The Five Design Educational Modules on Sinology and Their Significance and Construction

摘要

Given the impact that nationality and locality have on the essential elements of design, it is a demanding task for Chinese design education to develop new modules on design with Chinese style. In this paper, the five design educational modules on sinology, i.e. "the art of Li", "the art of ink painting", "the art of poetry", "the art of war" and "the art of Zen", is proposed as a set of flexible curriculum framework that can be applied to modern design and contributes to the design-oriented quality education.
