Title: RELATION BETWEEN ART, DESIGN AND CRAFT: THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING ARTISTIC TECHNIQUES TEXTILE IN THE FORMATION OF FUTURE FASHION DESIGNERS
Author(s): Cornelia Brustureanu
Affiliation(s): Professor PhD., “George Enescu” National University of Arts, Iaşi, România
Abstract: This study started from the idea that knowledge of visual elements and aesthetics of textile arts, understanding contemporary textile techniques, is a form of reflective learning in which the practice (for example: physical actions in the fabric of the technique, touching and feeling the materials) can lead to the deepening of the creative process, contributing to the creation of an aesthetic that is not only visual, but also deeply material and even technical. This way of integrating the knowledge and values of art into fashion design in an experimental and reflexive manner can be a creative factor, therefore the analysis focused both on the idea of how fashion can be transformed through different ways of making textiles and on understanding the importance of knowing them.

Abstract: The distinction between different forms of research is a subject of interest for a large part of theoreticians, philosophers, professors in universities, but also for contemporary artists. The current text proposes an alternative approach to artistic research, resulting from working with technology, associated with pictorial practice. The image, understood as the main resource of the visual medium, became in the case of the present research, a tool of analysis for the 3A application, a software developed (in the academic research context of the National University of the Arts in Bucharest) to issue, structure and elaborate a series of objective technical parameters in image classification. The present paper describes a way of assimilating the results of the research carried out in an academic context in artistic practice, the works produces being the consequence of the experience of working with the 3A application software and the way in which the technology had an impact on the personal artistic discourse.

Title: PARADIGMS OF RESEARCH IN HYBRID ARTISTIC PRACTICES
Author(s): Sarah Muscalu
Affiliation(s): Assistant PhD., “George Enescu” National University of Arts, Iaşi, România
Abstract: The context in which artistic practices are developed today requires a constant preoccupation with the challenges and commitments of artistic research, an intrinsic condition of these endeavors. Artistic research supports many points of coincidence, interaction, or overlap with the principles of scientific research, although they are characterized by a series of specific parameters. Due to the particularities of artistic research, art that questions topics of global interest (as happens in the case of sustainability, ecology or technology) is the art of our time, and the communication of these positions presupposes the development of ideas through research. The present text establishes a series of parameters related to engagement in artistic research, approached through the prism of representative contemporary artistic practices.

Title: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CONTEMPORARY VISUALITY
Author(s): Cătălin Soreanu
Affiliation(s): Associate Professor PhD., „George Enescu” National University of Arts, Iaşi, România
Abstract: The new discourses in the contemporary art space and in the art education field regarding artificial intelligence are a consequence of a major mutation in the paradigm of contemporary art. Starting from the visual forms generated by artificial intelligence as a creative-technological instance, the current research aims to discuss the reconsideration of the human contribution in the authorial legitimation of art. The author, the lecturer, the systemic process of communication specific to art, all other instances and relationships submit to the effort to incorporate a tool of knowledge that goes beyond the traditional functionality of a passive resource, migrating to forms of active autonomy. We are witnessing the revolutionizing of the dialogue between creative technologies and the world of art, in which active instances systematically reinvent themselves, eluding the specific quantification of information technologies specific to the artistic field.

Title: THE SYMBOLIC AND PSYCHOSEMANTIC POLYVALENCE OF COLORS
Author(s): Stela Cojocaru
Affiliation(s): Candidate Doctoral, Free International University, Chișinău, Republic of Moldavia
Abstract: Color and shape, being inseparable, are the essential elements of human optical perception. In painting, color is the main tool of expression and the most significant element. The meaning of colors depends on a complex of physiological, psychological and cultural-social factors. Psychologists see color not as a simple sensation, but as a complex and multilateral perception, inextricably linked to socio-cultural and aesthetic aspects. The phenomenon of color has been studied by many artists, painters, researchers, psychologists, philosophers, physicists, who over time, through various researches regarding the influence of colors on the human psyche, have come to the conclusion that color exists both in the external, objective world of reality, as well as in the inner, subjective world of human, generating multiple emotional, psychological and intimate effects in the human personality.

Abstract: A resilient economy is a strong base for large volume of trade as it provides a perfect solution to poverty. Synthesis of Yoruba textiles and modern technology for resilient economy in this turbulent era is the concern of this paper. It highlights how Yoruba indigenous textiles are face lifted by modern technology to eradicate economic downturn. The paper gives insight to improvement on the production of Yoruba textiles therefore giving opportunity of job creation and self-reliance through the fusion. The huge tragedy of the Nigerian experience hinges on the downturn of economy which is at its peak of crashing. Most Nigerian are not believing that indigenous textile contents can increase drastically the income of the nation if facelifted or rebranded. The high rate at which naira is depreciating is very alarming at present ($1USD = N 1440) being because of fluctuation now. The paper projects a way out of economic turbulence with the synthesis of Yoruba textiles and modern technology by building a resilient economy. The paper further discusses the new orientation and training involved; raw materials used, computer knowledge, recommendations, and conclusion.

