Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the dynamic interplay between technology and traditional art techniques within the realm of contemporary design. The rapid advancement of technology has revolutionized the creative landscape, offering new tools and methodologies that challenge and complement traditional artistic practices. The study aims to explore how the fusion of technology and traditional art techniques influences the creative process, aesthetic outcomes, and overall design practices in the modern era. The research begins with an examination of the historical background of both technology and traditional art techniques, providing a contextual foundation for understanding their evolution and impact on contemporary design. By identifying the key developments and trends in technology and traditional art, the study underscores the transformative potential of integrating these disparate elements in the creative process. A critical analysis of the existing literature on the subject forms the basis of the study, delving into various perspectives, case studies, and theoretical frameworks that illuminate the intersection of technology and traditional art techniques in contemporary design. Through a comprehensive review of scholarly works, the research synthesizes diverse viewpoints and methodologies to construct a nuanced understanding of this multifaceted relationship. The research methodology employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research techniques to investigate the research questions comprehensively. Surveys, interviews, and case studies are utilized to gather empirical data, while theoretical frameworks and critical analysis are employed to interpret and contextualize the findings within the broader theoretical landscape. The findings of the study reveal a complex interplay between technology and traditional art techniques, highlighting the synergies, tensions, and possibilities that emerge from their integration in contemporary design practices. The analysis elucidates the ways in which technology enhances, challenges, or transforms traditional artistic processes, offering new modes of expression, experimentation, and collaboration in the creative domain. The discussion section critically engages with the research findings, drawing connections between theory and practice to illuminate the implications of the study for the fields of art, design, and technology. By unpacking the nuances of the relationship between technology and traditional art techniques, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of contemporary design and the potential avenues for future exploration and innovation. In conclusion, this thesis argues that the intersection of technology and traditional art techniques in contemporary design offers a rich and fertile ground for creative exploration and experimentation. By embracing the possibilities of technological advancements while honoring the heritage of traditional artistic practices, designers can navigate the complexities of the digital age with a renewed sense of creativity, innovation, and cultural awareness.
