Current domestic teaching methods of design sketching are antiquated and unable to meet practical needs of students who require professional trainings. There are two biggest problems, maybe the most outstanding serious problems in design sketching course. Firstly, the content of this course cannot play a good transitional role in product design curriculum. It lacks application on knowledge of the former foundation courses such as charcoal drawing, graphic composition and three-dimensional constitutes. It's also short of sketching practices on design concept presentation which is more helpful in the latter core courses. Secondly, our students lack effective applicable training methods because of different basic fundamentals and various personalities. To the problems above it offers some new and practical helpful teaching methods and approaches.
