educational role in COVID-19 terms of ethnodesign graphic function in higher education practical activities

The research aims to establish the effectiveness and assessment of the educational role of graphic function of ethnodesign, as well as to determine the feasibility of using didactics outside the classroom practices in art education in the terms of COVID-19. The methodology of study is based on a qualitative approach designed to analyze the results of the research experiment, which provides for comprehensiveness in the study. The method of experiment in work is basic, also applied methods of interviewing and observation. The hypothesis is that in the development of art specialties curricula should be used extracurricular practical classes, where educational components of the graphic function of ethnodesign, as they form creative and educated professionals, actualize educational aspects. The result of the research is the establishment of positive assessment by the participants of educational process of using the graphic function of ethnodesign for educational purposes during practical extracurricular classes since this methodology contributes to the development of creativity and has significant innovative potential in revealing the creative abilities of art students, where students actively influence educational process together. The perspective in the research work is the further implementation of educational and training projects dedicated to the methods of teaching design courses.

"And ... the dazzle continued inside ...": New Zealand interior and landscape architectures of the 1930s

The Depression began in the late 1920s, but was not simply triggered by the October 1929 crash in Wall Street. In the two years between 1928-29 and 1930-31, "export income nearly halved. ... The government ... slashed expenditure," including severe cuts to public spending in health and education. As Ann Calhoun notes:[t]he effect of the 1930s Depression on [Schools of Art] students and instructors alike was massive: salaries were reduced, the school admission age was raised, overscale salaries were limited, grants for sewing and science were withdrawn, administration grants were cut back, training colleges in Wellington and Dunedin closed and student allowances decreased, and grants to kindergartens were withdrawn.A proposal for a town-planning course by John Mawson (the Director of Town Planning)) and Cyril Knight (Head of Architecture, Auckland University College) likewise failed due to "lack of numbers and Depression cutbacks." Helen Leach also notes the impact of cuts to education more generally, writing that: "[m]others of young children who expected them to start school at four or five learned in May 1932 that the age of entry would be raised to six."

Self-efficacy of Art Undergraduates in Mobile-assisted English Learning

This research adopts the questionnaire survey method and selects 208 freshmen from the Guangxi Arts University as the research objects. The research studies the English self-efficacy and mobile learning situation of art college students and understands students’ views on using mobile devices/platform to assist in their learning of the English language. Results found that all students have mobile phones which allow teachers and students to use them for English learning. Besides, most art college students have a low sense of English self-efficacy, including low self-confidence, low enthusiasm in English learning, and average level of solving English learning difficulties. In addition, more than half of the students agree with the use of mobile devices/platforms to assist in English learning. Only a small number of people oppose it. This finding lays a preliminary foundation for later empirical research on using mobile learning to cultivate the English self-efficacy of art students.

Discerning the painter’s hand: machine learning on surface topography

Attribution of paintings is a critical problem in art history. This study extends machine learning analysis to surface topography of painted works. A controlled study of positive attribution was designed with paintings produced by a class of art students. The paintings were scanned using a chromatic confocal optical profilometer to produce surface height data. The surface data were divided into virtual patches and used to train an ensemble of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for attribution. Over a range of square patch sizes from 0.5 to 60 mm, the resulting attribution was found to be 60–96% accurate, and, when comparing regions of different color, was nearly twice as accurate as CNNs using color images of the paintings. Remarkably, short length scales, even as small as a bristle diameter, were the key to reliably distinguishing among artists. These results show promise for real-world attribution, particularly in the case of workshop practice.

Extreme environments: An educational framework for arts-based field research

Field station research locations offer scientists isolation and immersion for more precise statistical analysis of climate change and environmental damage. As more art/science initiatives develop in academia, art students are gaining access to difficult scientific research sites and using the experience to fuel creative strategies. The methodology for offering a course that taps these into possibilities for the teaching of creativity remains little explored. Through a case study at the School of Creative Media in Hong Kong, this article examines how student expeditions that work adjacent to environmental scientists in extreme environments can be used for the teaching of creativity and artistic process as well as informing a larger public on climate issues. The structure of the program with detailed descriptions of sequenced proficiencies is presented. Both pedagogical philosophy and logistic issues will be discussed through the set-up and organizational structure of the course, the variety of teaching materials, assignments, dissemination and finally the exhibition and impact of the students’ work. Using scientific resources with the goal of artistic interpretation, the pedagogy is designed to respond to the emerging potential of digital technologies in creative media. The results, both for the students and the public, demonstrate multimodal approaches that offer broader possibilities for learning and outreach that are both scalable and transferable.

CORRELATION BETWEEN SOCIAL FEEDBACK AND ARTISTIC MOTIVATION AMONG FINE ARTS STUDENTS

Art is an essential component of human life. It is a necessary discipline in the educational system of every society and is considered a professional field because it requires skills and mental capabilities to be presented as a concept. Most importantly, artistic concepts are created for evaluation. Hence, feedbacks are integral to creative art. The primary objective of the current study was to examine the artistic motivation of fine art students based on social feedback. One hundred and six (n = 106) students enrolled in fine and applied art departments in tertiary institutions in Kogi State, Nigeria, were employed as the studys participants. Data were collected using self-report measures. The simple linear regression analysis performed on the data established a positive correlation between social feedback and artistic motivation. The study concludes that social feedback is an essential component of artistic creativity.

Undergraduate creative arts students’ perceptions and attitudes toward disability: Advancing a critical disability studies informed curriculum

This study reports on the unanticipated findings of a small-scale, evaluative research project. Further to a pilot iteration, a cohort of undergraduate art students engaged with an immersive, inclusive arts curriculum informed by critical disability studies. Students’ perceptions and attitudes about disability were recorded at the outset and conclusion of the pedagogical project, through a qualitative questionnaire. Thematic analysis was employed to surface patterns in the cohort’s responses at both points in their learning journey. While the findings evidenced the anticipated shift from individualized perspectives about disability to an increasingly social, interactional perspective, the full extent of the medicalized gaze and internalized ableism at the outset of the study was unanticipated. This realization has been influential in developing the pedagogical approach and the framing of the content taught, and has exemplified both the potential and the need to learn about disability, disablement and diversity through art education.
