and had the locus School Growing up in practice, located in Palmares II settlement in the municipality of Parauapebas- PA. Methodologically research maintains a qualitative approach of a case study. It is the main tool for data collection, semi-structured interview. Interviews were conducted in two stages: the first in a group of 12 young people was interviewed for about 50 minutes in order to select respondents of the interview would focus on guiding questions and the second were interviewed five young subjects who were selected for this research, two boys and three girls. Data from these interviews were analyzed based on the analysis of the content. A reference on the method, is based on the Historical and Dialectical Materialism, which enabled the understanding of the studied reality, where the contradiction and historicity categories had their importance for the realization of this study. Thus, the raids showed that: there is a certain gap between high school institutionalized from the Secretariat of State intervention Education -SEDUC / PA that space constituted and claimed by the social movement. Through this institutionalization was given a fragmented teaching-learning process, exclusionary, based solely on fulfilling the modules.

In the Old Testament there are many references to musical instruments and each one performs its own specific function. Especially in the Psalms we come across quite a few musical instruments. What is very obvious is the vast amount of references to musical instruments in Psalm 150. In the entire Psalms the most references are made to musical instruments in Psalm 150. The question of this study is: What role did the musical instruments play in the composition of the Psalms? The many references to musical instruments in the Psalms are compared to the other references made to them in the rest of the Old Testament. The psalms in which the musical instruments are mentioned, are discussed and sheds light on how the musical instruments are dispersed in the Psalms’ composition. Recent studies on the composition of the Psalms are also discussed. Every musical instrument that occurs in the Psalms is discussed and with the help of iconographic illustrations it is shown how the musical instruments might have looked. A literary analysis of Psalm 150 helps to argue that this psalm is the final doxology and grand finalé of the Psalms. The studies about the musical instruments’ role in the Psalms shows that the musical instruments build up to a crescendo in the Psalms. The Psalms end with a tremendous grand finalé in Psalm 150. The Psalms is regarded in this study as a great musical composition (a symphony) and the entire symphony orchestra is spread throughout the whole of Psalms. At the end of Psalms the whole symphony orchestra plays together and every one and everything that is created by God is called upon to praise and worship the Lord. / Dissertation (MA (Ancient Languages))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Ancient Languages / unrestricted
