  • Prehistoric Dinosaurs: An Exploration of Fact vs. Fiction Through the Creation of Comparative Sculptural Forms

    Havens, Krista; Department of Art and Design (Augusta University, 2019-12)
    Prehistoric Dinosaurs: An Exploration of Fact vs. Fiction Through the Creation of Comparative Sculptural Forms, is an art exhibition which displays the differences between how dinosaurs look in film and media verses how they are proposed to have looked based on scientific findings. The impetus for this project was to create a kid friendly educational tool, comprised of three hand-sculpted dinosaurs and three resin cast dinosaurs. The species of dinosaurs created were Carnotaurus, Velociraptor, and Dilophosaurus, some of the most commonly portrayed dinosaurs in the film industry. Each scientifically accurate dinosaur sculpture will be placed next to its film and media representation counterpart to allow for the viewer to compare and contrast the differences in the physical appearances.
  • Progress City: An Honors Thesis Exhibition

    Conway, Baillie; Department of Art and Design (Augusta University, 2017-05)
    Progress City is a full-scale art exhibition examining the way history can be visually represented through sculpture. Focusing specifically on the time period during which America transitioned from an industrial to a service-based economy, it examines the effects this departure had on cities throughout the Southeast. Comprised of a series of sculptural buildings juxtaposed alongside a collection of found objects, this project mixes different forms of media together to create a conceptual display for the viewer to enjoy. As you will see, the project has undergone many revisions and edits over the course of this process. The final product is nowhere close to the ideas I had initially proposed at the beginning. However, you will come to see that, although this project may have seen many changes, it still revolves around the same theme, and that’s progress. [Introduction]
