Contrast the difference of thinking between Chinese and Western painting

This article is based on the theoretical basis of Chinese and Western culture, with Chinese and Western classical paintings as the object of comparison, with problem awareness as the research perspective, and through five aspects of aesthetic characteristics, spatial awareness, painting themes, color concepts and development roads of Chinese and Western classical paintings. Aesthetics comparison and research in this respect reveal the different cultural connotations and aesthetic qualities of Chinese and Western classical paintings

ЛИНГВОКУЛЬТУРНЫЕ КОНЦЕПТЫ ЦВЕТА В АНГЛИЙСКОМ, ФРАНЦУЗСКОМ И РУССКОМ ЯЗЫКАХ (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ ФРАЗЕОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ ЕДИНИЦ С ЦВЕТОВЫМ ПРИЗНАКОМ)

The relevance of the given research can be explained by the fact that concepts of colour represent significant information about the hierarchy of values within the linguistic community and contribute to the notion «colour picture of the world». It is reasonable to conduct a research of colour from the perspective of cultural linguistics, in particular, of its branch, linguistic conceptology. The article provides a linguo-cultural analysis of the colour conceptual sphere, represented by phraseological units with colour attribute and colour words in the english, french and russian languages. The objectives of the research are to carry out a comparative analysis of phraseological units with colour attribute and colour words in the english, french and russian languages and reveal their universality, difference and their unique character in the linguistic cultures under consideration. The main methods of the research are comparative and interpretation analyses as well as etymological and quantitative methods. The main sources for the research are phraseological units with colour attribute and words denoting colour collected from english, french and russian phraseology dictionaries using the continuous sampling method. The research has led to the following conclusions: man perceives the world around through colours, because colour accompanies almost all manifestations of human life; every language culture is characterized by its own ethnic-priority and ethnic-relevant colours; colour acts as an expression of universality, difference and uniqueness in the perception of the outside world. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the development of linguistic and cultural conceptology with regard to the conceps of colour.

Quality-Space Functionalism about Color

I motivate and defend a previously underdeveloped functionalist account of the metaphysics of color, a view that I call ‘quality-space functionalism’ about color. Although other theorists have proposed varieties of color functionalism, this view differs from such accounts insofar as it identifies and individuates colors by their relative locations within a particular kind of so-called ‘quality space’ that reflects creatures’ capacities to discriminate visually among stimuli. My arguments for this view of color are abductive: I propose that quality-space functionalism best captures our commonsense conception of color, fits with many experimental findings, coheres with the phenomenology of color experience, and avoids many issues for standard theories of color such as color physicalism and color relationalism.

Multidimensional Interpretation of exaggerated language in modern folk painting

artistic creation contains different degrees of exaggeration, which can reflect the laws and characteristics of artistic creation under different cultural backgrounds, and interpret the exaggeration language of modern folk painting from multiple dimensions. From each stage of the development of modern folk painting, understand the current development status of modern folk painting. According to the two aspects of painting modeling and layout, this paper analyzes the role of exaggerated language in modern folk painting, which can form unique expression forms of different styles and characters. In the three directions of emotion and color concept expression, modeling and composition mode selection, inheritance concept and development trend, this paper interprets the exaggerated language of modern folk painting from multiple dimensions, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the research of modern folk painting.

MENGEMBANGKAN KEMAMPUAN KOGNITIF ANAK USIA DINI MELALUI PERMAINAN BALOK

Cognitive as a thought process in the form of the ability to connect, assess and consider something. One of the cognitive abilities that children can develop is to recognize the concept of shape, color and size. Introducing the concept of shape, color, and size to children is important because color, shape and size are the most visible features in the world around us and can help children solve problems in life and adapt to their environment. There are 4 stages of child development, namely motor sensory, concrete pre-operation, concrete operation, and formal operation. Through play activities that contain education, children's thinking powers are stimulated to stimulate emotional, social and physical development. Utilizing the surrounding environment as a means and source of learning by giving children the opportunity to explore experiences gained orally or with creative media. The use of blocks in early childhood education is intended to develop various abilities of children, in addition to providing opportunities for children to explore. Educational game tools (APE) for early childhood are always designed with in-depth thinking tailored to the child's age range. Game tools for children aged 4-5 years are made simpler and not too difficult compared to games for children aged 5-6 years which are more difficult to work on.

