As an elementary and middle school educator based in Oregon, my practice is rooted in the belief that the most effective learning environments are frictionless. Guided by the principles of Universal Design for Learning, I advocate for the idea that intentional accessibility benefits the entire community, transforming individual accommodations into universal assets. The artifacts presented here highlight a commitment to a regulated brain, integration of art, nature, and mindfulness in curriculum to move students from a state of stress into a state of curiosity. Throughout this work, I explore the ethical integration of technology and artificial intelligence, ensuring digital tools serve as bridges to student agency rather than barriers to human connection. Ultimately, my goal is to equip students with lifelong skills including: self-advocacy, emotional regulation, and flexibility, that persist long after they leave my classroom. By blending creative, human-centered design with modern technology, I aim to foster inclusive spaces where every learner is empowered to navigate an evolving world with confidence and authenticity.

The work was created in response to, and as a companion piece for, the poem “Woman Work” written by Maya Angelou in 1978. The repeated female figure image is meant to be upside down, embodying the chaos and sadness of the life of endless chores cited in the poem. The falling woman can also be interpreted as representing the potential release of letting go of what you can’t co ntrol. The background is a scratchy, sketchy, and a bit like rain, which serves as a symbol of nature, which calls to Maya Angelou’s character as she goes through the motions of her daily life being a mother, woman, and person of color.

Multiple Nintendo franchises such as the Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing bring their own unique ideas to the table that can encourage players to expand their own creative scoop. An important part of my thesis will be making my own creative art projects that will take inspiration from Nintendo games I have played. This will allow me to prove the idea that Nintendo can be influential on creativity. This project will include examination of three different Nintendo Switch games as well as articles that are linked to the idea that video games and creativity are connected. My goal is to show how Nintendo videogames are a great source of inspiration and do my own creative projects inspired by Nintendo games to further prove that.

Student reactions in three periods of Drawing 2 were examined using their work responses, personal observations, co-teacher observations, and lesson plan analysis. All data was analyzed through coding using Social Cognitive Theory as the guiding theory. Results show that student motivation increased significantly with increased student choice, relaxed deadlines, and both positive and negative reinforcement strategies. Results are limited due to duration of the study and quantity of participants, but they imply that a Social Cognitive approach is helpful for engaging more students in a classroom in a genuine way. Future studies could examine this approach in different subjects or with a larger range of art class subjects.

By combining these two approaches, the study aimed to create a more effective and enjoyable learning environment. The TAB approach emphasized student well-being and personal expression, fostering a sense of autonomy and self-directed learning. Meanwhile, DBAE provided a structured framework for critique and technical skill development, ensuring high-quality artistic work. The study found that this hybrid pedagogy significantly enhanced students' ability to work independently and engage deeply with their art projects. The supportive setups and personal connections promoted by TAB, coupled with the clear expectations and structured feedback of DBAE, contributed to a balanced and enriched educational experience. This integration not only improved students’ artistic skills and overall satisfaction but also helped in nurturing their growth as future artists. Through this approach, the study demonstrated how combining structured skill development with creative freedom can lead to better artistic outcomes and greater student engagement.

As the climate changes, wealth disparity increases, and war and disease rage on, it can be easy to lose sight of the positive aspects of life. Because people endure these daily stressors, they require and deserve access to services, therapies, and activities that bring them comfort, security, and pleasure. With this project, I aimed to find an artistic endeavor that allowed me to make my own escape from the realities of the world into one of comfort, something that I could look at and instantly feel better, and I knew I could do that by combining two subjects that interest me: architecture and animation. I began this project by planning and designing the subject of the paintings: Studio Ghibli movies and windows. I chose three different window styles and three different scenes from Studio Ghibli movies that appeal to me. Next, I considered why I had chosen animated films and windows as my subjects and researched them both. I applied a psychological lens considering why windows are important, emphasizing their benefit on mental health, and I reflected on why I think animated films are valuable as well. Once learning enough about my subjects, I combined the window frames and the landscapes into three cohesive paintings. I designed and cut the wood shapes and painted them. After completing my works, I contextualized and reflected on my project. I have produced a collection of artwork that addresses both architecture and mental health and well-being. It is my hope that my work will show windows and animation from a more introspective mindset and inspire others to create their own comfort spaces through art.

