Abstract Details

2003, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Art Education.
The purpose of this narrative, qualitative, socio-cultural historical study is to examine and understand how larger national and state systems of social reform affected the handiwork in the local region of Hindman, Kentucky, located in the eastern Kentucky Appalachian Mountains. This study offers a different look at the traditional handiwork, of Hindman Settlement School, through ethnic influences, environment, reform, and cottage craft industry in the region during the years 1902-1920. Historical themes emerged from the data: correcting the harm of the Industrial Revolution and progress through handiwork, creating handicrafts with a holistic process versus a specific factory line tasks, manual labor taught with an academic curriculum versus only vocational training for the factory, isolation from neighbors and community versus involvement, and progressive educational theories including notions of John Dewey and Jane Addams, that related ot the local setting. A strong connection is made with the Neighborhood House located in Louisville, Kentucky to Hindman Settlement School. The school still in operration today, was respected for its academics, handiwork, and response to the region's educational needs.
