Abstract The reconstruction of clothing and fabrics is also called the “secondary treat ment of fabrics”. It usually challenges the reorganization of the original form, transforms the original single fabric style, displays new effects, and performs more unique definitions. Redesign requires minimizing its negative impact while exploring its more considerable positive contribution to society. De signers need to act as a role of “interpreter”. They translate the original prod ucts into more responsible ones, not only to be innovative but also to avoid harming the environment. In the perspective of recycling design, I will re-define different substances, adopt the secondary design of fabrics and the re-transformation of waste clothing. It is critical to emphasize that products should be natural and eco-friendly.

Abstract The Chinese classic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been reinter preted by various authors and adapted into different media. In the novel, cha racter images were shaped and the peculiarity of the characters’ characteris tics was depicted by describing their behavior. This study uses Eastern and Western narrative theories to classify the character development (characteri zation) methods that various creators employed on this Chinese story in three distinct media (i.e., novel, antique book with illustrations, and temple paint ing). Thus, this study aims to identify the creation processes involved in cha racterization when adapting a literary work with substantial textual content. By integrating the results on Eastern and Western narratology approaches, a characterization method for the preproduction stage of animation was pro posed. This explanation may serve as a reference for animation education and for creativity practices.

Abstract The architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties recorded the splendid an cient culture of China, and has long become a remarkable cultural heritage. Among them, the traditional doors and windows are one of the components of the traditional Chinese buildings. Doors and windows are an important part of the building. In traditional Chinese buildings, doors and windows are important components with both aesthetic and practical functions. This paper deeply discusses the art of doors and windows in the Ming and Qing Dynas ties, integrates it with the modern jewelry language, and tries to give the je welry a variety of visual senses, as well as strive to diversify the Chinese mod ern jewelry design field while inheriting the traditional door and window art.The paper first analyzed the artistic beauty of doors and windows in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and studied the shape, material and process of window ornaments respectively. The application of door and window art in other art raises the problem of how door and window art should be applied in jewelry. Finally, and the inheritance, integration and development of the artistic cha racteristics of doors and windows of Ming and Qing Dynasties in the jewelry production process are explored.

Abstract The world needs unity. It needs more and more people to unite and give full play to their professional skills to make things better. Innovative thinking has always been the thinking mode advocated by designers, not the result that can be achieved by a deliberate thinking mode. It contains a variety of thinking modes. It is an efficient unity of analysis and intuition, rationality and sensi bility. It is not only an efficient complex, but also a whole brain thinking. This is the reason for the birth of design thinking. Design thinking is a thinking mode that encourages people to explore the essence of problems and recon struct them. This is also a way of thinking, which helps to improve the devel opment of design. The original intention of design thinking is to bring us a new perspective to face problems and create different solutions. It can be in novative and awesome. It plays the role of beginning and framework.

Abstract With the continuous advancement of urbanization, China’s urban color plan ning has begun to receive attention, but there are still many problems in the use of urban colors. In order to further clarify the color positioning of the city, the color history of the city and the application of contemporary urban color can be investigated, and then the color range with urban characteristics can be summarized through analysis and comparison, so as to scientifically guide the color planning of the future city. Taking Chengdu as an example, this paper examines the origin and context of the use of colors in Chengdu, and at the same time investigates the current status of the use of environ mental colors in Chengdu. The two confirm each other and summarize sev eral representative colors in Chengdu. It provides a basis for the application of future urban color, and also provides a certain reference value for future urban color images and other related research.

Abstract The Nationalist Period, the Neoclassical Period, and the Dodecaphony music (or Twelve Tone Music) Period are three important periods in the life of the Russian-born American music composer Stravinsky. The ballet The Rite of Spring, which was composed during the “Nationalist Period”, has become a classic work in the history of music for its original composition, ingenious layout and bold innovative spirit, and has become an outstanding landmark work because of its uniqueness and exclusiveness. It also had a significant impact on twentieth-century Western music and contemporary world music. In order to analyse, explain, summarise and outline the “unique charm” and “artistic significance” of this epoch-making work of The Rite of Spring, this article has its focus on the following aspects such as the background of the composition, its musical features (harmony, orchestration, melody, structure, etc.) and its aesthetic characteristics.

