International Journal of Arts and Technology (IJART)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • A Survey on the Epistolary Calligraphy Art of Kim Jeonghui during his Early Exile Period   Order a copy of this article
    by Zhenyu Li, Zhan Gao, Fernando Jorge Matias Sanches Oliveir 
    Abstract: Abstract: Kim Jeonghui holds the highest esteem as a calligrapher in Joseon and played a significant role in cultural exchanges between China and Joseon. His creation of the "Chusa style" marked a new trend in the calligraphy scene of late Joseon. The early period of his exile was a crucial phase for his engagement with external influences and learning, serving as a key moment in the formation of his artistic style. This study examines three key stages in his development: his foundational learning phase, his period of artistic training, and the time from his official appointment up to the early stage of his exile. By analysing these stages from the perspectives of calligraphy studies and aesthetics, this paper seeks to further explore the formative clues of the "Chusa style" while offering a theoretical reference for understanding the development of calligraphic aesthetics in both Qing China and Joseon.
    Keywords: Kim Jeonghui; early exile period; letters; calligraphy art.

  • Cosmetic Packaging Design Method Integrating Shape Grammar from the Perspective of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content: a Case Study of Song Porcelain Patterns   Order a copy of this article
    by Zhenyu Li, Zhan Gao 
    Abstract: Abstract: This paper, taking the patterns of Song Dynasty porcelain as an example, explores novel approaches to cosmetic packaging design. First, a database of Song Dynasty porcelain patterns is set up. Then, through applying the derivation method based on shape grammar, innovation is carried out, during which the forms of these patterns are deconstructed and reconstructed while the cultural symbols are retained. Next, a low-rank adaptation model is trained with the Stable Diffusion model. By combining relevant functions along with the conditional control function of ControlNet, cosmetic packaging design schemes in the style of Song Dynasty porcelain are generated. Finally, the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is used to rank and optimise these design schemes. This comprehensive approach boosts the design's creativity, diversity, scientific nature, and rationality, offering fresh ideas for cosmetic packaging design.

  • Emotional Experience in Ethnic Vocal Music Appreciation Reflects AI Interactive Technology   Order a copy of this article
    by Yan Chen 
    Abstract: This research mainly discusses the important manifestation of the emotional experience in the music appreciation of ethnic vocal music in the AI interactive technology.The system adopts a three-layer BP neural network design, the input is the feature vector of the MIDI ethnic instrument music segment, and the output vector represents the music emotion. The music feature extraction module mainly completes the reading and analysis of music fragments in MIDI format, extracts the basic features of music and abstract features such as rhythm, melody, mode, tune, and harmony, and stores the feature information in a dynamic database. In the process of music feature extraction and recognition, the system first reads the note queue and speed information queue of ethnic vocal music in MIDI format, and then analyzes and calculates the basic characteristics of music, music mode and melody characteristics, and music rhythm characteristics.
    Keywords: AI Interaction; Emotional Experience; Music Appreciation; BP Neural Network; Music Features.