Upaya Meningkatkan Kemampuan Mengenal Konsep Warna Melalui Kegiatan Meronce Pada Anak Kelompok B TK Dharma Wanita 2 Mojotengah Kedu Temanggung Semester I Tahun Pelajaran 2017/2018

One of the basic competencies in kindergarten is that children can recognize simple concepts with indicators that children are able to recognize color concepts. Color recognition for children can stimulate the senses of sight, brain, aesthetics, and emotions. Meronce activities are aimed at training children's eye and hand coordination. The rationale for this problem arises is the low ability to recognize the concept of color in Group B TK Dharma Wanita 2 Mojotengah. The purpose of this study was to determine the process of meronce activities to improve the ability to recognize children's color concepts and to determine the magnitude of the increase in the ability to recognize color concepts after resonating activities in Group B children TK Dharma Wanita 2 Mojotengah Kedu Temanggung Semester I Academic Year 2017/2018. The subjects of this study were 15 students of Group B TK Dharma Wanita 2 Mojotengah. The research was carried out from September to October 2017. The data collection methods used were observation, documentation, and interviews. Based on the results of research and discussion, it can be concluded that meronce activities can improve the ability to recognize color concepts in Group B children TK Dharma Wanita Mojotengah 2. This can be seen from the results of increasing the ability to recognize color concepts in Group B children TK Dharma Wanita Mojotengah 2 in The pre-cycle condition was 20% then increased to 46.7% in Cycle I and finally increased in Cycle II by 93.3%, it was proven that the child was able to designate colors, mention or differentiate colors and classify colors.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF BIBLICAL PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH BLUE AND GREEN COLOUR COMPONENTS (on the example of English, Russian and Georgian)

Language as an important part of culture reflects our reality and interprets it, creating the reality in which we live. It expresses mentality of the nation, views of peoples in the world and is closely related to the history, culture and traditions of different countries.The study of language is provided within many different disciplinary areas and from different theoretical angles, all of which inform modern approaches to linguistics.Echoes of previous years remain today in proverbs, sayings, phraseological units, metaphors, culture symbols, etc. Lan- guage learning is a natural creative process.A study and analysis of words cannot be done without the consideration of various features and linguistic theories. Language attracts people’s attention because of the wealth literature and knowledge enshrined in it. As is known EnglishRussian and Georgian are considered as one of the most vital universal languages in the world. Nothing defines a culture as distinctly as its language, and the element of language that best encapsulates a society’s values and beliefs is its proverbs. Proverbial expressions are still very much alive in everyday languages, and the daily conversation would seem rather dull without them. Biblical proverbs and sayings are the wisdom of thought.Although English, Russian and Georgian belong to a family of different languages and systematically differs from each other, it is interesting to make comparative analysis of different lexical and phraseological units.There are countless colours in nature. Colour is a physical, psychological, and linguistic phenomenon and a subject of analysis in many sciences, a component of many arts playing a great role in the life of society. The lexical group of colour designation is significant in creation and expression of a language picture.The notion of colour is multifaceted, complex in its structure. It expresses not only visual perception but also connotative meanings. The diversity of the meanings of colors is due to the history of the development of states, religions and traditions. A colour palette has been reflected in mythology, legends, fairy tales, customs and various religious or mystical teachings.In this paper, we aimed at discussing the phenomenon of blue and green colours, which has a wide range of nominal po- tential and semantic ambiguity. They are the most conservative colours in the spectrum, perceived in both human consciousness and languages with a wide range of symbolic meanings.In linguistics, the study of colour concepts in different languages has a long tradition, presented by lots of publications. People can look at the same subject but perceive its colour differently. Colour terms differ across languages and the differences have been viewed through the prism of culture.A phraseological unit is more complex and multi-dimensional space, as far as the language reveals its possibilities most in phraseological units. As language is a meaning of expressing thoughts, any linguistic unit (a word, phrase, saying ...) should be considered in context.In our paper we have attempted to present phraseological units in three languages adapting bible words and expressions that made them own language property. Thus, it should be noted that phraseological units make the concentrated wisdom of all nations. They have certain pure linguistic features showing powerful universal and actually national culturological and lan- guage capacity. As far as we understand, phraseological units have their own connotative fields, analysing expressions with the above mentioned colours in the given languages, we can see that the connotative fields of the colours are not always integral. Life of biblical expressions in the modern European languages convincingly testifies to imperishability of spirit and a letter of the Book of books.Comparative approach allows receiving information on similarity or distinction of colour concepts in different languages, national and specific, lingvocultural peculiarities, conceptual models of vision of the world and interpretations in separate languages.

