Abstract

Focused on the stance of culture in global perspective, this paper aimed to develop awareness in contemporary society. Young generations nowadays immerse on technology and are mostly influenced by social media, they become the victims of globalization. This issue has been reflected in many aspects, including art and design. As educators, researchers try to find a method and solution to build understanding about the importance of cultural identity. THROUGH workshop offered a new mindset that could be a sample and study case to create mutual understanding between art, design, and culture, and how to present these aspects globally. Students could learn about Chinese cultural contexts and try to relate it with global issues through their artwork. Students focused on Chinese military rank badges as their main topic. They did their research based on colours, symbols, and shapes. The final outcome was splendid not only from its visual aspects but also from its cultural contexts. This artwork managed to represent Chinese identity in contemporary perspective that can be present in global communities. Thus, this workshop acts as an experimental project that can encourage young generation to explore more about their identity and implement their knowledge in global perspective through their artwork.
