Features: This is a series of books for teaching design in art academies. The contributors are all key and backbone figures in art academy design education, who not only have rich teaching experience and a rigorous academic attitude but, more importantly, possess a strong sense of mission and responsibility. Before writing, Chongqing University of Technology Press organized multiple discussions to reach a consensus, forming the following characteristics of this series: Based on the development trends of art and design education in the 21st century, employment trends, and curriculum design, the overall structure of this series of textbooks was determined. Building on the analysis of currently more mature reference materials and textbooks, strengths were highlighted while weaknesses were avoided, with the core focus on the fundamental knowledge and skills that must be mastered in undergraduate education for each course. At the same time, considering the characteristics of art education, space is left for teachers to teach according to their practical experience and theoretical inclinations. As textbooks for art and design majors, attention was paid to the transition from fine arts to design, highlighting the features of art and design education. Attention was also paid to the teacher-student relationship in the textbooks, reflecting both the teaching characteristics and learning elements.
