The involvement of Peking Opera culture in Scrap Art: Stimulating public awareness of environmental protection and cultural inheritance

Abstract

The research explores the involvement of Peking Opera culture in the art of waste materials to enhance the public's awareness of environmental protection and cultural heritage. Given the current situation of the gradual decline in the perception of Peking Opera's cultural heritage and the need to raise the public's awareness of environmental protection, this research proposition was chosen.

Objective 1 is to deepen the public's awareness of the value of environmental protection and traditional cultural integration through workshops, Objective 2 is to complete the process of creating works of art with Peking Opera culture intervening in the art of waste materials, and Objective 3 is to evaluate the impact of the creative process and the results of the research on the public's awareness of environmental protection and cultural heritage attitudes and actions in exhibitions and community activities.

The research process was completed by establishing a theoretical foundation for the pilot study. Hierarchical analysis of hierarchy (AHP) was conducted to analyze the weights of non-heritage cultures, a panel of experts was formed to score the data, and data was analyzed to determine the weights and priorities of Peking Opera culture. The theme of exploring Peking Opera elements' fusion with waste materials' artistic expression was established through preliminary workshop experiments. The creative practice was then carried out, including a review of the creative process, exhibitions, and community engagement, documentation and publicity, reflection and evaluation, determining the theoretical framework model for the final research hypothesis, completing the final questionnaire, analyzing the collected data, and validating the results.

The research results indicate that the research process of Peking Opera culture intervening in the art of waste materials effectively fosters the public's awareness of environmental protection and the perception of Peking Opera's cultural heritage. This research process establishes more channels and ways for the revitalization of traditional art forms and the enhancement of the public's awareness of environmental protection, and, at the same time, provides essential references for the governmental departments to protect the non-heritage culture and carry out environmental protection activities.
