Research Reading List

Here I'll be listing all of the materials I read for this project and writing short notes underneath all of them. The list will start off with just titles and authors etc. but will be added to over time. Opinions on how helpful they are to my research will be added too.

TEXTURES/NEURODIVERGENCY

An Attempt to Explain Visual Aesthetic Appreciation

Bjørn Grinde, Tammy-Ann Husselman (2022)

Focusing on aesthetic qualities of art rather than the function in facilitating communication and creating associations

Aesthetics- “the study of how and why sensory stimuli acquire hedonic value”

Aesthetic elements

Aesthetic behaviours

A Case for Art Therapy as a Treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Huma Durrani (2017)

Multisensory

Many caregivers for children with autism opt for therapies that ‘work’ faster rather than a longer-term approach such as art therapy

Speech and language therapies

Occupational therapy

Art therapy focuses on building a relationship with the client to make the sessions more enjoyable for them

Ignoring psychoemotional needs for connection is detrimental to the child

High reports of anxiety and depression among children with autism

SID- (Sensory Integration Dysfunction)

An individual's atypical response to external stimuli

Affects all senses

Can potentially make some people feel unwell or pained

‘The variety of textures, colours, smells, and tastes of art materials have an inherent capacity to inhibit or induce emotional and sensory responses’ p.104

Touch interactions with materials can have a calming affect on people and make them more inclined to participate

Art therapy gives an outlet that can express emotions and communicate with others that may be difficult in their day-to-day lives e.g. non-verbal people

Different materials can induce grounding techniques and more engagement in the artwork

Clothes, Sensory Experiences and Autism: Is Wearing the Right Fabric Important?

Chrysovalanto Kyriacou, Rachel Forrester-Jones, Paraskevi Triantafyllopoulou (2021)

Emotional abilities and art experience in autism spectrum disorder

Sara Coelho, Ingrid Vendrell Ferran, Achim Stephan (2023)

Reading Graphic Design History

David Raizman

Stitching Language: Sounding Voice in the Art Practice of Vanessa Dion Fletcher

Stephanie Springgay (2021)

Designing a Sensory Kit to Improve the Environment for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Pediatric Emergency Department

Sasha Litwin, Kate Sellen (2022)

Special Interest Connection Framework: Integrating Pop Culture into Art Therapy with Autistic Individuals

Jessica Woolheiser Stallings

COSPLAY

Playing with identity: gender, performance and feminine agency in cosplay Elizabeth Gackstetter Nichols (2019)

The art worlds of gender performance: cosplay, embodiment, and the collective accomplishment of gender

Yuchen Yang (2022)

Looking into cosplay as a form of identity expression

Specifically looking at gender expression- not always due to one's actual gender identity rather than love of a character

Hey all, I know I have not been posting much lately, life is getting in the way as usual and I promise to post more Xena stuff and others soon, but I just want you to seen this wicked Prologue that came out for the movie The Ghost Is A Lie!

The horror obsessed movie should be out at the end of the year and it looks so good!

And even though it is amusing that the views and likes look like "666" we really should help bump up those numbers!

Click Here To Watch This

If nothing else can tempt you to check out, may I point out that Sharon Belle is in it?
