民俗文化语境下的高校艺术设计教育

尽管当下中国高等艺术设计教育呈现出前所未有的迅猛发展态势,但在学科建设和教育实施方面也显示出一定的不足和问题,在诸多直接的原因之外,本文立足于深层文化思考,对中国视觉民俗文化主体之一的民间美术所蕴涵的文化意义作了进一步的透析,以期寻绎出在宏阔的民俗文化生态中我国高校艺术设计教学改革的策略与教育发展取向。     

艺术设计教育教学改革方法初探

近年来,我国的艺术设计教育获得了长足的发展,但原有的教育观念和方法已无法适应新形势的要求,使得培养的学生模仿能力强而创造力弱,缺乏实践和社会适应能力。艺术设计教育不仅仅是传统的技法教育,而且是一个需要创造性的、开发智慧与想象力的,能够培养学生多种知识、多种能力的综合性教育。笔者从教育观念、教学方法、教学评价三个方面进行教学改革的研究。     

设计艺术创造过程的研究

人类从远古走到今天,对设计艺术创造过程的认识一步步深入,随着社会经济、科技、文化的发展人们对设计艺术的创造也在不断的深化和完善。生活水平的提高使得人们对设计艺术也提出了更高的要求,本文就设计艺术创造过程的几个方面阐述自己的看法。从文中你可以觉察到设计艺术创造过程在我们设计艺术中的重要性。     

传统艺术价值之体现——试析凡高的绘画艺术

早期现代主义艺术是在对传统艺术的叛离,革新的基础上发展起来的,没有传统的积淀,创新和叛离就没有办法真正实现,所以在这个时期的艺术家就面临着如何看待传统的艺术价值,如何依照自己的艺术观念进行取舍,如何继承传统的问题。凡高是西方早期现代主义艺术中的代表画家,在他的艺术风格的形成发展过程中,传统对其绘画创作的影响是十分强大而深远的,体现在他各个时期的艺术作品和观念之中。至今仍具有现实意义。     

基于牛顿迭代算法的分形艺术图形设计

分形艺术图形是分形艺术最主要的表现形式之一,分形艺术图形的生成需要借助计算机,并通过数学模型和程序才能完成。文中主要利用牛顿迭代算法、特效处理算法和着色算法生成分形艺术图形,其中牛顿迭代算法是核心算法,为创作分形艺术图形提供素材;着色算法也是不可缺少的,为仓Ⅱ作分形艺术图形提供调色板,决定了生成的分形艺术图形的精美程度;特效处理算法是可选的,对分形艺术图形进行二次加工,也在一定程度上决定了分形艺术图形的精美程度。笔者利用Visual C＋＋6．0开发工具编制了一个分形艺术图形生成软件,生成了大量绚丽多彩的分形艺术图形,这说明该算法是有效的。     

几种主流编程语言的特点与比较

计算机编程语言种类很多,但仅有少数几种语言得到了比较广泛的应用。本文选择了C语言、VB、VB．NET和Java作为讨论对象,首先总结比较了它们的数据类型、控制语句的语法,然后对编码规则的细节进行了阐述,最后讨论了这几门语言的技术性能特点。

A class of high performance Maekawa-type algorithms for distributed systems under heavy demand

Summary Distributed Mutual Exclusion algorithms have been mainly compared using the number of messages exchanged per critical section execution. In such algorithms, no attention has been paid to the serialization order of the requests. Indeed, they adopt FCFS discipline. Conversely, the insertion of priority serialization disciplines, such as Short-Job-First, Head-Of-Line, Shortest-Remaining-Job-First etc., can be useful in many applications to optimize some performance indices. However, such priority disciplines are prone to starvation. The goal of this paper is to investigate and evaluate the impact of the insertion of a priority discipline in Maekawa-type algorithms. Priority serialization disciplines will be inserted by means of agated batch mechanism which avoids starvation. In a distributed algorithm, such a mechanism needs synchronizations among the processes. In order to highlight the usefulness of the priority based serialization discipline, we show how it can be used to improve theaverage response time compared to the FCFS discipline. The gated batch approach exhibits other advantages: algorithms are inherently deadlock-free and messages do not need to piggyback timestamps. We also show that, under heavy demand, algorithms using gated batch exchange less messages than Maekawa-type algorithms per critical section excution.

How entrepreneurial practices balance art and business: Insights into creative entrepreneurship in the European film industry

Relying on the literature on tensions and contradictions and the theory of practice, coupled with the literature on creative industries, this study uncovers how creative entrepreneurs balance the tension between art and business and respond to other challenges of creative entrepreneurship. The multiple case studies method is adopted by examining founders, cofounders and main employees of European film production companies. We reveal the perception of creative entrepreneurs towards the relationship between art and business. We explore different organizational and industry-level challenges experienced by creative entrepreneurs and uncover the organizational practices they adopt to deal with the identified challenges. The research contributes to the phenomenon of creative entrepreneurship by introducing the practice perspective, to the literature on paradox and contradiction by exploring the micro-foundations of tensions and paradox responses in high-intensity situations and to practice-based studies by investigating a domain-specific practice theory and highlighting the agency of creative entrepreneurs in adapting practices necessary to deal with conflicting demands of creative entrepreneurship.     

Measuring Project Management Performance: Case of Construction Industry

This study develops construction-specific determinants and indicators of project management performance based on the 14 knowledge areas of the project management body of knowledge guide. Interrelations among the knowledge areas and influence of these factors on performance are investigated. Data collected from 121 construction projects are analyzed using structural equation modeling. Research findings suggest that project integration, communications, safety, risk, human resources, financial, and cost management have a direct impact, whereas scope and time management have an indirect effect on performance. The findings reported in this study are expected to help construction project managers devise and implement strategies and develop actions to improve project success. An engineering manager can use the framework developed in this research to define the underlying factors of efficient project management practices.
