Features: This book, considering the current state of design art education in China, focuses on art while also encompassing knowledge from related disciplines. This approach aims to clarify the cultivation objectives and the future job tasks students can undertake. Particularly for interdisciplinary fields with strong functional characteristics, such as industrial product design and environmental art design, the book provides more comprehensive overviews of the research and issues that design art seeks to address. Here, it aims to construct a basic theoretical framework for the discipline of design art, primarily referencing the classification methods of art disciplines, which are structured into three major categories: history, theory, and criticism. Of course, as an important component of the humanities, art studies do not refer to artistic practice or specific activities but rather to art science, which is the theoretical principles. The difference lies in that design art is a highly practical and comprehensive applied discipline closely linked to industry, requiring continuous knowledge updates and theoretical innovation along with the development of science, technology, society, and the economy. For this reason, the book also provides detailed overviews of applied theories such as design thinking and design methodology. In summary, the writing process is also one of organizing and learning about this discipline. As the practice and theoretical understanding of design art continue to deepen, it is expected that this work will become even more effective.
