Welcome to the Five Animals Design Gallery. Chinese martial arts
were developed by first observing and then imitating the
characteristics of certain animals that demonstrated extraordinary
skill in fighting and defense. Although design is not a martial art,
we can also learn from these animals.
From these five animals we can learn the following skills:
- Tiger – How to design with power
and tenacity
- Crane – How to develop balance
and self-control
- Dragon – How to ride the wind
and create visual fluidity
- Praying Mantis – How
to develop technique based on patience and speed
- Snake – How to harness grace and
rhythmic endurance
