Reciprocal Feedbacks between Education on Jewelry Design and Cultural Self-consciousness

摘要

Cultural self-consciousness reflects people's judgment, pursuit and selection of value in cultures of their own and others. In Chinese universities, arts and ethics are integrated to a great extent in their education on jewelry design. Cultural self-consciousness enriches connotations of design education and jewelry education is important for development of cultural self-consciousness. Both of them are interdependent and develop through reciprocal feedbacks. This paper intends to trace the definition of "cultural self-consciousness". Apart from the connections between jewelry design and cultural self-consciousness, it also discusses specific ways for developing cultural consciousness in education on jewelry design.
