Abstract
Amidst the global wave of cultural digitization, Dong architectural ornamentation faces challenges of intergenerational technique loss and innovation constraints. This study proposes an AIGenerated Content (AIGC)-driven preservation framework to address these issues through technological empowerment. A three-phase methodology—data revitalization, intelligent generation, and cultural validation—was developed.The process begins with multimodal data integration, combining 3D digitization and oral history documentation. A deep learning-based generative model is then applied to semantically reconstruct decorative elements. Finally, these outputs are tested in physical architectural practices.Empirical findings indicate marked improvements in design efficiency and cultural semantic preservation through human-AI collaboration. Artisan evaluations highlight a balance between cultural authenticity and innovative acceptability.The research positions AIGC as a “digital translator” of cultural DNA, establishing a dual validation mechanism that combines algorithmic interpretation with humanistic insight. This approach offers a replicable model for safeguarding intangible heritage in the AI era, using structured semantic mapping and iterative cultural feedback. The findings contribute to interdisciplinary innovation in both heritage preservation and generative AI applications.

Abstract
This study investigates the methodological framework for developing fine arts and design theses through practical studio knowledge, focusing on London’s contemporary art studios as dynamic spaces for creative exploration and knowledge generation. By analyzing the interplay between conceptualization processes and actual studio work, the research reveals how artistic practice informs theoretical development in academic contexts. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of 1,012 survey responses from art practitioners with qualitative examination of studio artifacts including sketchbooks, material assemblages, and prototypes. Key findings demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between structured conceptualization and successful studio outcomes (F = 899.119, p < 0.001), validating the hypothesis that deliberate ideation processes enhance practical execution. Factor analysis confirmed robust measurement validity (KMO = 0.901), while case studies illustrate three critical methodological strategies emerging from studio practice: autonomous experimentation, reflective iteration, and developmental progression. These approaches bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and hands-on creation, offering replicable models for thesis development in arts education. The research highlights the studio’s dual role as both physical workspace and conceptual laboratory, where material engagement catalyzes innovative thinking. Particular emphasis is placed on how studio environments facilitate unexpected discoveries through what the study terms “controlled serendipity” – the deliberate cultivation of experimental conditions that allow for accidental breakthroughs while maintaining academic rigor. These insights contribute to ongoing discussions about practice-based research methodologies, providing concrete recommendations for arts educators and students navigating the thesis development process. The study ultimately proposes an integrated model of arts research that values process as much as product, demonstrating how studio-based knowledge production can yield both academic insights and artistic innovation.

Abstract This study explores how settler colonial ideologies and environmental changes influenced New Deal-era public artworks and private land murals in the Great Plains. Through quantitative analysis (1833–1939), it reveals how these artworks reinforced settler colonial narratives during the Dust Bowl, masking Indigenous ecological knowledge while promoting agrarian expansion. Spatial and statistical analyses demonstrate strong correlations between art locations, environmental degradation, and colonial violence (e.g., the Red Indian Massacre), with New Deal art mythologizing frontier settlement and erasing Indigenous presence. Private murals idealized “productive” land use, while public art emphasized ecological recovery—a duality that obscured ongoing Indigenous dispossession. Challenging New Deal historiography, this research centers settler colonialism as key to understanding environmental art’s role in cultural hegemony. It highlights how art institutionalized settler ecological imaginaries, impacting land policies and memory. The findings call for decolonial approaches in art history, urging greater attention to Indigenous perspectives on place and sustainability. By reframing the Great Plains’ artistic legacy as a contested intersection of power, ecology, and aesthetics, the study underscores the need to reassess public art’s role in environmental justice and displacement narratives.

Abstract
The animation industry has grown rapidly, but inefficiencies in production workflows still cause delays, higher costs, and reduced productivity. This study examines key inefficiencies across preproduction, production, and post-production phases, using mixed-methods research, including surveys of 649 professionals and pipeline analyses from studios. Statistical analysis (SPSS 25, KMO = 0.980, Bartlett’s p = 0.000) identified poor communication as the biggest challenge, leading to misalignment, rework, and scheduling issues. Other inefficiencies included resource mismanagement, outdated tools, and poor collaboration between artistic and technical teams. Hypothesis testing confirmed a strong link between communication gaps and inefficiencies (F = 997.888, p < 0.05). Weak pre-production planning (e.g., unclear storyboarding) also led to costly post-production fixes. To improve workflows, the study recommends better project management tools, standardized communication practices, and adaptive training programs. These changes can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve output quality. The findings offer actionable solutions for studios to optimize workflows in a competitive, technology-driven industry.
