The Relationship Between the Development of the Art Industry and the Turnover of Economic Cycles

Abstract: In recent years, the area has grown significantly, creating a trend in art appreciation. This boom has led to a surge in the popularity of museums such as the National Gallery. This project aims to find out more about the economic contribution of art exhibitions. Using advanced time series analysis models including the intervention analysis model and vector autoregressive model, we obtained the following conclusions. First, the positive impact of low levels of economic development and high levels of government expenditure on the arts industry is obvious. Second, the growth of the arts industry has a small impact on most economic indicators. Third, the final impact of GDP on the arts industry is still uncertain due to the complex pattern of the model, with the possibility of a positive correlation with ln (art prices) being observed in the early stages of small GDP growth, while a quadratic pattern may be observed when the GDP index grows above a certain level and art prices fall Conclusion. Further research is needed to investigate the complex relationship between inflation and art prices. Our academic contribution mainly focuses on the multiple-way causal relationships between the economy, art exhibition, tourism, and education, which reveals the underlying mechanism of how art exhibitions promote the economy.

The Appreciation of Tattoo Art among Malaysian

Tattoo art, once considered a taboo in many parts of Malaysia, is increasingly being recognized as a form of personal expression and artistic appreciation. This paper explores the evolving perceptions of tattoos within Malaysian society, emphasizing the factors contributing to their growing acceptance. Historically, tattoos were often linked to indigenous rituals, gang affiliations, or negative stereotypes. However, globalization, exposure to different cultures, and the rise of social media have shifted these perceptions, fostering a more nuanced appreciation of tattoo artistry. Through interviews, surveys, and analysis of tattoo-related media content, this study investigates the diverse motivations behind Malaysians’ decisions to get tattoos, including self-expression, cultural identity, and aesthetic appeal. The findings suggest that while conservative views persist, particularly among older generations and certain religious communities, a significant portion of younger Malaysians view tattoos as a legitimate art form. This demographic shift is influenced by the increasing visibility of tattoo artists, both local and international, who highlight the skill and creativity involved in tattooing. Furthermore, the study discusses the role of tattoo conventions and exhibitions in fostering a community of appreciation and learning. These events provide platforms for Malaysians to explore tattoo designs that resonate with their personal and cultural narratives, challenging traditional stigmas associated with body art. The paper concludes by suggesting that as societal norms continue to evolve, the appreciation of tattoo art in Malaysia will likely expand, reflecting broader global trends toward the normalization of body art as a personal and artistic choice.

Taking Advantage of the Aesthetic Values of Asiri Art Decorations to Enrich and Sustain the Printing of Modern Women’s Clothing Supplements to Preserve Saudi Heritage Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Sustainability is the result of modern-day design philosophy as a result of major industrial developments and many conflicts and wars. This concept is what prompted this research to focus on the possibility of achieving the principles of sustainability practically - in field reality - through the use of artificial intelligence techniques to create contemporary designs derived from the Saudi Asiri heritage and employ them in printing sustainable clothing supplements. Heritage-inspired design has cultural meaning and importance, and its purpose is to transmit our heritage to our emerging generations, and therefore it is considered a type of sustainable thought. The Asir region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a rich heritage that is greatly influenced by the charming nature of the place. The Asir region is distinguished by the art of the “Asiri Cat,” which consists of engravings, lines, and aesthetic formations engraved by women specialized in this field. They inherited this art from the women who preceded them. Asiri art is distinguished from other arts. The use of bright natural colors such as blue, green, orange, black and white, as the Asir region is considered one of the important heritage and tourist areas within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has played a pivotal role in enriching the cultural and creative stock not only of the Saudi citizen, but also of the Arabian Gulf region.

The role of audiovisual congruence in aesthetic appreciation of contemporary music and visual art

Does congruence between auditory and visual modalities affect aesthetic experience? While cross-modal correspondences between vision and hearing are well-documented, previous studies show conflicting results regarding whether audiovisual correspondence affects subjective aesthetic experience. Here, in collaboration with the Kentler International Drawing Space (NYC, USA), we depart from previous research by using music specifically composed to pair with visual art in the professionally-curated Music as Image and Metaphor exhibition. Our pre-registered online experiment consisted of 4 conditions: Audio, Visual, Audio-Visual-Intended (artist-intended pairing of art/music), and Audio-Visual-Random (random shuffling). Participants (N = 201) were presented with 16 pieces and could click to proceed to the next piece whenever they liked. We used time spent as an implicit index of aesthetic interest. Additionally, after each piece, participants were asked about their subjective experience (e.g., feeling moved). We found that participants spent significantly more time with Audio, followed by Audiovisual, followed by Visual pieces; however, they felt most moved in the Audiovisual (bi-modal) conditions. Ratings of audiovisual correspondence were significantly higher for the Audiovisual-Intended compared to Audiovisual-Random condition; interestingly, though, there were no significant differences between intended and random conditions on any other subjective rating scale, or for time spent. Collectively, these results call into question the relationship between cross-modal correspondence and aesthetic appreciation. Additionally, the results complicate the use of time spent as an implicit measure of aesthetic experience.

Analyzing the Impact of Aesthetic Anthropology on Art Appreciation Through the Lens of Gestalt Psychology

Historically, art appreciation has been considered an elite activity, often requiring extensive knowledge and expertise. However, this perspective has evolved over time. This paper explores the innovative integration of anthropology and psychology with art, focusing on how these disciplines can make art more accessible to ordinary people. By applying Gestalt theory to everyday aesthetic activities, this study reveals how abstract concepts can become universal and relatable. Case studies of Antonio Canova's "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss" and Picasso's "Bull" series show that viewers can understand and resonate with artistic themes even without extensive knowledge. Additionally, this paper examines how social and cultural contexts influence aesthetic experiences from the perspective of aesthetic anthropology, particularly "contextual aesthetics." The findings highlight the importance of removing barriers to art appreciation, encouraging active participation and subjective interpretation, and promoting inclusive and dynamic artistic expressions. The study also acknowledges the limitations of sample diversity and reliance on qualitative analysis, recommending that future research incorporate quantitative methods to obtain more reliable data.

Upaya Pelestarian Kesenian Kuda Lumping Sapu Jagad Desa Blubuk, Kabupaten Tegal Melalui Media Digital

Culture is a concept that encompasses the patterns of behaviour, beliefs, values, traditions and more that people pass on from generation to generation. It encompasses everything that makes a human group unique, including language, art, music, religion, technology, as well as daily ways of life. Culture reflects the way individuals interact and build relationships with other people. As a type of culture, traditional arts are an integral part of society. So, various types of arts that exist in the community need to be protected, developed and fostered. Such as the traditional art of Kuda Lumping Sapu Jagad in Blubuk Village, Dukuhwaru Subdistrict, Tegal Regency. The problem is that changes in lifestyle, technology and cultural values have shifted the interest of the younger generation away from traditional arts such as Kuda Lumping. The younger generation tends to be more interested in modern entertainment such as films, music, and social media. This makes traditional arts less desirable. Young people have an important role in preserving cultural heritage. Following the development of technology, it is very necessary to introduce this art through social media which is easily accessible and is currently loved. Effective promotion through social media is expected to increase awareness and appreciation of traditional arts. So that this valuable cultural heritage is preserved, recognised by future generations and even used as a unique identity of the region.