I have always been interested in art and creating things that are unique to me. Unlike before, my parents greatly encouraged this interest because I had shown extreme interest in it. I took my first art class in middle school, and that was where I got a good idea of what I liked besides saying that I liked "art" in general. I liked drawing, specifically with a pencil. From there, I took more classes in high school that helped grow my interest in drawing and the different styles of creating pictures and images. To narrow down my interest in portraits that would come later in my first year of college where I made my first self-portrait. It was not something I was particularly proud of. However, it has been something that has driven this need to practice this ability and eventually create a piece I am proud to say is mine. Today I am currently an art major. I have taken many drawing classes to continue to practice drawing and hone my artistic skill. This class was my inspiration for following the idea of portraiture. I have found an interest in creating the human form as I see it before me, and a readily available model is one's self. As a person, I will constantly be changing as I get older, especially in my views of myself. By creating a self-portrait, I will have a piece that not only depicts me as I am today but will hold a piece of today's self to look back on in the future that will most likely not be able to be recreated.

As a novice interpreter, I understand that the demands and stress can take a toll on interpreters. Copious amounts of stress on the body can lead to underperformance, lack of motivation, and draining of one’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. My goal was to examine and analyze my symptoms of stress and burnout in correlation to art as therapy. The action research covers burnout among interpreters and how self-care methods, particularly art as therapy, can help prevent and reduce burnout symptoms.This study was conducted through reflective journaling and perceived stress surveys after completing art as therapy activities. It includes the effects of burnout, what art as therapy is, its different forms, and how utilizing this self-care technique can be a beneficial tool to reduce stress and prevent burnout. This action research documents results indicating lowered stress and burnout symptoms after engaging in art as therapy activities.

Connections to student background experiences included exploratory lessons on: planting seeds and visually documenting growth and transplanting seedlings to school garden; exploring Pacific Islander culture, patterns, and symbolism in Samoan tapa cloth designs with a survey of personal student identity; and hands-on exploration of form by using generational familiarity with Lego toys to create the illusion of 3D form on paper and digitally, as well as inventing and modeling new Lego pieces in clay. Increased engagement was documented in student sketchbooks, artistic projects, exit tickets, student reflections, and teacher observations. Literature in the field of culturally responsive teaching outlined by Geneva Gay (2000), and her five tenets, was used as the pedagogical framework to provide novel examples for teachers to implement in a middle school visual art classroom. In the closing reflection of the action research project, teachers will discover that a meaningful arts curriculum “is not just about the art”.

With an increasing population of culturally and linguistically diverse students, there is a need to implement instruction that is responsive and meaningful to all students, and for students to gain exposure to different cultures so they can navigate socially, develop empathy, and be culturally competent in working with an increasingly diverse population. Providing an enriching curriculum in which differences can be celebrated in a classroom environment can be achieved by using a culturally responsive framework which will serve as a guide to my action research study. Modifications that I will use to determine the effectiveness of my teaching and to find patterns to engage students' learning are choices for students, simplification of the instruction and project, providing additional language support, and infusing equity into my art lessons.

Since then, with the increase of technological efficiency in computer programming and processing, IFS based fractals have become relatively normal in terms of their appearance. How? Digital fractal based art. Through the chaos game, and fractal flames, it becomes possible to create unique pieces of digital art purely through programing and math. In this video, we will give a very brief overview of how the chaos game works, and its applications in creating works of digital art, as well as a brief overview of fractal flames, and their processes for creating art through math and programming.

In this presentation we will briefly see what a frieze pattern is in architecture/art and see how that compares to frieze patterns in mathematics. There are 7 frieze groups that all frieze patterns follow. They include: step, hop, spinning hop, sidle, spinning sidle, jump and spinning jump. We will also look at polygons with n sides and see how they are related to frieze patterns and their composition. There are three main types of friezes that we will focus on, Conway-Coxeter friezes, additive friezes, and NIM friezes.

It is known as a fun, numerical sequence that builds on itself to infinity. As it turns out, the Fibonacci Sequence is more than a quirky additive sequence, it’s a foundational component to several different branches of mathematics. It’s basic formula can be tweaked ever so slightly to produce Pell numbers, various metallic ratios, and Pisano Periods, just to name a few. The Fibonacci’s original formula famously produces the Golden ratio and Golden Spiral which people across the world claim to see in nature, art, and science. In this presentation we will show where the Fibonacci is famously found, along with lesser known places in mathematics. It will show that we aren’t seeing the Golden Spiral everywhere, that the maths and ratios are integral to each spiral we see, and what you are seeing may not be the spiral you’re looking for.

