Limitlessness and the sublime: illuminating notionsThompson, Grant January 2008 (has links)
This project explores the basic tenets of abstract expressionism and is considered in relation to the idea of the sublime, limitlessness and the formless. In this research I am interested in investigating the progression from two-dimensional non-representational painting, through experimentation with light mediating materials to projection of the painting via the medium of film. Light is used to intensify the image with a view to expand the viewer’s awareness and understanding of the sublime. The research seeks to find ways that allow the viewer to explore the feeling of uncertainty and the sensation of wonderment. Through an ephemeral spaciousness that has no boundaries, the spectator is encouraged through contemplation to transform their experiences of the finite in order to approach the infinite and the sublime.

The Fear of Aging and the Self: A Heuristicaly Influenced StudySteingart, Leia R. 01 May 2018 (has links) (PDF)
This research paper is an art-based heuristic influenced study on the fear of aging and the self using an art-based modality of exploration. The researcher sought to study three questions. First, to explore the relationship between aging, beauty, youth, and social pressures. Second, to explore the fears related to aging, (losing appearances, finance, health, and death). Thirdly, to considering the implications of findings to the clinical realm. The art based methodology offered a form of investigation which, informed by heuristic steps of inquiry, augmented both personal meaning and growth. Data consisted of art made over a three-month period as well as structured journaling regarding the research questions and art making process. The imagery, journaling and observations were then collected during the illumination and explication phase, culminating in a final art response of the findings in a creative synthesis.

Previous issue date: 2008-09-23 / Pontif?cia Universidade Cat?lica de Campinas / This is a qualitative exploratory research, with the objective of describing elements that are present in the experience of singing, through the eyes of psychology. A theoretical background on singing and music is presented, with an emphasis on mental health and clinical psychology. Six adults, of both sexes and with varied ages, professions, education and interests, were interviewed about important moments they had in relation to singing. The research steps were taken according to the heuristic method, elaborated by Clark Moustakas, with emphasis on the meanings experienced by the subjects, who were called co-researchers in this study, so as to understand the elements present in their experience. The data analysis is presented in the form of descriptions of the experience of singing in relation to each coresearcher and to the group as a whole; a portrait was drawn of two co-reseachers, chosen as the ones who best represented the experience of the group of co-researchers. The data analysis ends with a creative synthesis. The experience of singing was revealed as a natural human activity that evolves as part of one s individual history, with various physical, emotional, social and spiritual effects. Singing showed itself as an experience wich is both individual, personal and ecological, social, shared; an expression of mental health and personal integration. While being perfected, singing can serve as a means of contacting and developing / Resumo: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de tipo explorat?ria que visa descrever elementos presentes na viv?ncia de cantar, considerada do ponto de vista psicol?gico. Apresenta um embasamento te?rico sobre m?sica e cantar, com ?nfase numa perspectiva de sa?de mental e psicologia cl?nica. Foram colhidos os depoimentos de seis adultos, de ambos os sexos e com idades, atividades profissionais, escolaridade e interesses variados, sobre situa??es marcantes vivenciadas em rela??o a experi?ncia de cantar. Os passos da pesquisa foram elaborados de acordo com o m?todo heur?stico, desenvolvido por Clark Moustakas, dando import?ncia para os significados vividos pelos sujeitos, chamados neste estudo de "co-pesquisadores", de forma a apreender os elementos presentes nas suas experi?ncias. A an?lise dos dados ? apresentada sob a forma de descri??es da experi?ncia de cantar em rela??o a cada co-pesquisador e ao grupo como um todo; posteriormente, elaborou-se o retrato de dois dos participantes, escolhidos como aqueles que melhor representavam as viv?ncias deste grupo de co-pesquisadores. Finalmente, comp?s-se uma s?ntese criativa. A experi?ncia de cantar revelou-se como uma atividade humana natural, com desenvolvimento ?nico, original em cada pessoa, com efeitos f?sicos, emocionais, sociais e espirituais. Mostrou-se tamb?m como uma experi?ncia pessoal, individual e, ao mesmo tempo, ecol?gica, social ou compartilhada; uma atividade que promove a sa?de mental e integra??o das pessoas; o seu aperfei?oamento pode servir como um meio de entrar em contato e desenvolver um conhecimento a respeito de m?sica e de si mesmo. Al?m disso observou-se diferentes n?veis de envolvimento ao cantar.

