We applied this logo to daily items such as bags and tissue boxes, aiming to express the aesthetic value of Muslim culture in an accessible way. Research Background Initially, our research direction was broad, exploring the application of Muslim culture in daily design, including tableware, phone cases, and pen holders. However, based on feedback from our supervisor, we realized the need to refine our focus. After re-evaluating our approach, we chose Muslim architecture as our core research area. Mosque architecture not only represents Islamic cultural values, but also features intricate geometric patterns, calligraphic decor...

This was not just an academic study but also a meaningful cultural exchange. Research Background Our study focused on Muslim architecture, aiming to gain a deeper understanding of its artistic styles, historical backgrounds, and how it has evolved and integrated into different regions. We collected data through field visits and various sources. Luckily, our team members came from different countries, and one of them, a Chinese Muslim, shared valuable data about mosques in her hometown. Additionally, our Muslim classmates and friends provided photos and information about mosques from their own regions, which enriched our research materials. Resear...

Since each member had different perspectives on how to present this concept, our discussions lasted a long time. At first, we aimed to express key elements of Muslim culture through everyday items like tableware, phone cases, and pen holders. We also planned to consult our supervisor for guidance on refining our direction. We considered several possible approaches: The influence of Muslim culture on daily design – Examining how Muslim culture is reflected in everyday items such as tableware, phone cases, and household goods.  Cross-cultural design – Exploring ways to integrate Muslim cultural elements from dif...

During this period, I learned a lot about design principles.  I realized the importance of these principles in design and art for a designer or artist.  What did I enjoy the most? My favorite part of this module was analyzing which design principles artworks follow and improving them through my own designs.  What did l not enjoy the most? I didn't have a least favorite part.  Although I encountered many frustrating problems during the design process, I eventually managed to solve them appropriately. What have l learnt about myself through this module? Through this module, I gained a deeper understanding of my artistic style and discovered which artistic styles and design methods s...

We are expected to apply our knowledge of design principles in our idea development and final design. We may use any medium and/or materials, except for full photography, that are suitable to convey our final visual message. I decided to use Improve Design #1 to continue my task 3. Fig.1.1 Improve Design #1 Fig.1.2 Original painting:  'Rain Dove' - Adrienne Stein 2019 8 in  x 10 in  (20.3 cm x 25.4 cm) In this design, I changed the positions of the dove and the character, placing them facing each other. In the original painting, the dove stands on the character's shoulder, but in my design, I moved its position and extended the flower crow...

Selected Artwork Chosen Reason:  I feel a deep connection to the portrayal of women in art. I am not only drawn to external beauty and aesthetics but also eager to capture the inner strength and vitality of women through art. This preference aligns with the core ideas of many art movements and feminist theories. The 'charm and power' I perceive in women is actually a recognition of their complexity—they can be gentle yet strong, mysterious yet rebellious. My sense of power in art may come from my admiration for maternal stren...
