Creating Artistic Formulations inspired by the Asir Cat to Enrich Sustainable Designs for Artistic Handicrafts using Computer Programs

Abstract

Folk decoration is one of the oldest visual arts known to man. Man has excelled in producing it, driven by his instincts and innate desire to express through it the extent of his interaction with the environment around him, and his feelings about all the natural phenomena that surround him. Artworks are one of the finest forms of creative expression, combining craftsmanship with aesthetic composition, making them an effective medium for conveying cultural and aesthetic values.

    Sustainability has become a key focus in the production of artworks, as artists turn to environmentally friendly techniques. Thanks to these developments, artworks are no longer merely aesthetic accessories, but rather a means of expression that reflects contemporary issues.

 The research aims to :

1. Create artistic formulations inspired by the Asir cat to enrich sustainable designs for artwork using computer programs.
2. Determine the degree of acceptance by specialists of sustainable mural designs inspired by the Asir cat using Adobe Illustrator.

The research found :

1. There were statistically significant differences between the six designs in achieving "the aesthetic aspect, the functional aspect, and the innovative aspect," according to the opinions of specialists.
2. There were statistically significant differences between the six designs according to consumer opinions.

The research recommended :

1. Holding workshops and training courses for graduates to teach them how to employ computer programs in artistic design in a manner that keeps pace with modern, sustainable trends.
2. Encouraging designers to integrate traditional motifs into the design of artistic artifacts in modern ways to preserve cultural identity and enhance the value of artistic products in local and global markets.
