Traditional design considers the function of the product.

We know that "art" itself changes with the evolution of ideology and social science and technology in different times, and constantly uses "artists" to interpret and show the creativity of different art types, themes and media. Z0dH

Art and design have been an inseparable contradiction since they came into being. Art emphasizes the embodiment of individuality, while design lies in the public. The concept of design comes from life and works serve the public. Compared with previous designs, modern design has undergone earth-shaking development and changes in artistry and practicality. Different from the development of other works of art, the development of design is not only related to people's philosophical concepts, but also develops with the development of science and technology. /r*$W

Today, great changes have taken place in painting and other art forms. Many techniques and effects displayed in "traditional art" works have been broken and innovated by computer technology and successfully presented on the "computer canvas" of "digital artists". Today, we have begun a page-by-page history of artistic development, from the shapes of human life outlined on the rock walls of ancient grottoes to the shapes of images drawn by people using computers today, all of which also show various "visual arts". If there is really only one "artist" in the world without art, and an "artist" conveys his aesthetic, emotional and ideological connotation to a singer who has the same experience as * * * through artistic activities, it can be called "art", then, this artistic expression is the same as all new things .39999.99999999999991996.9999999996 But today, whether we accept this artistic innovation or not, it has penetrated into modern people's lives and will be the trend of future design development.

The development history of design is very long. Archaeological data prove that practical craft design is one of the oldest art types in human history. As early as the primitive society, human ancestors began to decorate themselves with animal skins, bones, ivory and feathers. In particular, a large number of painted pottery in the Neolithic Age still have high aesthetic value. For example, the sharp-bottomed bottle unearthed in Majiayao has continuous spiral patterns, giving people a sense of flowing rhythm. Sharp-bottomed bottles are not only beautiful, but also practical. It's so heavy above and so light below that it's easy to take water sideways. It can be seen that the ancestors of primitive society have unified practicality and aesthetics into the manufacture of practical handicrafts.

Obviously, any practical design should be practical first, for example, buildings should make people feel comfortable and convenient when living, and practical handicrafts should make people feel satisfied when using. The practicality of design should meet the needs of different human practical activities. For example, on the whole, the main function of a building is to shelter from the wind and rain and provide people with comfortable and convenient indoor space, but different building types have different uses and functions. Practicality and aesthetics are closely linked in design, but they should be based on practicality, and aesthetics should be subordinate to practicality and practicality. Such as ceramic tea sets, wine sets, bamboo baskets, baskets, etc. It should be convenient and applicable before it can be beautiful. Therefore, in the process of designing and making practical handicrafts, the use effect is often considered first, and artistic treatment and beautification are carried out according to practical characteristics. In this respect, some excellent handicrafts in ancient China are exemplary. For example, the "Changxin Palace Lantern" unearthed in Hebei is not only a novel and unique bronze handicraft, but also a convenient and applicable daily necessities. Design is also closely related to production technology, and materials have a direct restriction and influence on practical art. Building materials, from wood and Shi Zhuan to reinforced concrete, not only directly affect the design and construction of buildings, but also directly affect the changes of architectural aesthetics. Not only that, the practicality of design often needs to consider the economic problems such as material, time-consuming, processing and cost of the product, so as to save labor and materials as much as possible, reduce the cost, make it consume less and have higher use value.

At the same time, practical art should be aesthetic, that is, to meet people's aesthetic and spiritual needs. Because practical art can be seen everywhere in our daily life, it plays an aesthetic role almost every day, every hour and every moment, giving people a beautiful feeling, thus having both aesthetic functions under the premise of practicality and achieving the unity of material and spirit. For example, a large number of ancient architecture art and garden art in China, with their unique artistic charm, have become the essence of scenic spots, enabling people to appreciate not only the beauty of natural scenery, but also the beauty of traditional art, thus gaining rich historical and cultural knowledge. 8v iron

Therefore, in practical art, practicality and aesthetics should be organically unified. Practicality is the premise and foundation of aesthetics, and aesthetics can enhance practicality. Therefore, practicality and aesthetics promote each other, which are indispensable and inseparable. They constitute the most basic principles and characteristics of practical art. Especially with the continuous development of social productive forces and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, aesthetics plays an increasingly important role in practical art, and people's requirements for the beauty of practical art are more extensive and urgent than ever. For example, interior decoration has attracted more and more attention, from floor decoration and wall decoration to various lamps, dazzling bedding, and even wall hanging, calligraphy and painting, ornamental handicrafts and so on. , more and more popular, into thousands of households. With the development of society, this trend will be more obvious. up

