Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The purpose of this paper is a formal examination of the fine art exhibit titled A Tale of Two Dogs by Jeffrey A. Harris as a partial fulfillment of requirements for a Master of Fine Arts degree from Stephen F. Austin State University.</p> <p>By examining the multiple established points of view within his artwork, the author questions these establishments and asks if this approach leads to a relevant way of seeing. Using expanded polystyrene foam as a sculpture medium, a series of artworks created during the MFA research process are conceptually analyzed to explore the value of maintaining a multiplicity of viewpoints within a single composition. Through the examination of the various artworks and techniques, the author discovers that using multiple, often divergent points of view, within a single artwork (and by extension, a single exhibit) benefits the artist as a method of pushing creativity forward.</p>
