Design Practice of Zibo Glass Art Works Based on Chinese Traditional Art and Contemporary Design

Background and Aim: Zibo City, Shandong Province, China, is one of the birthplaces of Chinese glass art. Zibo has a long glass history and a unique glass art production process. However, with the rapid development of contemporary glass art, the innovative ability of Zibo glass art has weakened, and the public's attention to it has gradually decreased. Therefore, this study aims to study the concept of Chinese traditional art and contemporary craft, design, and innovative Zibo contemporary glass artworks; to study the innovative design works of Zibo contemporary glass art and evaluate their role in the development of Zibo glass art. Materials and Methods: The study adopts a mixed research method, combining qualitative research with quantitative research. First of all, through historical documents and field investigation, the image characteristics and profound cultural connotation of Zibo traditional glass art are studied. Subsequently, this study further explores the application of traditional glass technology in contemporary art creation, combining expert interviews and questionnaire surveys, using thematic analysis and descriptive analysis to deeply analyze the interaction between traditional technology and modern art, especially in exploring the integration of design innovation, technological experimentation, and visual aesthetics. Results: Researchers actively practice in artistic forms, cultural connotations, and technological innovation, combining traditional culture with contemporary social backgrounds to showcase rich achievements in the collision of artistry and craftsmanship. Give Zibo glass art a new direction of innovation. Conclusion: The two groups of works not only continue the cultural connotation of Zibo's traditional glass art but also make innovative breakthroughs in form, color, and technology, demonstrating the vitality and rebirth of traditional art in the contemporary social context. This provides strong theoretical support and practical reference for the innovative development of Zibo glass art in the future and helps to promote the integration and innovation of traditional art and contemporary design in the context of globalization.
