The purpose of this paper is to explore the teaching methods for Basic Design, aiming at cultivating creative thinking for the design beginners. Based on the basic features of the mathematical thinking, this paper presented the new teaching methods - “abstract problem”, “accurate limitation” and “permutation and combination as well as comparison” in view of the characteristics of “selection”, “breakthrough” and “reconstruction” in the creative thinking of the modern design methodology. The paper also pointed out the relationship between logical thinking and intuitive thinking in applying the above methods and the scope that the above methods could be applied to the practice of teaching. In addition, the paper emphasized the final purpose of the above methods was to form a methodology for cultivating creative thinking instead of having a detailed method. The new teaching methods are useful for improving the quality of teaching for Basic Design, which aims at cultivating creative thinking for the design beginners, and enhance the creative thinking of the design beginners.
