This study found that clothing, combined with digital technology, can be a wearable computer that adapts to environmental change and increases biological limits, as well as an emotional space to which art and design are applied, and that promotes mutual communication. A user-friendly interface is proposed for those pursuing a new artistic experienc...

Psychological disorders issue among school students increasingly and draw the researchers' attention. However, more non-clinical approaches and interventions need to be developed to help students with psychological disorders get helped from teachers effectively. Art can be used as a medium of expression. An expression of emotions is one of the appropriate methods used, especially for school students. This study discusses teachers' role as significant individual in students' lives and how they can provide psychological support through the application of biomorphic abstract art (modern art).

Given the potentially significant environmental impacts of fashion design, various design approaches are required to extend product lifespan. Digital design methods may play an essential role in reducing the environmental impact of products and production processes. In addition, a design approach inspired by nature, where humans have long lived, is valid for sustainable design innovation. The purpose of this study is to examine the aesthetics of Koreans, who prefer nature, and to find a sustainable fashion design approach by using it as a knowledge database. In this study, a parametric design methodology that can reflect knowledge-based data in the process of producing 3D printing sustainable fashion products, considering the emotional durability of consumers, was used. The study results are as follows. From the aesthetic point of view of Korea, sustainable design characteristics represent unique Korean folk art, resilience to nature, and simplicity that resembles nature. The properties of the form represented to “forms resembling nature”, “changeable forms”, “organic forms”, and “minimal forms”. Materials were “nature inspired textures”, “rustic natural materials”, and “regional materials”. Colors were “the colors of nature” and “indigenous colors”. The parametric controls variables used for 3D printing the fashion products were size, assembly style, and sustainable material. These control parameters were used to create designs according to the individual taste of users. In the 3D printing fashion product design process, pieces were printed in different shapes and sizes by controlling the parameters to create designs according to users’ tastes and Korean aesthetics. It was determined that this process could extend the lifespan of products, and that it is possible to modify sustainable fashion products according to personal taste by adjusting numerical values and extracting visual images based on knowledge of art and culture.