Abstract This study aims to identify the role of interior lighting in buildings in increasing light pollution, defined as the excessive use of artificial lighting that negatively affects humans, wildlife and clear astronomical vision. The research question is what aspects of interior lighting are the causes of external light pollution. In order to answer the research question, a qualitative approach was followed, by interviewing six lighting specialists, and using a questionnaire to ascertain the views of twenty-one interior designers interested in designing interior lighting. The data collection employed two axes: the first related to the characteristics of the indoor lighting unit, and the second related to factors affecting the interior lighting. The study concluded that interior lighting has a role in light pollution, which depends on its characteristics and the nature of the interior space, through the infiltration of lighting from the interior space to the outside of the building through the architectural openings, due to the lack of consideration of the following determinants of lighting installation in the space, such as the angle of illumination and the number of lighting units and the characteristics of the space in terms of colour, material and openings. We hope that the results of the study will benefit designers in helping to maintain environmental sustainability and reducing the increase in light pollution.

Abstract The 21st century is a rapidly developing information age. Through the combination of art and technology, barrier free cultural content can not only remove the obstacles for barrier people to accept cultural content, but also broaden the scope of online barrier free audio-visual communication, but also help visually impaired people better understand cultural achievements through oral images and promote the social integration of barrier groups. However, at present, the supply of audio-visual works of barrier free culture is relatively small, and the production level of barrier free cultural content produced for barrier groups is not high. The most important thing is the extreme lack of professionals for barrier free film and television IP creative publishing and distribution. Facing this situation, the practice of some European universities has brought better enlightenment, and also provided reference for the cultivation of barrier free film and television cultural talents in Chinese universities.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the documentation and conservation process of outdoor artworks in Ghana citing Takoradi Technical University’s main campus as a case study. A total of 22 outdoor sculptures dating from 2002 to 2020 was catalogued in the various parts of the institution including the artworks by sculpture students and lecturers. A comprehensive data was created for each sculpture with information on the location, artist, materials, historical and technical notes, state of conservation. Direct observation and face-to-face interviews were conducted with sculpture lecturers, studio technicians, past and present art students who were purposively sampled for the study. Through the interpretive analysis, the study revealed that with the twenty-two (22) outdoor sculptures, none of them had been conserved and restored ever since they were created for artistic purposes. The artworks were made from wood, metals, concrete cement, tyres and sachet plastic rubbers. The cataloguing of the outdoor artworks serves as a reference of representation, inspirational intuition, aesthetics and symbolic importance for the institution.

Abstract Coaching is partnering with students in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Through the training of coaching mode in an architectural design course, students can be encouraged in implementing their plan. They will not only understand and grasp the basic function and streamline required in the architectural design, but also gradually master the basic methods. In a word, project groups with a coaching system that is used in the architecture departments works more creatively and efficiently than the standard teaching methods.

Abstract This essay focuses on Haydn’s set of 6 Esterházy Piano Sonatas, composed in 1773. These deceptively original sonatas, I will argue, have not been awarded their due by musicologists or theorists. Since Charles Rosen set the beginning of the Classical style at roughly 1780, others have described Haydn’s earlier works as “stylistically unformed”. This essay thus argues against such assessment and periodization, especially in the light of the innovations heralded by the Esterházy Sonatas, as well as other works of this period. Therefore, a case shall be made for their being eminently Classical. To argue this, specific formal, harmonic, melodic features from individual movements are analyzed and assessed; several striking characteristics, demonstrating radical innovations usually recognized in Beethoven shall be revealed. In so doing, and also by engaging broader issues of perceptions of musical style, the essay endeavors to position the Esterházy Sonatas as influential works in their own light, as they point to the formal and stylistic sprouts rooted in the efflorescent Classical tradition.

Abstract This article uses historical analysis, comparative research and case studies to explore the relationship between the imperial painting in the Song Dynasty and Chinese ceramic art. It argues that imperial painting of the Song Dynasty guided ceramic art towards the realm of “blue and white” with its implicit beauty, while positively influencing the development of ceramic art in terms of painting and decoration and the modelling of objects, thus presenting us with a realm of refined, sublime and beautiful ceramic art.

