Abstract

Modern age children who was born as 'Bone Digital' has a lot of problems from lack of concentration, impulsive behavior, and lack of social participation stemming from too many products of civilization such as computers, cell phones, Internet, and game consoles. In the orient, mental training during childhood is aimed at these children by clearing their mind and body, and enhancing their sense of order, independence, and concentration through the sense of sight and touch. From this perspective, this work is a 'digilog' with an addition of digital elements to the oriental cymbidium. This is an interesting interactive concept of play learning forming a visual expression of an ink-and-wash painting oriental cymbidium from the touch of the tip of one's fingers as brushing off dust from a cymbidium leaf. Because various cymbidium leaves are drawn on the screen according to the speed when brushing down the cymbidium leaves and the data of the angle of a break, this is a well-being design for naturally learning culture in an attitude as if directly drawing a cymbidium using brushes.