Developing individualized education programs with culturally and linguistically diverse families from low-income homes : a heuristic inquiry of special education teachersClark, Kristen E. 01 January 2015 (has links)
Research shows evidence of overrepresentation of culturally and linguistically diverse children enrolled in special education services, a positive correlation between parent involvement and academic success, and a plethora of barriers impeding active 6 parent participation in IEP development. Barriers include language, culture, low income, . and school climate and team dynamics. The aim of this study was to explore: (a) In what ways do special education teachers engage with culturally and linguistically diverse families from low-income homes in the IEP development process? (b) In what ways do special education teachers address culturally and linguistically diverse children's educational needs while also addressing both legal and workplace expectations? (c) In what ways do special education teachers develop IEPs with culturally and linguistically diverse families from low-income homes addressing both legal and workplace
expectations? These questions were addressed qualitatively utilizing Moustakas's heuristic inquiry. Deductively exploring themes using Lipsky's street-level bureaucracy framework exposed challenges special education teachers in this study had addressing both legal and workplace expectations, such as meeting IDEA 2004 mandates. With a systems theory approach, themes and subthemes were identified as being interconnected. Power imbalances between stakeholders and socioeconomic differences across families appeared to be the most prolific barriers impeding parent participation. Inductive analysis explored emergent and uncovered themes elucidating what it meant to be a special education teacher.

An Art Therapist's Use of Art Making as Self Care in Pediatric MedicineHargraves, Emily 01 April 2021 (has links) (PDF)
This heuristic research project examines my personal use of art making as a form of self-care while interning in a pediatric hospital. The review of the literature investigates the concept of self-care and the use of art making as a therapeutic outlet for working art therapists, for professionals in the healthcare field, and for art therapy students working specifically in hospital settings. The literature suggests that self-care is a necessary process, that self-care is not just for the physical self, but also for one’s mental health. The literature also indicates that art therapists have found that art making as a specific self-care modality is demanded. The research then contains my own personal use and record of art making as a way to support myself while working as an art therapy trainee at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. I gave myself the structure of making response art once a week on site for 15 weeks. The data includes said weekly art responses, as well as any written responses or observations made during art making. The patterns I found pertain to similarity in the materials used, the visuals created, and the contexts of each image. By actively making response artwork, I was able to deepen my understanding of the importance of art making for the art therapist. In addition, this research highlights the importance and responsibility that comes with self-care as an art therapist, and additionally, heuristic research in art making as a form of active self-care could be especially beneficial for the art therapy student.

Effectiveness of Digital Response ArtKavanaugh, Anya 01 April 2020 (has links) (PDF)
This study looks at the effectiveness of digital media to create response art and deepen attunement with adolescent clients as well as develop self-awareness in the therapist. An arts- based qualitative heuristic self-study was used to analyze data gathered over a six-week period. The subject was the researcher/therapist and the data was gathered during the second-year practicum while working with adolescents at a non-public school. Data was gathered through a process of creating two post-session response artworks using video, animation, or digital drawing and a written reflection for each artwork. Nine artworks and eight written reflections were created in total. The data was analyzed using a phenomenological lens and a digital art therapy lens. Certain themes, such as use of color, rhythm and pace, self as subject, client process, progression of affect, management of environment, and representation of containment were analyzed. These themes revealed a high probability for digital media to assist in deepening attunement with an adolescent client and a more limited chance of development of self- awareness.

Exploring the Help-seeking / Helping Dynamic in Illegal Drug UsePolych, Carol 01 March 2011 (has links)
Heuristic qualitative research techniques (Moustakas,1990) were used to explore the dynamic of the help-seeking / helping relationship in illegal drug use from the perspective of the professional. Six professionals, expert in helping people living with an addiction, shared their opinions and insights, analyzed problems, explained the rewards, and made recommendations for improvement, based on their own practices within the health care and social services systems. These professionals identify stigma as a major barrier to the provision of quality care in addictions, and analysis shows that a cultural predilection for scapegoating underlies the application of stigma. The many layered social purposes served by the designation of certain substances as illegal and the utility of scapegoating to hegemonic, vested interests is surveyed. This thesis reviews the true social costs of addictions, the entrenched and enmeshed nature of the alternate economy, and the many above ground institutions and professions sustained by the use of drugs designated as illegal. Prohibition and imprisonment as a response to illegal drug use is exposed as costly, inhumane, dangerous, and overwhelmingly counterproductive in terms of limiting harm from illegal drug use. A recent example of drug prohibition propaganda is deconstructed. Consideration is given to the role of the Drug War as a vehicle to accelerate social creep toward a fragmented self-disciplining surveillance society of consumer-producers in the service of economic elites. Classism is brought forward from a fractured social ground characterized by many splits: sexism, racism, age-ism, able-ism, size-ism, locationism, linguism, and others, to better track the nature of the social control that illegal drugs offer to economic elites. The moral loading that surrounds illegal drug use is deconstructed and the influence of religion is presented for discussion. The primitive roots of human understanding that endorse the ritual Drug War and its supporting mythology, leading to the demonization of illegal drugs and the people who use them, are uncovered. Direction is taken from Benner and Wrubel’s Primacy of Caring (1989) and other leaders in the professions as a means to move practitioners away from their roles as agents of social control into a paradigm of social change.