The development of modern design in China is still very slow, and there is still a big gap between China's design and the design works of some big design countries. On the one hand, our country's science and technology is underdeveloped, on the other hand, there is still a huge gap in the philosophical accomplishment of China designers. O

The law of unity of opposites is the fundamental law and the essence and core of materialist dialectics. It reveals the source, motivation and essence of the development of things. The same law of unity of opposites also applies to the art field of modern design, which also reveals the trend of multimedia and digitalization of modern design. In recent years, the art of computer design in China has also made great progress, which is also a great progress in the understanding of the design community in China. It is said that the development of new things always takes some time. N:}Zvg

There is no pure art and no pure philosophy. Philosophy is always the essence of a certain era consciousness and a poem of life. It can be abstract and sublime, and it seems to be out of touch with the world. It is my own life, so it is always deeply related to the ethics, science and art of my own time. Philosophy always contains, contains or represents something in the mainstream of science in its own time, and it is the sublimation or abstraction of these things. Just as Descartes' philosophy and mathematics, Locke and psychology, Kant and Newton, Hegel and the concept of evolution in science at that time, and modern philosophy and linguistics are related, so is the philosophy of beauty. Just as the artistic form of modern design is inseparable from modern science and technology, it has formed the development direction of high technology. l-*$v8

Practical arts and crafts design is a very important aspect of modern design. As the name implies, practical arts and crafts should first consider practicality, and aesthetics should be reflected in practicality. Therefore, when designing and creating, we should consider and design around the requirements of actual use. From the aspects of material selection, external modeling, color decoration, etc., artistic treatment and processing are considered in combination with practical requirements. Even the special handicrafts designed as ornamental are no exception, because they also have practical purposes, that is, beautifying people's living environment, so we should consider adapting to the environment and meeting the needs of consumers in the design. Practical handicrafts should be applicable, economical and beautiful. It is to meet people's spiritual needs while meeting people's material needs. It has both practical and aesthetic functions. Especially with the development of society and the progress of science and technology, people put forward higher and higher requirements for material life and spiritual life. They not only hope that daily necessities are firm and applicable, but also hope that these items are exquisite and beautiful, and even put aesthetics in an increasingly important position. Therefore, the scope and field of future design are constantly expanding. Industrial design is the unity of technology and art, and strives to make all products meet the requirements of applicability, economy and aesthetics. Yv

Pure art and design are unified in the purpose they want to achieve Pure art shows the artist's life experience to art appreciators in some artistic form through the artist's artistic creation. Its only purpose is to give people spiritual beauty and let the audience feel the artist's voice. Design art is created by designers combining aesthetic factors with people's lifestyles and habits, bringing people products that combine practicality and aesthetics and bringing pleasure to users. However, the principle and working mode they use are opposite. The design mainly considers practical principles, followed by aesthetic factors. The so-called designed works can be beautiful, but they must be useful. Artists who study pure art can study aesthetic factors and personal style without considering the practicality of their works. The content it expresses can be abstract, but the design work must have concrete content. Every designer should understand the priority of practicality and aesthetics in his works and the purpose of his creation. (+L

After understanding the opposition and unity between art and design, we should learn to use this trait to serve our design creation and avoid making such mistakes in the design process. Without science and technology, pure art can still exist. The rock wall paintings found in ancient caves have great aesthetic value today, but if the ancient caves were designed as rooms, I don't think anyone in modern times would want to live in them. So we must distinguish between design and pure art, art is art, and design is design. We study design, and design will be our future career, so how to apply aesthetics to design works is a problem we need to solve now. lBm N;

Unity of opposites is the same feature of everything, and how to solve the contradiction of unity of opposites is the key to solve the problem. People engaged in art can become outstanding artists by solving the contradiction between art form and content; Designers can become great designers by solving the contradiction between practicality and aesthetics. Creating beauty in practice and beautifying people's lives by using all available technologies in modern and future will surely be the development trend of modern design. /

Art needs philosophy, and design needs philosophy more. An artist who doesn't understand philosophy is not a real artist, and a designer who doesn't understand philosophy is not a real designer. For those of us who study design, it is even more necessary to learn philosophy, beautify people's lives by using existing technology and become a real designer.