We have learned from experience that seeking and accepting help is a key component to success. Luckily, the Computer Science Division (CSD) at Western Oregon University has created their own tutoring center where tutors and students can connect. We have the unique perspective of having a CSD tutor on our team. As this team member filled a timesheet with her pen and was asked again through online chat whether she tutored that day, she recognized a need. This is how Beyond the Tutor was born. We asked questions of ourselves as students, tutors, and visited with professors to gauge individual needs. Through continuous research, we identified services that would benefit the entire department. Beyond the Tutor is an information system that will provide online resources for students, a modernized system for tutors, and comprehensive insights for professors. For students, the system will display real-time tutoring availability, provide an efficient avenue for in-person and online tutoring sessions, and consolidate additional resources. For tutors, the system will alleviate the burden of personally relaying tutoring information to students by moving the process to an easy-to-use interface. Tutors will also benefit from digital time sheets to quickly and accurately log time worked. For professors, data collected through surveys they can create and send to students directly through the user interface will provide a better understanding of student needs both in real-time and over the long term through predictive analytics. Our goal is to provide a state-of-the-art resource for the Computer Science Division to assist in moving the program to a better future!

Drawing upon participant observation and oral interviews I investigate how museums as institutions are influenced by the surrounding population and how the institution serves community needs through civic support and respect. As an entity funded by the city of Independence and supported by the Heritage Museum Society, this paper explores the Heritage Museum's mission and development of new ways in preserving the historical and cultural collections of oral history, art, and artifacts, which may not always fit appropriately with the museum's overall mission statement, donated by citizens of the mid-Willamette Valley. Interning for the Heritage Museum enhanced my appreciation for historical preservation. Collaborating with museum staff and society members, local support is rebuilt through special events such as the first annual birthday celebration, curation of a Native American exhibit, and a reestablished oral history project.

Whether it’s my own identity or a clients, I have found solace in submerging myself into forming and developing engaging concepts and ideas. As a visual learner, I think of graphic design as the best form of problem solving - first concept, and then design. Throughout my design and sociology studies, I have developed in-depth methods of concept building through ethnographic and qualitative research to create brands, interactive media, illustrations, and beyond. I think a lot about human nature, sex and relationships, life and death, social problems and politics, and often reflect these ideas throughout my personal work.

The Pre-Raphaelites rebelled against established artistic styles and methods, seeking instead to accurately depict nature and create art that conveys profound intellectual and spiritual ideas through its literary and religious themes. This project focuses particularly on William Holman Hunt, one of the founding members of the group, and argues that there exist important connections between his worldview, which is defined and discussed, and his art, of which three paintings are analyzed. The present work also examines the Pre-Raphaelites' influence on nineteenth-century British art by outlining the popular styles of the time and comparing these to the Pre-Raphaelites' work and principles. As evidenced in the work of their contemporaries and later artists, this small group of avant-garde artists transformed the art of their own era and beyond.

However, in today’s society, science and art are often considered separate disciplines and in some instances are even seen as conflicting areas of study. This review examines the current debate of STEM vs STEAM in primary educational settings and the lack of scientific literacy in the United States today, as well as important research on how art can combat public disinterest in scientific research and policy. It discusses the importance of science based art, and the renewal of artistic and scientific collaboration. The artists statement and explanation will review the process of taking a scientific publication and creating three art pieces: a visual art piece, a written art piece, and a movement art piece, all based on the publication “Jellyfish extract induces apoptotic cell death through the p38 pathway and cell cycle arrest in chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cells”.

I will be focusing on several different modes of creation, including street art, digital art, comics and cartoons, and installation. Social media is the primary tool for artists working in Syria to distribute their work, so I will also be discussing the importance of social media, both as a means to publish their work and also spread their message. I will answer the following questions: what role does street art and other nontraditional mediums play in the revolution? What are the artists’ purposes and intents when creating such pieces? How is social media relevant to the revolution? The answers to these questions and more will help to legitimize nontraditional arts, not only as examples of art themselves, but also as a means of communication. I hope to shed some light on the Syrian Revolution by looking at the war through the lens of an artist.

Socioeconomic status (SES) has been explored in terms of art participation but has not been explored in relation to the reception of art. The purpose of the current study was to explore the effects that artist fame and viewer SES have on the rating given to a piece of visual art. I predicted that high SES participants would give higher ratings to high fame artists than low fame artists or with no artist information. For low SES participants, I predicted they would give lower overall scores than those with high SES, and that their highest scores would be for low fame artists. Participants (N = 90) were randomly assigned to one of the three artist fame conditions and rated the same painting on multiple scales. Results did not show any main effects but a trend for an interaction was found between viewer SES and artist fame, such that high SES participants gave their highest ratings to high fame artists while low SES participants gave higher ratings when given no information and to low fame artists than to high fame artists. This trend supports the conclusion that individual differences impact the way in which creative mediums are perceived.

