Research on Digital Construction of Animation Design Curriculum in Applied Universities: A Case Study of Female Mythology Design based on the “Tao, Vessel, Change and Comprehensiveness” Paradigm
This study focuses on the digitalization of the Animation Design course at applied universities, using the “Tao, Vessel, Change and Comprehensiveness” female myth design practice as an example to explore innovative pathways for animation design education in the era of AI. The study constructs an innovative teaching model for animation design courses based on the philosophical ideas of the I Ching. This model comprises four dimensions: ‘Tao’ represents the reconstruction of the course system using AI technology, ‘Vessel’ means the application of AI to assist in animation design teaching, ‘Change’ represents the establishment of a comprehensive feedback mechanism, and ‘Comprehensiveness’ represents the formation of an industry-academia collaboration mechanism for talent cultivation. Through case analysis, it is demonstrated that the application of this model in female mythological animation creation enhances students’ cultural confidence and innovative capabilities while promoting the digital transformation of design education. The study recommends enhancing the cultural adaptability of the curriculum, improving teachers’ digital application capabilities, strengthening students’ project-based learning experiences, constructing a diverse feedback evaluation system, and forming an effective learning feedback loop.