Title: EVER REVOLVING MODERN NIGERIAN FASHION
Author(s): Lovina Ebele Onwuakpa, Kennette Dikens Nwabuoku
Affiliation(s): Assistant, Assistant, University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria
Abstract: Fashion revolves in circle, reflecting historical, cultural, political, economical and social life of a nation as noted by Ogunduyile. It hence, satisfies the apparel accessory wants and needs of the people at a given period of time, thereby reflecting man’s environment, and stands as a means of non-verbal communication in revealing the culture and history of a people. Thus, it is innovative and reflects popular values of the society and changes when such values change. However, Nigeria as a country is not an exception to this norm. Although, desirable and inevitable the Nigeria modern fashion may be, the pace and degree of changes in contemporary Nigeria fashion necessitated by the influx of foreign cultures has continued to put traditional Nigerian hand-woven fabrics such as Akwa-Ocha, Aso-Oke, and Akwete among others in an adverse situation since designers use less of these fabrics for modern dress styles. The paper discusses Modern Nigerian Fashion as it has kept revolving and changing since the 1960s till date.

Title: WOMEN AND THEIR ROLE IN HISTORY – The impact of women in the progress of society
Author(s): Marinela Rusu
Affiliation(s): Senior Researcher II PhD. and Visual Artist, Romanian Academy, Institute ”Gheorghe Zane” from Iași Branch, România
Abstract: The past eras of history were not, most of the times, permissive with the activity and manifestation of women within the society. For various reasons, women were neither helped nor encouraged to participate in large-scale social actions, they did not have access to ancient sports competitions, they were denied education to become painters, writers, philosophers or leaders. Despite all these impediments that intervened in history, women manifested themselves in society with a lot of power, either in literature (Sapho), philosophy (Hypathia) but also in state leadership (as pharaohs, in ancient Egypt). The present work brings to attention the names of great female personalities from ancient but also from recent history, women endowed with exceptional intelligence and character, who contributed to social progress and, above all, demonstrated that women can play an important role, which cannot be ignored in the history of humanity.

Title: TACKLING GENDER STEREOTYPES: FANNY MENDELSSOHN’S WAY TO RECOGNITION AND SUCCESS
Author(s): Rossella Marisi
Affiliation(s): Professor PhD., Conservatorio “Luisa D’Annunzio”, Pescara, Italy
Abstract: Patriarchal societies often obstruct girls’ and women’s access to education and career paths: this happened also in nineteenth century Germany, above all with members of middle-class families. Yet thanks to her determination and perseverance Fanny Mendelssohn overcame these obstacles and reached her professional objectives as a performer, conductor, composer, and organizer of musical events. Moreover, she published her works under her name (a goal rarely met by women in the same condition), obtaining wide recognition and success. For these reasons, Fanny Mendelssohn can be considered a model for all women striving for developing their talents.

Title: BRAIN AND CREATIVITY
Author(s): Felicia Ceaușu
Affiliation(s): Researcher III PhD., Romanian Academy, Institute ”Gheorghe Zane” from Iași Branch, România
Abstract: Great ideas seem to come out of nowhere. Now we are one step closer to understanding how they appear. The areas responsible for language and creativity are thought to compete in the brain, which may explain why some people with brain damage suddenly become artists. Originality - or the ability to think of new ideas that do not occur to many people - is the key aspect of creativity. Researchers are trying to determine the mechanism by which originality is established. While creativity is generated by the right hemisphere of the brain, it is suppressed by language-specific processes in the left hemisphere: “Language regions may compete with the right hemisphere's ability to produce creative ideas.” This would explain why when areas responsible for language processing are affected, originality appears to increase. A brilliant idea is not enough to qualify a person as creative. Creativity is among the human characteristics whose mysteries we are still trying to understand. It seems almost impossible to find a clear definition for it, and it is equally difficult to look for its origins in the human brain. Many researchers define creativity as a special performance that is both new and appropriate. If we look at creativity as a concept rather than a trait, a number of factors must be considered. For example, an ingenious idea must be realized in such a way that it is visible and useful to others. Only a person who succeeds in this can truly be called creative.
Creativity is a complex process that requires the activation of several areas of the brain. So far it is not clear whether creativity requires a specific neural architecture or not. At the root of all thoughts, emotions and behaviors is communication between neurons. Brain waves are the products of synchronized electrical impulses resulting from the communication of masses of neurons. The speed of brain waves is measured in Hz and are divided into categories that delineate slow, moderate and fast waves. They change according to activities or feelings. The electroencephalograph measures brain waves of different frequencies in the brain by using sensors placed on the scalp, the frequency representing the recurrence of a wave in one second. If any of these frequencies are deficient, excessive or difficult to access, psychic performance can suffer. Learning about brain waves and brain wave frequencies is key to understanding how to navigate and reprogram the mind, and to access deeper levels of consciousness. In neuroscience, there are five distinct brainwave frequencies, namely Beta waves, Alpha waves, Theta waves, Delta waves, and Gamma waves. Each frequency has its own set of characteristics representing a specific level of brain activity and a corresponding unique state of consciousness.