The most natural and physical athletic ability that has been a part of our ancestors’ culture for generations upon generations. The sport of running is a mere pastime that seems to be taken up when there is no other exercising option available or appealing. However, for those that have found great joy in the art of running and racing, there is an abundance of knowledge available to the public on every possible aspect of how to improve running performance. The science behind how the body moves oxygen, stores glucose, burns calories, and biomechanically functions while running is immensely vast. Yet, each person is individually different. No two people are the same when it comes to stride, or better yet, running efficiency. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a resource that could compile all the helpful information out there and crunch it down into a manageable and easily understandable template? Improving overall fitness and avoiding injury is as simple as it gets for running basics, but what does the average recreational runner do to prevent injuries before they happen? How can basic training exercises be incorporated into a running routine to help increase longevity? If injury is already present, what can the athlete do to aid in a quick recovery and proper healing, all while staying motivated? The plethora of knowledge is out there and available, all the information needs now is a well-structured and properly designed template. Honors Program Robert Hautala and W.

While exact causes are unknown, there are a variety of ways to lead these children down a successful educational path. Starting at a young age, treatments and educational approaches can support healthy and productive lifestyles, and enhance learning in the classroom. While many people who are autistic excel in art and other creative subjects, without proper instructional techniques, becoming a proficient reader can be a great challenge. This study explored the benefits and drawbacks of existing reading techniques and strategies for children with autism spectrum disorders. The researcher implemented the strategies, as well as developed some new ones as a result of the experiences working with Matthew*, an eleven-year-old child with autism. Developed and implemented lesson plans through trial and error in order to discover what worked most effectively.

While there is certainly value in appreciating paintings at a very involuntary level (letting yourself respond to a piece without inhibition from a cultivated knowledge base), there is also an argument to be made for understanding why our emotions are affected by a composition and, in the specific case of this thesis, by the sort of light (manifested in terms of color and value) that is used in a composition. This thesis project is an exploration into the nature and influence of lighting in the composition, and subsequently the mood, of paintings. The primary focus of this exploration will be a series of nine paintings (each of which will seek to present its viewer with a strong sense of its mood). In order to support and expand this, I will also be pursuing a short analysis of the series and a discussion of some of the theory and movements of art that have been particularly concerned with light throughout the relatively recent history of painting. The joining of these components is, in essence, a sampling of the use of light in art. The goal of this guide is to introduce its reader to a greater degree of understanding of the relationship between the use of light in painting and the emotions that they take away from it, which can be understood regardless of their previous level of acquaintance to art.

Because of this, they are able to withstand the most extreme conditions. This radiotolerancy has been pinpointed to the d-Sup protein and has thus instigated experimentations into the limits and availability to genetically splice this protein and its functions have been tested. Through analysis and critique of these studies, I have created art pieces to express the scientific research and findings. Each piece varies in scientific data, alongside media and size. This results in an assemblage of works that will successfully express scientific research and findings in a visual mode. It is fair to note that the current global pandemic of Covid-19 has halted some of this artistic expression and presented obstacles that were not always overcome. Because of this, there’s limitation on wholly finished pieces—further explained in the body of this project.

Across the United States school districts are facing severe budget cuts which, when paired with legislature such as the No Child Left Behind Act, are creating a learning environment void of creativity and spontaneity. John Dewey, the father of progressive education, believed that learning should not be marked by rote memorization, but rather should aspire to actively engage students in experience and learning that erased boundaries between subject areas and integrated daily life practices. This thesis addresses the question of whether or not it is possible for a typical classroom teacher in the public elementary school setting to implement an experiential education framework into academic curriculum through the administration of a mathematics unit. Using the backdrop of art, music, and cooking, students will develop the necessary skills and knowledge to authentically use fractions.

What we mean by authentic, however, is not readily accessible. An exploration of proposed authenticity-theories can help reveal the merits and impediments contained within those theories--and may ultimately suggest an Authentic-metric. However, such an analysis leads, counter intuitively, to the jeopardization of the term. We can suggest, in virtue of our analysis, that formal inconsistencies within the Authentic-metric promote a more elusive aesthetic discourse than otherwise necessary. By endorsing direct aesthetic discourse we can remove the obscured lens of Authenticity and begin encountering works as they are truly presented.

