Description
Summary:A B S T R A C T This research investigates how digital technology is changing the way Chinese motifs are used in contemporary printmaking and its importance in enhancing cross-cultural understanding. Through analyzing existing literature, this study delves into the historical evolution of Chinese printmaking, the incorporation of traditional Chinese elements into modern practices, and the role of digital technology in transforming these artistic forms. It shows that combining digital innovations with Chinese artistic techniques not only increases public appreciation of Chinese culture and aesthetics but also fosters intercultural dialogue and understanding. Additionally, the study highlights the role of digital technology in creating new and innovative printmaking methods that merge traditional Chinese elements with modern techniques. However, the research is limited due to its dependence on secondary data and its narrow cultural scope, indicating the need for more comprehensive studies, especially regarding the role of art in intercultural communication and the influence of digital media in this area. This review makes a significant contribution to the ongoing discussion about the relationship between art, technology, and cultural exchange and highlights the evolving nature of printmaking in today's art scene. © 2024 The Authors.