Abstract Color is one of the first elements to communicate the message behind a design. This study is about the design and color coordination of creating customer-centric products, and aims to understand the approach of Kosovo designers to color selection. Research has shown that color coordination is a key factor in design that affects the final effect of a product. The choice of color palette and color coordination is very important and should not be ignored, as color remains a powerful tool in design. Kosovo designers have shown also that selecting the color palette is a difficult process and references to color theory, schemes, and meaning of colors are very important for a better match of colors with the design. In-depth and authentic research is essential to a successful palette choice, so the design stands on a very strong and fulfilling point. These findings and the recommendations from this research are important for further success in the field of design, creative industry, architecture, business, entrepreneurship, teaching, etc.

Abstract Proverbial Akan culture has been unavoidable in the creative life and works of Contemporary Ghanaian artist Victor Kweku Bondzie Micah. Micah has redefined his expertise in Akan (Twi) proverbs and their symbolism in his three-female terracotta sculptures that send his artistic statement across. The article sought to explore the biographical data of Victor Kweku Bondzie Micah and decontextualize his three-female terracotta sculptures with the portrayal of women in some selected Akan (Twi) proverbs. The biographical research method offered the changing experiences and outlooks of Micah in his daily life as an artist and provided interpretations on his three-female terracotta sculptures with Akan proverbs. The biographical research method coupled with narrative and interpretive analysis tools established the research constructs for the study. The article revealed that Micah’s three-female terracotta sculptures reflected the feminist consciousness of women by elevating their self-awareness and their importance in their daily lives as Ghanaians with Akan (Twi) proverbs through political, socio-cultural and religious contexts. The nexus of Proverbial Akan culture and Micah’s terracotta sculptures served as an artistic way of elevating the female character in society. It encapsulated the rich source of philosophical expediency for preserving the tradition of Ghana and its Proverbial Akan culture.

Abstract AI film is a commercial film genre with distinctive technical nature and profound thought, which includes two branches: AI film on the level of technical practicality and AI film on the level of subject creation. With the rapid development of science and technology, creation orientations of AI films have also changed. The reason is that the art world is a reflection of the real world, and is also viewed and reconstructed by the real world. Perceptions and concepts of the real world will have an indirect impact on the foundation of the art world, and artistic ideas can in turn become the trigger and starting point for real world developments. Nowadays, against the backdrop of deep impacts brought by artificial intelligence in everyday life, clarifying AI film creation-oriented transformation and its underlying logic shed light on current artistic creations of films and TV productions.

Abstract Current study sought to measure the perception of intangible cultural heritage and systems of the ancient Bini kingdom, as well as the acceptance of users when extended reality (XR) is used for its recreation and representation. Four aspects of intangible cultural heritage were identified and used for the study—stories, music, festivals and dance. The stories were recreated from folklore using the comic book storyboard technique with the Adobe Photoshop software, while three dimensional (3D) characters were generated and positioned within the virtual environment using commercially available Unity3D and Blender softwares; dance was simulated using non-immersive virtual reality, with created characters responding to sourced traditional music; festivals remain as celebrated yearly. With semi-structured questionnaires administered on a sample size of forty-two (42) consisting of palace/museum staff and local tourists (young and old) in Bini city, Edo State, Nigeria, several findings were generated and measured on the Likert scale. Although most respondents could remember some stories, they could not recall the names of key characters, implying that some names associated with oral tradition are lost as they pass between generations. For the application of XR in the reconstruction and restoration of intangible cultural heritage, most of the respondents agreed it was a fun and interesting way to learn about the cultural heritage of the Bini kingdom. However, youths were undecided on the issue of dance and music, showing the strong influence of Hip life and Afro Hip hop music and dances.

Abstract Mobile learning promotes a pedagogical shift from didactic teacher-centered to participatory student-centered learning. The aim of this study was to examine how physical settings and human behaviour within an environment affect user productivity in a designed environment. A case study that emphasized social interactions and comprised a design interaction module was developed. Students evaluated a designed place using mobile technology alongside traditional teaching resources through lectures and design studio sessions. The research methodology comprised a case study that emphasized social interaction using five intended learning outcomes. The case was assessed using tools that measured its congruency with overall as well as specific learning outcomes. The design interaction module was developed and implemented through mobile and face-to-face deliveries. Over a one-week block, five mobile lectures, the minimum required for impacting students’ learning experience, were delivered. Mobile learning was the most suitable approach for teaching the design interaction module. By combining the experiential and instructional learning modes that provided students with more opportunities for understanding the impact of design on the users of an environment, the goal of encouraging students to develop a critical understanding of industrial design was achieved.
