Features: The higher education self-study examination program for the art and craft major, established in 1993, is a significant measure to meet social needs and cultivate applied professional talents in the field of art and design. It is also an important component of the multi-channel development of higher art and design education. This examination format, which combines national exams, social tutoring, and personal self-study, has gained widespread popularity and has, to some extent, promoted and advanced the development of art and craft design. From the perspective of China's social needs, the Beijing Higher Education Self-Study Examination Committee has adjusted the self-study examination programs, establishing more scientifically and rationally defined objectives and specifications for professional training. Based on appropriately enriching and updating the existing knowledge structure, the program has emphasized the cultivation of professional qualities, increased the proportion of foundational, basic, and professional courses, and highlighted the testing of professional skills. This has made the program more aligned with social demands and more contemporary, reflecting the standards and requirements for cultivating and selecting new-generation professionals.
To adapt to this trend, the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University organized a team of experts and professors to compile professional textbooks for the higher education self-study examination programs in Fashion Design, Interior Design, and Visual Communication Design. The entire set of textbooks consists of 23 volumes, characterized by rich content, extensive information, strong professional skills, and broad coverage of knowledge. While adhering to the principles of higher art and design education, the textbooks clearly define the professional knowledge and skills standards that students must master. In accordance with the basic norms of higher education self-study examination programs, the textbooks also specify the depth and proficiency required for students to acquire art and design professional knowledge, as well as the quantitative standards for assignments and comprehensive evaluation criteria for each course. During the compilation process, the textbooks also strive to exhibit distinct scientific and contemporary features, ensuring detailed and readable content that highlights professional characteristics and career-oriented qualities. It is hoped that this set of textbooks will help numerous students comprehensively master and understand the principles and methods of art and design, improving their professional competence. As self-study examination textbooks, they will also play an important role in guiding and refining tutoring support systems, as well as adjusting and standardizing private teaching systems. Additionally, this set of textbooks is suitable for use in higher and secondary art schools as textbooks for art and design programs.
This book is one of the designated textbooks for the higher education self-study examination program (Art and Design Major) titled "Pattern Making and Adjustment Techniques in Fashion Design." It comprehensively and systematically elaborates on the fundamental concepts, principles, and techniques of pattern making and adjustment in fashion design. The book is supplemented with numerous color illustrations for reference.
