Features: With the gradual deepening of China's reform and opening-up and the rapid development of the economy, the demand for design has been continuously growing. Art and design academies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain across the country. How design education can adapt to social development, how to establish a perfect design teaching system, how to highlight its own distinctive features, how to improve discipline construction, and how to enhance teaching quality have become key concerns. Textbooks are the key to these priorities. This is a series of books aimed at design education in art academies. The contributors are all key figures and backbone teachers in design education at art academies. They not only possess rich teaching experience and a rigorous academic attitude but, more importantly, have a strong sense of mission and responsibility. Before writing, Chongqing University Press organized multiple discussions, leading to a consensus and forming the following characteristics of this series: Based on the development trends of 21st-century art and design education, employment trends, and curriculum design, the overall structure of this series of textbooks has been determined. Building on the analysis of currently mature reference materials and textbooks, we have leveraged strengths while addressing weaknesses, focusing on the essential knowledge and skills that undergraduate students in design must master. At the same time, considering the characteristics of art education, we have provided teachers with space to teach according to their practical experience and theoretical inclinations. As textbooks for art and design majors, we have paid attention to the transition from fine arts to design, highlighting the distinctive features of art and design. We have also focused on the teacher-student relationship, reflecting both the teaching aspects and the learning elements. We have avoided excessive use of examples, using only those that visually illustrate and demonstrate knowledge and skills. Design should be part of the national innovation system, and design will play new and more important roles in the development of all industries. With economic globalization, our design must create new knowledge fields and skills to adapt to the increasingly fierce and competitive environment. As an art and design education that belongs to the humanities, it needs to continuously evaluate teaching objectives and adjust development directions. The writing of textbooks should explore the modernity of art and design, reflect its contemporary characteristics, and explore the future trends of its development. This textbook has made efforts to explore these aspects to varying degrees. We know that the continuous "improvement" of textbooks will be an eternal topic.
