Abstract

This paper explores integrating micro materials into Chinese line drawing to enhance decorative qualities and address modern challenges like cultural disinterest and material degradation. Using a mixed-methods with data from 613 respondents and 20 professionals, the paper identifies key decorative elements and assesses micro materials' impact on design and conservation. Findings show that understanding micro materials and artistic preferences significantly influences integration challenges and success perceptions. While micro materials offer creative and conservation benefits, their adoption must balance innovation with tradition. Recommendations include artist experimentation, respect for cultural authenticity, and institutional support.
