Art Design

This report of a series of protocol studies of designers at varying levels of competence examines the pedagogical system of integrating developing skills with increasing project complexity as a definition of design expeitise. It comments on different kinds of problem-solving strategies which are used to ensure the appropriateness of the aims of design education, and assesses the relative importance that novelty and creativity, uncertainty and information, imagination and constructive thought, and drawing and modelling play in the maturation of designers. The results show a lack of predictability, but that the abilities needed for design expertise can be articulated and developed as educational programmes.

This article argues that interior/architectural design education favours a dominance of final presentation over the design process in the studio environment, particularly in the evaluation of a project. It suggests that the appeal of design juries for pleasant drawings, which may shift the emphasis from the project itself to its representation, may be recognized as a discursive habit with limited contribution for educational concerns. The theoretical stance argues that the interest for graphical presentation has primarily remained within a formalist aesthetic agenda and has rarely been conceptualized beyond this convention. With this in mind a series of questions is developed in order to reform the relationship between graphical presentation and the design education process.

The domain of interiors constitutes a point of tension between practicing architects and interior designers. Design of interior spaces is a significant part of architectural profession. Yet, to what extent does architectural education keep pace with changing demands in rendering topics that are identified as pertinent to the design of interiors? This study explores interior designrelated coursework taught in accredited architectural programmes in the United States. Two methods of collecting data are used: self report from architectural programme chairs and content analysis of web-site posted programme catalogues describing course content. The findings show that many interior design concepts are not well addressed in the architectural curricula [1]. On average, only 0.44% of program content is dedicated to curricula focusing on knowledge and skills in shaping interiors. These findings offer a parameter to educators who are involved in assessing and reforming architectural education by expanding issues of design in general. The authors contend that the pedagogical approach in architectural programmes would benefit from the inclusion of more interior design concepts and through such education efforts the stature of interior design is likely to be improved.

This article investigates very young children's use of a stylus-driven, electronic painting and drawing on the tablet PC. The authors compare their development in the use of this device with their use of other mark-making media, including those which derive from pencil and paper technologies and also with mouse-driven electronic paintbox programs. After experience of using of electronic paint, two of the children were introduced to simple programming software. The authors wanted to find out how the introduction of electronic, digital, interactive devices impact upon children's development in semiotic understanding.

The study seeks to investigate the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies. These technologies include Facebook, Instagram, and Online art gallery. We consider these technologies as part of 4IR because they are digital. In the World Economic Forum, also refers to 4IR as the digital revolution. Furthermore, these platforms use AI technology to function. We chose to select these platforms because of their potential in promoting the artworks of artists. Furthermore, no existing study in South Africa has looked into the impact of these online platforms in the works of emerging South African artists. The purpose of the study is to mitigate some of the challenges encountered by artists. We designed an online questionnaire through google drive and selected 209 participants for the study. We chose to select artists and designers as part of our sample. The selected participants were artists of different categories, both emerging and established artists. The questionnair...

Computer graphics has played significant role in design concept of most fields of Visual Art. Embroidered design on paper and other forms of textile materials are not exempted. Embroidery art has a long standing history of embellishment on textile material, many of which are first drawn on paper and later transferred unto the textile material or sometimes drawn directly on the textile material before commencing the embroidery usually done manually with thread and needle. Just like many fields and discipline, the advent of computer technology also has its influence on the practice of embroidery. This paper therefore assesses the effect of computer graphics on the production of embroidered clothing in selected cities of south western Nigeria. A concise survey was carried out in the study area to assess the impact of computer graphics on embroidered clothing.

This article describes some of the conclusions reached from an experiment using portfolios for art external assessment at the end of secondary education (age 17+) conducted in five Portuguese schools in 2001–2003. Several positive outcomes were found. Students found portfolios to be motivating and fostering constructive learning, dialogue and co-operation between students and teachers. The new assessment procedures developed communities of assessors enabling some increased consistency of examination results and positive professional development opportunities. However some weaknesses were detected such as potential bias related to the degree of teacher aid and practical problems as, for example, time-consuming in-service teacher training.

The purpose: to establish the level of research of the topic in the scientific literature; identify the factors that most effectively contribute to the implementation of the memorial function in the three-dimensional structures of the city; make a critical comparison of the architecture and spatial organization of prominent foreign counterparts, united by common criteria. Methodology: applied comparative and analytical methods based on the author's interpretation of the main artistic means. The article also uses the main provisions of the system approach; content analysis, modeling methods, historical and expert. Results. A memorial, like any space designed and embodied by man, is designed to perform its functions effectively. The function of honoring the memory by means of construction and organization of memorials is analyzed and revealed through the analysis of significant foreign examples. The need for qualitative substantiation in the creation of memorial complexes is empha...

Purpose. The determination of the formation features of basic models of color and identification of color in the initial stages (the 18th – 19th centuries) of scientific research of the problem. Methodology of the research is based on historical and cultural method. The source base is the artistic, scientific and technical literature of the studied period and also artefacts. Results. This publication reveals a generalized approach to theoretical developments on color perception and identification, and covers the initial period of color research and the formation of basic models of color (the 18th – 19th centuries). So in the middle of the 17th century I. Newton founded a seven-color ordering model, placing them to a closed color circle. At about the same time, other attempts at color systemization were proposed, such as color identification in the form of tables of existing paints, the work of I. Brennen and R. Waller. Subsequently, Jacob Christoph Le Blon concluded that in order to...

Samples of modern interiors of Lviv restaurants are considered and their style is demonstrated. The concept of the existence of a key characteristic for each ...

"El presente trabajo publica la contratación de un retablo dedicado a las Ánimas, hoy desaparecido, para la iglesia de Calaceite (Teruel). Fue convenida en 1558 con dos pintores procedentes de Tortosa, Joan Desí y el flamenco Godefroy van Steynemolen. Su principal aliciente es que incluye un boceto de la pieza que, aunque muy sencillo, incrementa la corta nómina de trazas conocidas en el Aragón del Quinientos. Pero además documenta la expansión del modelo levantino de los retablos de esa advocación y fija el nombre del interviniente flamenco, difícil de reconocer con certeza en las menciones locales, lo que permite relacionarlo con la familia Steynemolen, originaria de Malinas, algunos de cuyos miembros tuvieron una cierta relevancia en el mundo de las letras y las artes del siglo XVI, incluso en un escenario cercano: la ciudad de Zaragoza.

This work presents a contract to make an altarpiece, today lost, consecrated to the Souls of Purgatory for a church in Calaceite (Teruel). That contract was signed by two painters from the city of Tortosa: Joan Desi and a Flemish artist called Godefroy van Steynemolen. The most interesting thing in the document is that it includes a design for the altarpiece. Though it is very simple, it is one of the few preserved ones in Aragon at that time and, besides, it shows the success of that eastern pattern for altarpieces. But there is another interesting thing in that document: the Flemish artist’s autograph. It lets us know his right name, in order to identify him in other Spanish documents, as a member of the Steynemolen family, from the city of Mechelen. Some of whose members had a certain importance in the world of arts and humanism in XVIth century, even in the nearby city of Saragosse."
