However, in Arab societies, social commentary art has not been as widely recognized or studied. Although there are artworks in Arab countries that carry powerful messages, it is unclear how social commentaries relate to Arab printmaking as kind of art. This study aims to explore social commentary influence in Arab printmaking artworks, with a specific focus on the collection of Barjeel Art Foundation.
The Impact Of Social Media On Animation Creativity Through Intrinsic Motivation Among University Students In Jiangsu Province, China
(2024-08)
Wang, Lei
Social media has emerged as a powerful medium of communication across the globe, and its extensive use has changed the way people communicate and interact online. We have reached the point where these tools are no longer optional but instead integral components of effective 21st-century school leadership. In recent years, interest in creativity has grown as the field of education has placed greater emphasis on the expression of creativity. Meanwhile, studies have shown that the creative thinking skills required by animation students are declining. It can be seen that attention on social media has increased while students’ creativity has decreased. Preliminary research has shown that social media has an impact on students’ creativity, and intrinsic motivation plays an important role in it. The study combines the theory of stimulus-organization-response (S-O-R). Students receive stimulation (S) in the form of exposure to social media, and as organisms (O), this stimulation affects their creative motivation, resulting in responses (R) that affect students’ creativity. In the study, a theoretical framework for the impact of social media on students’ creativity under the influence of intrinsic motivation was established, and the development of hypotheses was completed. The study also measures the relationship among social media, intrinsic motivation, and students’ creativity, as well as influence effects. The research used quantitative research measured by survey research and quasiexperimental methods.

Sun, Xiaoli
Contemporary PICA combines ceramic media with a long history, plant motifs, and modern innovative thinking. Significant changes have taken place compared with the past. However, regarding theory, the research on plant motif, cultural meaning, creation technique, and application form is insufficient in China. Regarding practice, the plant motif is outdated, and ceramic artists must try to implement innovation and update the traditional creation mode. Therefore, this research aims to explore the application, creation, and innovation of plant images in contemporary ceramic artworks. First, discovers the aesthetic characteristics, cultural meanings, application forms and expressive features of plant image in ceramic artworks through literature research and observation. Second, uses questionnaire survey and expert interview method to research and collect data. The SPSS software was used to quantitatively analysis the data of 103 respondents, aiming to understand people's perception and preference for PICA and variant correlation and influence relationships. NVivo’s software conducted a qualitative analysis of the interview content of 6 ceramic experts and explored the main concerns and thinking angles of creation. Third, apply experimental creation method to implement the practice, collecting various plant images for modelling and texture, collage and hollowing, colour experiment, and comprehensive material creation. The results show that: (1) 46.6% respondents prefer flower motifs, culture meaning showing personal expectations, natural materials, abstract and creative shapes, rich glaze or texture, handmade, and used in home decoration.
Perception And Comprehension Of Signage Wayfinding System In Hospitals For The Elderly In Guangzhou, China
(2024-07)
Lujie, Deng
In the context of china's aging population, wayfinding in large and complex hospitals is one of the key challenges faced by the elderly.Currently, there exists a lack of research on the elderly’s perception and comprehension of hospital signage in china. This study aims to determine the actual requirements of hospital wayfinding signage among the elderly, and to provide recommendations for an age-friendly signage system. This study used mixed methods to investigate the elderly’s perception and comprehension of signage systems in three hospitals in guangzhou. The results of this study shows that most elderly have chosen to first ask others for directions, before using and following signage systems. And the elderly experience more difficulty reading and interpreting hospital signage. In signage, importantly helpful and valuable to the elderly are graphics, text, colour and updates to the signage system, because these elements directly affect the readability and understandability of the signage. Additionally, younger and more educated participants responded faster and more accurately. Moreover, the five cognitive features of symbols are positively correlated with comprehension levels; the accuracy of semantic depiction showed as the best predictor, followed by familiarity and concreteness, as these features are more likely to affect symbol comprehension and guessing ability. In conclusion, this study reveals the importance of considering the opinions and feedback of elderly users in designing hospital signage systems.
The Impact Of Narrative Images To Create Awareness About Environmental Degradation In Kafanchan City, Nigeria
(2024-05)
Timothy, Titus
The environment in kafanchan city, nigeria heavily deteriorates every day due to human factors such as refuse dumping, bush burning, deforestation, and open grazing. Therefore, this study employs narrative images to raise awareness of the degradation problems occurring in the city by using photography. Photography has proven to be an essential medium of visual communication to raise awareness, but its potential is not fully utilised in nigeria. Hence, this study is qualitative and utilizes an exploratory research design in its approach. The data was collected by using the stratified sampling method by interviewing two groups of people, civil servants, and non-government workers. Analysis of the data was done by using thematic and visual narrative methods. A simple percentage was used to calculate whether the images were effective in conveying environmental degradation messages based on a 3-point likert scale. The likert scale was used to add value to the qualitative research. Findings from the respondents indicate that the images have a very strong impact in conveying environmental degradation messages. This shows that environmental degradation messages can be effectively conveyed through narrative images in the form of photographs. As an outcome of this research, the photobook tells a story and increases awareness about environmental degradation. This study is a call to action towards the conservation of the environment in kafanchan city nigeria. Recommendations were also made for future studies in the field.