Abstract: If one asks any student on their way to school in the morning: “Which way are you going?” It is easy to deduce that the answer to the question that seems trivial at the first glance, will be: “I am on my way to school to learn”. It indicates that from the very start the student is liable to learn independently by putting an effort to participate in the learning process. The student is eager to know everything multiplying physical and intelectual resorses day by day facing all the difficulties that occur in order to achieve the set goals. A school represents for a child a specific social environment where the kid interacts with the peers, the teachers and study new disciplines. The child has various questions to which he expects to gain the cryptic answers. Obtaining the expected answers multiplies his urge to know, to discover unknown phenomena. Taking on the role of a student with responsibilities differs from pre-school years. Nevertheless, the kid remains a child during the elementary school period and role playing, alongside learning, is a dominant activity. Combining these two phenomena - learning and playing - in the elementary school is the main field of study of pedagogical harmony.

Abstract: Cognitive deterioration and gait balance disturbances are the core symptoms of idiopathic normal pressure patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus – NHP (J. Larson et al, 2021). The manifestations caused by NPH directly foul the patient’s autonomy. Rehabilitation in NPH and supervised physical exercise are important factors to improve patient’s functions (J. Rydja et al, 2021). Music therapy and background music have cognitive, psychosocial, behavioural, and motor benefits for people with neurological disorders. Various forms and genres of music can be engaging, emotional, physical, personal, social, persuasive, and music also promotes synchronization of movement (O. Brancatisano et al., 2020). The process of music therapy intervention was structured and designed according to American Music Therapy Association (2005) in a 3-step process of preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Background music and instrumental and movement music activities were aimed at relaxation and cognitive stimulation in a patient with NPH during physiotherapy. In instrumental activities three music instruments were used, two Orff instruments a tambourine, a rattle, and a plastic string resembling an accordion (made from recycled material) – to improve the range of movements, strength, endurance, and coordination of the upper limb bilaterally and to improve walking motor skills.
Furthermore, we selected background music according to the patient’s taste and choice. The music genres in our sessions were electronic music, pop, and relaxing jazz: The music styles were Synth-pop, Ambient, Disco, Eurodance, Dance-pop and Relaxing jazz. A total of 5 music therapy sessions were held within two months. Each session lasted for 60 min. We observed the following changes in the patient: The mechanism of regulation of fine motor movements was affected in his upper arm bilaterally, and communication skills were also improved. The gross motor skills in upper arm improved bilaterally. The walking speed was more pronounced, and his submaximal performance distance was extended. During background music the patient myofascially relaxed – the spasticity began to subside, and music induced psychological and physical well-being on his emotional level.

Abstract: The topics addressed in this article stem from the interdisciplinary research project “Neuroscience, Creativity – Neural Connections in Artistic Creation,” initiated by the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research in Art at the “George Enescu” National University of Arts in Iași. These topics have been discussed by experts in the medical and artistic fields during a conference organized in collaboration with “Grigore T. Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Iași and the “I. I. Mironescu” Cultural Center. We aim for an interdisciplinary approach, which we consider relevant and of interest, focusing on understanding how the brain functions and the intricate neural networks engaged during the creative process, seen as the key to developing and enhancing creativity. Additionally, within the complex scope of this research theme, we will highlight several beneficial effects of art on individual and collective health. Art serves as an alternative energy source for the brain, stimulating connections between mental and physical processes.