The Study of the Principles of Philosophy of Islamic Art

The main discourse on Islamic art in the western academia primarily views Islamic art through the lens of art history and sociology of art. Islamic art is considered as sacred in Islamic civilisation and culture, and derives its sanctity from the Quran as the fountain from which it has emanated, which Muslims consider to be the Word of God, much like Christ is the Word of God in Christianity. The Quran has played a formative role in shaping the trinity of sacred Islamic art which is Quranic recitation, calligraphy and architecture. However, another approach which not only is viable but can be considered of great importance to the study of Islamic art, is the employment and utilisation of principles of Islamic philosophy and Sufism which were the pillars of the intellectual milieu in which a given work of art is produced. The application of such principles allows a more comprehensive and detailed interpretation of a work of art. In this paper, the primary Islamic philosophy and sufi doctrines that will be discussed are the concepts of imagination, colour, and calligraphy and examples of their application in the khānqāh and shrine ensemble of Shaykh Ṣafi al-Din Ardabīlī in Ardabil, Iran.

Neighbor Sum Distinguishing Total Choice Number of Planar Graphs without 6-cycles

Pilsniak and Woźniak put forward the concept of neighbor sum distinguishing (NSD) total coloring and conjectured that any graph with maximum degree Δ admits an NSD total (Δ + 3)-coloring in 2015. In 2016, Qu et al. showed that the list version of the conjecture holds for any planar graph with Δ ≥ 13. In this paper, we prove that any planar graph with Δ Δ 7 but without 6-cycles satisfies the list version of the conjecture.

Designing PhysicIdea! MOOC: Challenges on teacher education

Massive Open Online Courses provides massive scale education supporting the transfer of knowledge and the potential of collaborative and social learning. In addition, can be a cost and resource effective means to complement the traditional methods of professional development of teachers. Teacher Professional Development has become a major policy priority within education systems worldwide. Keeping teachers professionally up-to-date and providing them professional development opportunities on continuing basis is a big challenge. Learning Analytics aims of understanding and optimizing learning through data provided from learner’s action in a digital environment. Teaching strategies that take into account students' previous perceptions are fundamental for science education. Students of all levels daily deal with concepts like light and color and appear alternative ideas about these concepts. This paper discusses the challenges of Teacher Professional Development, reflects upon promises of using Massive Open Online Courses for Teacher Professional Development; details initiatives and experiences of using Massive Open Online Courses for Teacher Professional Development, and suggests actions for promoting the use of Massive Open Online Courses for Teacher Professional Development. Finally, proposes the integration of digital learning environments into a MOOC that offers techniques for the detection of future teachers’ ideas about the concepts of light and color .

Bioinspiration in Printmaking – Routes Toward Structural and Pigmentless Colour


 
 
 Colour arises most prominently in the world from subtractive processes. For instance, if a material is dyed with a pigment, when a light is shone upon it, the pigment absorbs portions of the electromagnetic spectrum that the base material does not. This translates directly into a colour, that is, our eye’s interpretation of one small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, known as the visible spectrum (which are waves with a wavelength between 380 – 780 nanometers). For example, in general (though with some notable exceptions) leaves are green because the chlorophyll in them strongly absorbs the red and blue portions of the spectrum, leaving the green to be reflected, irrespective of factors such as viewing angle. It is interesting to recognize that the colour we assign to an object is in fact the colour which is ‘rejected’ by the material composition, as opposed to anything ‘accepted’ by it.
 
 
 
 This concept of subtractive colour is so ubiquitous in printmaking that it doesn’t often merit discussion. Subtractive colour pigments are the de facto method of colouration because they are widely accessible, easily manufactured and, most of all, cheap. However, as manufacturing methods become more complex and these pigments in turn become more accessible, we can begin to imagine colouration that is far more complex.
 
