Abstract

The article firstly examines the techniques of miniature art, and attempts to identify those which can serve as an inspiration for artistic aspects of today’s information design in the electronic environment. It also brings forward the idea whether miniature art could be used in our existing new media education models and finally answers the research question: does student really learn something from ‘technology practice’ in the design work using both minimalistic approach of miniature art and interactive media as high-end representation technique? We believe that the answers to above research question will help especially technology educator involved with design, to think what they need to improve students? creativity in parallel with teaching the use of software tools and programming.