Individuals are primed to identify with the groups to which they belong, and thus intellectually classify those unlike themselves as "the other." Our social inclination toward "othering" is intractable and ubiquitous across cultures. It breeds conditions of chronic inequality and marginality, reinforcing the ethos of xenophobia that perpetuates and undergirds human atrocities such as war, slavery, and genocide. Through a creative project — a webcomic entitled Blasphemy — I address and illustrate how othering behavior can manifest in the world. Armed with the knowledge that powerful lessons can be gleaned from the arts, the goal is to raise awareness of othering and its deleterious impacts on individuals, and the wider society. Blasphemy co-mingles narrative and visual image in a long-form, serialized webcomic leveraging my study of art and psychology and engaging my own yearning to lessen the suffering of those who find themselves marginalized or targets of discrimination. As is common practice in webcomic production, each update will advance the story until the full story arc reaches its satisfying conclusion. Given the length and nature of Blasphemy as a complete narrative published in series, the full execution of the project logically spans beyond the time scope of this thesis.

Over many years of research we have discovered that the cure wasn’t easy to find and that cancer was a far more complicated disease than originally expected. Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, that begins with genetic mutations. With advances in science we came to understand our genetics and then we found some potential causes for cancer, in our genes. It is hoped that if we can reverse the faulty genetic mutations that cause cancer, we may be able to cure it. The mutations occur in two groups of genes, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and the latter is the focus of this paper. Tumor suppressor genes stop the cell cycle and can cause the cell to go into apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death. As the name suggests, these genes help prevent tumors and cancer from forming. When mutated they lose their function and thus their ability to prevent tumors, which can help give rise to cancers. Without active tumor suppressor genes, cells can grow out of control, which can lead to more mutations being gained and a tumor being formed. The genes I looked at are TP53, INK4, and PTEN-they have been chosen as they represent the range of functions tumor suppressor genes have and have been seen in cancers across the body. I looked at where the mutations are 5 occurring within the genes and examined potential differences between reproductive and nonreproductive organ-based cancers. Through the data I collected and the results of my analysis, I planned to create a dance to be performed in the Spring Dance Concert in 2020. This dance will be inspired by American and German theatrical Modern dance and will be an abstract representation of how tumor suppressors work and how they act when mutated. For my thesis, I blended art and science through the analysis of data and the creation of a dance. I explored how cancers and patients are affected by tumor suppressor genes in reproductive organ-based versus non-reproductive organ-based cancers. The reason behind this comparison lies in the difference in how the different organ system’s cells grow in terms of rate. It is hoped that a difference will be found and that may help understanding how cancer works. And then that can be explored through a dance and shared. Honors Program Drs.

I would listen to what they have to say, and that's what no one did” (Moore, 2002). He did this in addition to continuing to create art in spite of being treated as a scapegoat by mainstream media for such an incredibly traumatic event. One of the most universal experiences a human can have is the unspeakable: events in one’s life that they are unable to put into words due to these being “certain violations of [the] social compact [that] are too terrible to utter aloud” (Herman, 2015). When one is unable to put words to unspeakable, traumatic events, they are faced with the one aspect of life they have control over which is choice. This choice is the path of creation or destruction. In a triptych of illuminated poetry, I will be exploring the dichotomous relationship between life, death, creation, and destruction inspired by the triptych Manson was able to complete following the events of Columbine. This project heavily plays into the common fears and assumptions that are conditioned into American society as a commentary on where people fall short as a result of unspeakable events. While Manson chose discussion over demolition, 4 this project, too (during an ongoing cycle of destruction), is intended to stimulate discussion through intense provocation in order to promote growth and life.

It is also informed by my own philosophy of education. It is difficult to pin down any one philosophy of education that I unequivocally support. The conclusion that I have come to is that the best teaching is more an amalgamation of theories. It shifts and evolves to fit the students at hand, and is ever growing. My focus for this research was how Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP), Evidence-Based Practices (EBP), and focusing on the long term benefits of art education will affect my teaching. I also wanted to see if any of the practices within these ideas are more effective than others. This Action Research Project (ARP) will be exploring my own teaching and how I can improve it.