 
 
 
 

ANALISIS PENJADWALAN MATA PELAJARAN MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA WELCH-POWELL

At the beginning of each semester, subjects scheduling is always carried out by the curriculum representatives and academic staff. There were several problems that must be avoided in subjects scheduling, these problems were the schedule of teachers who teach one subject at the same time are scheduled in different classes, teachers who teach more than one subject are scheduled in the same class at the same time, teachers who are lack of scheduled for teaching. In the subject of graph theory, there is a concept of graph coloring, one of which is vertex coloring. In vertex coloring, there is a Welch-Powell Algorithm application which produces a color for each vertex. In subject scheduling, it is assumed that the vertex is the subject and the teacher, while the edge is the class. In vertex coloring, graph vertices are colored so that there's no two neighboring vertices have the same color. The aim of this research was to arrange a lesson schedule so that problems do not occur such as clashes between teachers, subjects, and teaching hours. The method used in arranging this lesson schedule used the Welch-Powell Algorithm. The results obtained were using the Welch-Powell Algorithm to produce a lesson schedule every day where if there are two classes that have the same subject, they can meet the same day requirements but come in different hours and get a lesson schedule that has no clash between teachers, subjects, and teaching hours.

Graph coloring using commuting order product prime graph

The concept of graph coloring has become a very active field of research that enhances many practical applications and theoretical challenges. Various methods have been applied in carrying out this study. Let G be a finite group. In this paper, we introduce a new graph of groups, which is a commuting order product prime graph of finite groups as a graph having the elements of G as its vertices and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they commute and the product of their order is a prime power. This is an extension of the study for order product prime graph of finite groups. The graph's general presentations on dihedral groups, generalized quaternion groups, quasi-dihedral groups, and cyclic groups have been obtained in this paper. Moreover, the commuting order product prime graph on these groups has been classified as connected, complete, regular, or planar. These results are used in studying various and recently introduced chromatic numbers of graphs.

The atlas of aging society 2.0

Abstract. Most of the western countries currently experience a demographic change. It is essential catching this structural change with all its socio-spatial and life-specific dimensions and make it visible in a generally understandable way.The atlas of the aging society 2.0, based on a first version launched in 2017, aims to visualize age-related information in an interactive web application that supports not only the content but also engages the users, is accessible to a broad audience, offers opportunities for different stakeholders and levels of interest, and can accommodate a high range of data as well as future updates.As in the initial version, the atlas of aging society 2.0 operates with a novel concept called the story-network principle which connects briefly introduced visualizations such that a braid of age-related information develops. Like conventional atlases, the dimensions of information are divided into different topic areas. Each topic comprises several stories consisting of multiple information cards. Various connecting lines link the cards together and integrate all of them into an informational network. Storylines connect cards in a directional order such that their information covers a particular aspect of a topic. Related-card lines link cards that have similar content but do not belong to the same story, while recommended-card lines prevent users from dead ends by connecting story ending cards with different story starting cards. The user decides at any time whether he/she wants to follow a storyline through a whole topic aspect or if he/she interrupts the story and navigates into other topics to explore further information.The story-network is visibly displayed on the web application’s landing page and follows the reverse conclusion from Tobler's first law of geography. The similarity in the content of information cards reflects their spatial position in the network. The information cards are displayed as nodes. The appearance of the edges explains the type of connection between the nodes. To immerse oneself in the informational network of the atlas of aging society 2.0, different options are available. It is possible to navigate directly from the story-network view on the landing page to a specific card by a single click on the representative node. To give the user an idea of what information is hidden behind the nodes, the title of the nodes can be displayed in the story network view using an on-touch function. The topic-entry option is ideal for users who search for specific information. Therefore, an interactive and hierarchically organized bubble plot was created. When hovered, the bubble plot first divides into topic-area bubbles. On a second level, these are divided into individual stories, from which the user can choose. A third option is the usage of the coincidence-button, leading the user to a random card.Each card includes a visualization, a descriptive text, and some additional information compromised in the metadata. The visualizations follow a uniform visual language, by using a constant colour concept and an overarching design language. The graphical representations use the D3.js and DC.js JavaScript libraries. One aim of the atlas of aging society 2.0 was to make visualizations more interactive by working with hover- and click-functions and by the implementation of interactive dashboards. The ability to interact with selected visualizations intends to motivate users to explore and display data according to their interests.The atlas of aging society 2.0 is currently optimized for tablets while a desktop version is in progress. In this version, there are many new exciting subject areas and contents, which can be explored. The use of the story-network principle as implemented in this project is also conceivable for other applications due to its linking and ordering properties and its easy scalability.