Title: WHAT IS THE TEACHER'S PROFILE IN SUCCESSFULLY PREVENTING BULLYING? A PICTURE OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES
Author(s): Tudorița Grădinariu, Constantin Cucoș
Affiliation(s): Assistant PhD., Professor PhD. hab., ”Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University, Iași, România
Abstract: The increasing frequency of bullying incidents is an imperative that is on the focus of the education policy makers in Romania. During the last four years, the education legislation has undergone a number of substantial changes and updates placing a strong emphasis on bullying prevention. While we have the legislative framework that defines the role of teachers in preventing and intervening in bullying incidents, it is significant to know what professional skills are needed in doing so. The aim of this research is to provide a profile of the effective teacher in bullying prevention from the standpoint of professional competences. We believe this to be important for the development of effective prevention policies. The objectives of this study are theoretical, namely: to analyze the normative framework referring to the teacher's role in bullying prevention; to examine the national legislation in the field of preventing and combating bullying; to review the literature in order to identify the professional competences involved in successfully preventing bullying.

Title: THE ART-LANGUAGE TECHNIQUE. DESCRIPTION, PARTICULARITIES, FORMATIVE VALUES, APPLICATIONS
Author(s): Emanuela Ilie, Adina Petronela Vechiu
Affiliation(s): Associate Professor PhD., Assistant Candidate Doctoral, ”Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University, Iași, România
Abstract: Given the increasing interest of students of all ages towards digital texts, but also the prevalence of the visual over other forms of language, the use of images in the teaching of any type of content should be a priority of the didactic act – or at least a common didactic practice. Most frequently, however, teaching staff limit this priority to the use in well-defined contexts of certain visual teaching tools, be they digital/ technological or in the form of graphic and figurative materials. Without questioning their effectiveness, we promote their combination with last generation didactic techniques, which could profit from the children' s interest in the visual or hybrid spectacular (Ilie 2020: 159), in ways that stimulate, and even prioritize, the development of their aesthetic and cultural sensibility.
In this article, we propose to describe one of these techniques, the art-language technique, and then to exemplify various modalities of using it, especially in the primary education. By assuming the reasoned association of a theme or a message of a literary/non-literary text with an artwork chosen from a series made available by the teachers (Ilie, 2020: 160), the art-language technique can be used in a variety of curricular, but also extra-curricular contexts, that could facilitate children's access to a wide range of contents from the school curricula specific to primary education.
The applications presented in this work will take into account the areas of Language and Communication, Man and Society, Arts and Technologies, as well as Personal Development. Of course, the formative valences adjacent to the use of this technique derive from the inter- and pluri-disciplinary character it implies, giving students the opportunity to creatively express emotions and thoughts in a variety of situations. With the help of the teaching staff, the visual art works could be transformed, on one hand, into anchors that can facilitate the adequate assimilation of aesthetic and cultural contents; on the other hand, they could become excellent vehicles of supplementary meanings, resulted from the subjective experience of the student, placed in the posture of a sensible, but also critical observer, who sees beyond color and form.

Abstract: Involved in the process of formation of the personality and of the self-formation, aesthetic education aims at the development of the ability to correctly perceive and understand the beauty in the real life, the formation of aesthetic consciousness, aesthetic taste and sense, the need and possibility to participate in the creation of beauty in art and in life. Through the aesthetic education, we aim to prepare pupils for the act of valorization-reception-assimilation and the act of creating aesthetic values. The article presents ways and strategies to contribute to the development of the competence of self-instruction of pupils, in terms of education for beauty, so that they become efficient and autonomous in daily school activities, assume responsibilities, develop skills inside and outside the classroom. The conclusion of this article is that by encouraging pupils to be independent and responsible in their learning, they will become adults with motivation for lifelong learning.

Abstract: Using recycled materials to create beautiful artworks has become a bulging trend especially in modern times. Many Nigerian artists now rely on this medium to create award winning art works that also provide them regular income in the process. This paper focuses on the meaning of recycling and analysis of its relevance to modern art. It emphasizes the degree of value its usage has added to the enhancement and acceptance of indigenous art works in Nigeria. In addition, it enables the researcher to enumerate the economic benefits of adopting recycled materials for the creation of artworks by the indigenous artists, government, and the society in general. It further suggests ways of improving on its usage. Finally, the paper suggests ways of ameliorating government’s efforts in making waste recycling business more lucrative especially to artists who use them as their medium of creation.

Abstract: The 26 letters of the English alphabet are undoubtedly, within the scope of the most recognizable forms globally even some of the non-English speaking communities. The English alphabet has been subjected to varied elements from speaking to writing. The words used in most local parlances are formulated and written by means of the letters of the English alphabet. However, this English alphabet from the design perspective, as this paper intends to unravel, there is so much to be extracted from the letters of the English alphabet, which has not been addressed. Digital applications were used to harness the abstracted design concepts that emanated from this study. Finally, the recurrent issues of concept generation will be given a significant boost as intrinsic findings from this study show that the methodical exploitation of the letters of the English alphabet can be used to generate infinite thematic genre of abstracted art or flourishes worthy of a variety of elucidations.