This research project concluded the analysis of my student teacher’s practicum experience in the 2021 – 2022 school year. I spent the year in a multi-grade (9th to 12th) secondary school Digital Arts classroom. The research details an analysis of these three questions: How have differentiation, culturally relevant pedagogy, and inclusive education changed my Art classroom? How can scaffolded instruction be used to develop an inclusive lesson plan? How does literacy adapted to Art pedagogy inform content-specific strategies in the classroom? Data was compiled from journal entries, formal observations, formative and summative assessment, and lesson plans. This paper includes an introduction, philosophy of education, literature review, research methods and presentation of data, as well as implications and concluding thoughts. To curate a strong literacy of a subject, one must first define and teach the expectations of the classroom.

I want to encourage to create an art culture in the students in where (a) students can have meaningful peer-to-peer conversations, (b) use skills and knowledge beyond the art classroom, and (c) have student discover their unique artistic voices. For this research, I taught a classroom of 30 students through a ceramics unit where students would use research, practice writing, and create physical works of art. Students choose what they want to create that reflects the theme given in the lesson, and once they finish, they must complete a self-evaluation of their work. 6/7/2022 Master of Arts in Teaching (initial licensure) Joshua Schulze, Paula Booth action_research https://wou.omeka.net/s/repository/item/4045 Dance Poster 1991 Bryan Grimes Concert | Dance | Theatre | Western Oregon State College (WOSC) Poster for the Spring Dance Concert held May 16-18, 1991 by the WOSC Dance Theatre at Western Oregon State College.

Taken with a single exposure lit by several colored lights, the translucent images show the mystery and energy of the workings of the brain. The work shows the way in which knowledge is social, and how sharing wisdom leads to new opportunities undiscovered. Analogous to research, the overlapping of minds creates interplays of warm colors, new shapes, and new faces. Yet, knowledge is also internal, bound by the shell which keeps the consciousness intact. Our thoughts and insights are our own until we choose to share them with the world. At first, knowledge is hazy, but with the help of others, it can be resolved into something sharp. 8 Jennifer Bracy Jennifer Bracy https://wou.omeka.net/s/repository/item/161 Brainstorming - PURE Insights Volume 7 Cover Art Zhiying Huang Graphic Design | Higashino Keigo 11/26/2018 Image; StillImage pure/vol7/iss1/1 Western Oregon University Library has determined, as of 06/01/2023, this item is in copyright, which is held by the author.

The concept/direction for the zine was generated by a group of students, then selected by the class for use. This cover was a collaborative interpretation of that concept conceived of by Kaylyn Hill, Stacey Roten, Siyu Wang, and Jimmy Wilder. The design was executed by Kaylyn Hill. The problem the class addressed was: Imagine that hundreds of designers used their skills and creativity to respond to the most important and newsworthy issues of today. This collection will be the focus of a blog, a book, an exhibition, a documentary... (it doesn’t really matter what format or media it might be, ultimately). How would this kind of graphic statement—this power used for good, for awareness, for protest, etc.—be expressed? What would you title it? What visual treatment might be applied to or accompany that title? The "Viewpoint #nofilter" concept reflects the act of looking closely and critically at world events and responding with honesty. Therefore, there are many perspectives of the world shown but within a form that also resembles an eye, a target, a print registration mark, etc. The art was modified for the cover of PURE Insights, but is presented here in the original form. 3 Jen Bracy Jen Bracy https://wou.omeka.net/s/repository/item/77 EXTEND (Cover Art) Ruoshi Zhang Graphic Design | Illustration | Interactive Arts | mural | poster | red | vector | plaid | logo | Gothic | Illustrator The whole mural design is a balanced combination of modern and classic, serif and abstract sharp shapes. 5/29/2013 Image;StillImage pure/vol2/iss1/2 Western Oregon University Library has determined, as of 06/01/2023, this item is in copyright, which is held by the author.

It is a mural about WOU culture, a journey, pointing to the future and storing the hope. The whole campus is a natural environment, covered by flowers and plants, so a rose was selected for the center of the design. The main red line represents intention and guidance, the grid represents a web and connects the icons together, illustrating a rigorous attitude toward education. A butterfly is used as a metaphor for the beauty of the campus, our colorful lives, freedom, and hope. The wolf is a part of WOU culture, symbolic of power and sports. A tree and plant remind us of the natural environment, fresh air of campus and the growth of WOU students. 2 Jen Bracy Jen Bracy https://wou.omeka.net/s/repository/item/73 PURE Identity Manual Cristin Stevens Art and Design | Graphic Design | PURE | design | graphic design | identity 5/29/2012 Text;Image;StillImage pure/vol1/iss1/3 Western Oregon University Library has determined, as of 06/01/2023, this item is in copyright, which is held by the author.
