Features: Design and Art Theory is an emerging discipline with a strong development trend in China. Currently, hundreds of universities across the country have been approved by the Ministry of Education to add design and art programs. However, many schools lack appropriate textbooks and are unable to offer courses on the history and theory of design and art. To address this situation, Professor Ling Jiyou, Director of the Modern Design and Art Research Center at Southeast University and Doctoral Supervisor, along with Professor Xu Hengchun, Chairman of the Technical Aesthetics Branch of the National Art and Craft Design Society, wrote this book. The book consists of 10 chapters, systematically elaborating on the generation and historical development of design and art, providing detailed introductions to the relevant theories of design and art, as well as various schools, figures, and activities. It offers profound insights into issues such as the formal composition, functional positioning, aesthetic creation, and market development of design and art. The book is well-structured, rich in data, and appropriately formatted, making it an ideal textbook for design and art majors in higher education and a valuable reference for design and art professionals.
