Virtual Construction Kits

The “Studio of art designing” develops and publishes electronic creative education programs for children and young people. All virtual kits represent miniature programs each designed for a small but clear task. The main purpose of each construction kit is to reveal the meaning of some aspect of the creative process. Virtual construction kits suggest the user making their own work of art. However, this creative process is done with the help of means and methods that develop the user’s thinking. Thus, the user gets to know this phenomenon “from the inside.” Virtual kits have found application in textbooks for a comprehensive school and as an accompaniment to museum projects. Projects related to the Russian Avant-Garde, antique vase-painting, steampunk, infographics, animation, “laterna magica” and visual storytelling are used in many secondary schools and museums in Russia.

If you plan to develop, stick to a civilized way

In the current situation, aggravated by the pandemic, the top management and employees of the mining company should understand the corporate tasks and objectives, and be aware that development of reserves is, first of all, a business that must be successful. Independent technical auditing is essential for everyone, both for state-of-the-art designing and for interaction with investors and banks. The subsoil users and investors have to understand that the civilized system of auditing and evaluation of deposits, created in developed countries almost half a century ago, leads to long-term and stable development. Subsoil users, who defy civilized work with auditors, designers, service companies and investors, as well as within their teams, are forced to get involved in legal processes that bring absolutely no benefits to the project development and reduce the efficiency of the subsoil development.

On Important Role of the View of Harmony between Man and Nature in Modern Art Designing - Taking Environmental Design as an Example

This paper mainly discusses the important role of the Chinese ancient view –“harmony between man and nature” in modern design. It focuses on the analysis of popular concepts of “environment orientation” and “people orientation” in environmental design, and holds the view that the concept of “harmony of man and nature” makes up for the deficiencies of the first two. In dealing with the relationship between man and himself or nature, the concept of “harmony between man and nature” offers a good theoretical basis which will surely become new ethics and standard in design.