A novel method for quantifying color concept saliency

A novel method for quantifying color concept saliency

Of the Akan people: Colour and design education in Ghana

This article digests some of the general ideas that constitute the concept of colour among the Akan people of Ghana and how their proper understanding and desirable consideration will enhance effective visual communication in the Ghanaian visual arts curriculum. The investigation, which involved a number of conversations with knowledgeable personalities in the teaching and speaking of the Akan language, sought to bring out the perceptions, beliefs and functions of colour among the people. The outcome of the study pointed to how colour resides deeply within the traditional lives of the Akan people, not only as aesthetical experience but also as an ‘object’ of cultural and spiritual signification. The study therefore recommends a proper understanding of and conscious respect to the perceptions and meanings of colour among contemporary Akan designers and design educators to improve the design experience of teachers, learners and practitioners.

Concepts on Coloring of Cluster Hypergraphs with Application

Coloring of graph theory is widely used in different fields like the map coloring, traffic light problems, etc. Hypergraphs are an extension of graph theory where edges contain single or multiple vertices. This study analyzes cluster hypergraphs where cluster vertices too contain simple vertices. Coloring of cluster networks where composite/cluster vertices exist is done using the concept of coloring of cluster hypergraphs. Proper coloring and strong coloring of cluster hypergraphs have been defined. Along with these, local coloring in cluster hypergraphs is also provided. Such a cluster network, COVID19 affected network, is assumed and colored to visualize the affected regions properly.

Alternating signed bipartite graphs and difference-1 colourings

We investigate a class of 2-edge coloured bipartite graphs known as alternating signed bipartite graphs (ASBGs) that encode the information in alternating sign matrices. The central question is when a given bipartite graph admits an ASBG-colouring; a 2-edge colouring such that the resulting graph is an ASBG. We introduce the concept of a difference-1 colouring, a relaxation of the concept of an ASBG-colouring, and present a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for when a graph admits a difference-1 colouring. The relationship between distinct difference-1 colourings of a particular graph is characterised, and some classes of graphs for which all difference-1 colourings are ASBG-colourings are identified. One key step is Theorem 3.4.6, which generalises Hall's Matching Theorem by describing a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a subgraph H of a bipartite graph in which each vertex v of H has some prescribed degree r(v).

A Visualization System for Exploring Logo Trend and Design Shape Patterns

A logo is an effective way of expressing a brand’s identity and an essential element in conveying the values and image of the company. The development process of a competitive logo should be based on a design that is future-proof in a rapidly changing global market; hence, understanding the design trends for successful logo design is key. In this study, the design shape elements of logo trend models were analyzed and made into a database. Then, a trend analysis system was produced using radial visualization (RadViz) and circular parallel coordinates data visualization techniques. RadViz allows observation of clusters of logos that have similar shape elements, whereas with circular parallel coordinates plots, detailed information of the shape elements of each logo trend can be seen. Using the system, it was confirmed that shape elements—such as transformation to surface, overlapping, artificiality, concept of color and rhythm—play a major role in driving a trend. It was observed that trends change over time as various shape elements are added or removed. In addition, our study is expected to help predict the logo trend models that will come into style in the future. While similar efforts have been made in the past, our proposed system improves upon them by utilizing standard design elements as the categorizing criteria, using a unique combination of RadViz and circular parallel coordinates data visualization techniques. Using our system as a guideline, many users would be able to create logos that reflect what is trending.

Conceptual change and conceptual engineering: the case of colour concepts

ABSTRACT I analyse conceptual change and conceptual engineering in the special case of colour concepts. The case raises the prospects of conceptual engineering because a precise standard for measuring the amelioration of the structure of concepts is available. On the other hand, the study highlights the problems with controlling conceptual engineering pointed out by Cappelen. I argue that in the case of conceptual change of colour concepts varying degrees of optimization, design and control are possible. I submit that this observation can be generalized to other classes of concepts. As a result, the scope of conceptual engineering is reduced considerably; conceptual engineering appears as a limit case of conceptual change.
