The current study aimed at plasticizing contemporary artworks by activating the formal and denotative significances of the logo of NEOM through the concept of abstract art. To achieve the study objectives, participants were asked to plasticize contemporary artworks using multiple-sized canvas, several coloring materials, a computer and some software as a technological medium, and high-quality printer papers to activate the significances of the logo of NEOM. Abstract artworks were displayed and analyzed in the light of activating the formal and denotative significances of the logo of NEOM. The author follows the descriptive approach and the quasi-experimental approach. The experiment was applied to female students in the Arts Lab at Umm Al-Qura University in 2018/ 1439H. The experiment yielded the ability of activating the logo of NEOM in artworks (plastic works), combining the significances of the logo of NEOM and abstract art produces unusual artworks, plastically activating the logo of NEOM resulted in enriching the aesthetic value of artworks, and formal and denotative significances of the logo of NEOM enrich plastic arts especially abstract works. The author recommends keeping up with contemporary progress and events and inspiring plastic artworks from the reality around the artist.

The article advances the idea about a drop in people interest in buying similar goods and services, especially in conditions of uncertainty, in particular corona-virus epidemic, when people care less about external things, such as their clothes for visiting public places. Today we observe the necessity in meeting aesthetic needs through different tools and artistic objects. Therefore, we can say that it is a certain return to those times, when in public places and even in the Underground you can see real works of art that were not made in a hurry, according to the principle ‘the cheaper the better', but those of full value. In spring 2021 we conducted a survey of students of the Russian Plekhanov University of Economics and the Arts College RGGU to find the role of the aesthetic (emotional, sensual) element - the art-object (in this case - a poster) - in conditions of uncertainty, i. e. COVID-19 epidemic. The findings of this research showed that aesthetic value of graphics takes a foreground, it should be connected with specialization of the trade enterprise, its historic and other factors. The author demonstrates that availability of aesthetic values can form a motivating platform for repeated visits to the store and thus shape its competitive advantage.

Os anos 60, especialmente depois do golpe militar de 1964, marcam um momento de grande radicalização política nos discursos artísticos. Após uma década de considerável hegemonia do projeto construtivo, o ressurgimento da figuração, num primeiro momento, e a posterior influência das neovanguardas internacionais, levariam alguns artistas brasileiros a abrirem espaço, em suas produções, às efervescentes questões sociais e políticas nacionais. Assim sendo, e tendo em vista a inserção estético-ideológica das artes plásticas entre o golpe de 64 e o Ato Institucional número 5, este artigo propõe-se, em linhas gerais, a fazer um levantamento sumário de alguns dos aspectos estéticos, políticos e institucionais mais relevantes da história da arte no Brasil daqueles anos. Quanto aos aspectos institucionais, como se dirá, esse período corresponde a um momento inicial dentro do processo de reestruturação econômica e de fomento do mercado brasileiro de bens simbólicos, fenômeno este que terá seu auge, pouco depois, no “milagre brasileiro”. No que toca aos aspectos políticos, a repressão e a censura presentes desde os primeiros governos militares acabam de certo modo por incentivar os mais diversos tipos de contestação dentro dos meios culturais em geral e do artístico em particular. E, finalmente, no que toca aos aspectos estéticos, um certo posicionamento ideológico – tanto frente à institucionalização da cultura quanto frente ao autoritarismo de um regime opressor – surge reelaborado poeticamente sob a forma de linguagem, criando uma espécie de fusão entre todos esses aspectos conjunturais, ao que sugiro a noção de religação, que aqui surge como viés de interpretação. Political Poetics: plastic arts between the 64 coup and the AI-5 Abstract Especially after the military blow of 1964, the sixties mark a moment of great political radicalism in the artistic discourse. After a decade of considerable hegemony of the constructive project, two reasons make brazilian artists create works open to the main social and political national subjects: in a first moment, the resurgence of figuration and, later, the influence of international neo-avantgardes. So, considering the aestheticideological situation of the arts between the blow of 64 and the Institutional aspects Act number 5, this article intends to do a synthetic rising of some aesthetic, political and institutional aspects more important in brazilian art history of those years. Regarding to the institutional aspects, that period corresponds inside to an initial moment of the process of economical restructuring and fomentation of the brazilian market of symbolic goods, phenomenon that will be in the peak, after, in the “brazilian miracle”. Regarding to the political aspects, the repression and the censorship – existent from the first military governments – they motivate the most several reply types inside in general of the cultural ways and of the artistic way in matter. And, finally, with relationship to the aesthetic aspects, a certain ideological positioning – it so much front to the institutionalization of the culture as front to the authoritarianism of an oppressor regime – aestheticly restored appears under the language form, appearing a type of union among all those aspects of the situation. And, if I suggest the religation to name that union, I suggest it because that notion here appears as interpretation access.

We discuss how to assess computationally the aesthetic value of “small” objects, namely those that have short digital descriptions. Such small objects still matter: they include headlines, poems, song lyrics, short musical scripts and other culturally crucial items. Yet, small objects are a confounding case for our recent work adapting ideas from algorithmic information theory (AIT) to the domain of computational creativity, as they cannot be either logically deep or sophisticated following the traditional definitions of AIT. We show how restricting the class of models under analysis can make it the case that we can still separate high-quality small objects from ordinary ones, and discuss the strengths and limitations of our adaptation.

Resumen: El presente artículo se encarga de analizar la incorporación del alumnado femenino a la enseñanza de Artes Plásticas y Diseño dentro de un marco temporal referenciado que abarca desde el final de la Guerra Civil española hasta la actualidad. El propósito es examinar la escasa evolución de la mujer dentro del sistema educativo en una etapa marcada por la adquisición de derechos. Se pretende analizar social y cualitativamente el lugar que la mujer ocupaba y ocupa en la configuración de un sistema educativo complejo, en nuestra historia reciente. En este contexto se analizan las especialidades artísticas más demandadas por el sexo femenino en las enseñanzas de bachillerato, formación profesional y estudios superiores no universitarios.Para ello debemos conceptualizar y situar estas enseñanzas a lo largo de la historia y cómo los cambios acontecidos durante su evolución han afectado al alumnado femenino. Las enseñanzas de Artes Plásticas y Diseño son herederas de la tradición reformista que el Movimiento Arts & Crafts iniciado en Europa por William Morris en el siglo XIX. Durante más de doscientos años ha evolucionado condicionadas, siempre, por la inestabilidad del cambiante sistema educativo español.Palabras clave: Educación, mujer, estudios artísticos, escuelas de arte, artes plásticas, diseño.   Abstract: This article is responsible for analyzing female students’ incorporation to the teaching of Fine Arts and Design since the end of the Spanish Civil War to the present. The purpose is to examine the modest evolution of women in the education system during a time marked by the acquisition of rights. It also aims to analyse socially and qualitatively the place that women occupied and occupy in the configuration of a complex education system in our recent history. In this context, the most demanded artistic specialties by the female sex are analyzed in the baccalaureate, vocational training and non-university higher education courses.For this reason, we must conceptualize and situate these teachings throughout history and how the changes occurred during their evolution have affected female students. The teachings of Fine Arts and Design are heiresses to the reformist tradition that the Arts & Crafts Movement initiated in Europe by William Morris in the 19th century. For more than two hundred years it has evolved, always conditioned, by the instability of the changing Spanish educational system.Keywords: Education, women, artistic studies, art schools, plastic arts, design. http://dx.doi.org/10.7203/eari.9.12101
