Abstract
This paper explores how the evolution of sculpture, from the architecturally-based Gothic period to the return to Antiquity and Roman art, and new ideas about light use and perspective in the Renaissance to the very Catholic and extravagant Baroque period, and the many interluding movements that finally brought sculpture to a more modern place in the 19th century with the works of Realism, shows both a desire to return to artistic roots and a need to grow beyond that which has already been created. It explains that each period had innovative techniques and original artistic ideas, which would influence all art that followed by creating a new standard that could be adhered to, added onto, or completely revolted against by the next generation of artists. It concludes that sculpture continues to reflect the movements of religion, architecture, painting, and science in every period of time.
From the Paper
"The human mind is only capable of sight by means of taking light through the eye and interpreting that within the brain. Although people did not fully understand the scientific properties of light until relatively recently, artists throughout time have had the particular challenge of creating an illusion of the existence of light within an art piece. Human sight has an incredible range, feeding the mind images of the surrounding world from near complete darkness to the brightest of sunlight conditions. It is through this range that the world becomes reality, and it is therefore the place of art to attempt to capture this range of light. However, traditional pigments have a very limited range, and therefore the artist must find ways to make the available colors combine to create an illusion that may be interpreted by the viewer as similar to reality. The lighting techniques of painters took a significant turn in the Early Renaissance period which moved their work much closer to nature in appearance through a change in lighting styles, and this continued to influence the art periods that followed."

From the Paper
"The use of art therapy techniques to assist those young people suffering from depression has gained a great deal of credibility in recent years as evidence has mounted of its efficacy. Simply stated, this paper will argue that art therapy can assist adolescents as readily as its assists the very young and its adaptability makes it excellent as a long-term means of treatment. By way of explanation, the paper will begin first by exploring a common and effective art therapy technique, outline in brief the positive attributes of art therapy as articulated by Carl Jung and Dr. Natalie Rogers, and finish by noting how the malleable, fluid nature of art therapy allows it to help more young people, more often. With that in mind, it is to an in-depth discussion of art therapy that this paper turns."

Abstract
This paper presents a summary of Edward Tanner's article "Technology, Technique, and the Body," which argues that technology has a beneficial impact on human beings who have a corresponding impact on technology.
From the Paper
"In "Technology, Technique and the Body" Edward Tenner provides an article showing how other animal species besides human beings adapt their technique and body behavior based on technology. From bears to orangutans, Tenner uses the animal kingdom to show how a host of technological innovations from chairs and telephone dialing systems to helmets and shoes have affected human development, particularly the body and its technique. Opposed to technology, doomsayers who maintain technology robs human existence of purpose and meaning, Tenner argues that..."

Abstract
Marlow's journey up the Congo is, essentially, very much a metaphorical journey into himself. Indeed, even Kurtz himself, the powerful white trader, thinks he is civilizing the Natives, when in fact he is actually confronting the evil within himself.

Abstract
This paper shows that the movie "Citizen Kane" is recognized as one of America's greatest works because it employs excellent work in all fields. Not only is the acting, directing and writing excellent, the production and, most specifically, use of deep focus camera technique make this movie one of the most innovative in history. The paper shows that the filmmaker's willingness to challenge preconceived notions about filmmaking set the stage for more advancements to film making.
From the Paper
"The early signs of deep focus, or pan-focus as it was known at the time, can be seen in Gregg Toland's 1940 film, The Long Voyage Home. Toland was also an innovative producer, looking for ways to create something new and successful. He and Welles worked hand in hand to develop film techniques and strategies that would be wildly successful in the film industry. It was unique because, for the first time, cameras could pick up things that usually only the human eye would be able to."

Beckett's Dramatic Technique, 2005.
This paper explores the extent to which meaning is linked to dramatic innovation in Samuel Beckett's plays.
3,401 words (approx. 13.6 pages), 18 sources, MLA, $ 96.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper provides a thorough investigation of the presentation of Beckett's philosophical themes within the dramatic genre in order to determine whether meaning is indissolubly connected to innovation in dramatic technique. The paper shows how meaning is not indissolubly linked; Beckett allows his plays meaning outside of the dramatic arena. The paper does note, however, that Beckett's unconventional dramatisation of his philosophy contributes greatly to the plays.
From the Paper
"In his essay, 'Beckett Out of His Mind: The Theatre of the Absurd', William Haney asserts that '[b]y dispensing with narrative sequence, character development, and psychology in the conventional sense, Beckett portrays the process by which awareness moves from the qualia of a historically mediated experience to a state beyond linguistic and cultural boundaries'. This statement has two key implications: firstly that that Beckett's plays do have an intrinsic meaning, and secondly that this meaning lies beyond linguistic boundaries and is thus inseparably linked to Beckett's unconventional dramatic technique. This perspective on meaning itself, however, is problematised when placed into Beckett's cultural context. Indeed, that 'Beckett actually encouraged critics to adopt a philosophical perspective on his work' seems to indicate that this is a useful approach."

Theme and Technique in Shakespeare's Sonnets, 2002.
This paper is an analysis of the theme of time-as-destroyer, in three of Shakespeare's sonnets.
3,245 words (approx. 13.0 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 93.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Shakespeare's use of the theme of time-as-destroyer, in three of the sonnets: No's 64, 65, and 73. Shakespeare's poetic techniques are analyzed in detail. Some of these include meter, alliteration, antithesis, syllogism, personification, ploce, and chiasmus. In order to demonstrate these different techniques, the author makes extensive comparisons between the three sonnets.
From the Paper
"The poem is an apostrophe, addressed to the absent (or at least voiceless) lover. It says these things you may see in me: that I am aging, that I am like a setting sun, that I must soon die. But because you see this impermanence, this fading or deterioration, you only love me more. Now, impermanence has become a positive thing, fuelling the love his beloved has for him.
"The imagery in this sonnet is gentler than that of the two others. There, we had raging, engulfing oceans, and battering days, and rocks and brass and hard, indomitable things. Now, the imagery is of yellowing leaves, and boughs that once had sweet singing birds on them. The giving over to inevitable death is not one raged against, but is a sweet thing like the setting of a sun. His late stage of life is being compared with fading light, and with night which is "death's second self that seals up all in rest." We are being eased into death here, being made to think of it as slumber."

Technique in Art, 2002.

Abstract
This paper studies the conveying of meaning in art through the use of different techniques. It does this by comparing and contrasting two works on the same subject, as envisioned by two different artists. It looks at the slightly different styles and techniques of ?The Fortune Teller? by the Italian painter Caravaggio and ?The Fortune Teller" by the French artist Georges De La Tour.
From the Paper
"To understand the role of technique, as opposed to subject or narrative, in conveying visual meaning, it is so instructive for a student of painting to compare and contrast the works on the same subject, as envisioned by two different artists. Consider how the slightly different styles and techniques of ?The Fortune Teller? by the Italian painter Caravaggio and ?The Fortune Teller by the French artist Georges De La Tour both tell the same narrative within their painted structure. In both works, a young man of evident wealth is depicted visiting a fortune-teller. While having his palm read, all of the gold and money upon his person is stolen. However, subtle shifts in the artists? techniques and images cause slightly different shifts in the viewer?s sympathy for the young man?s plight and the viewer?s feelings towards the thieving fortuneteller. This is true even though both paintings date from relatively similar periods of time in art history."
