Diversified Design Art to Life

The close relationship between design art and human life has been determined since the design art was born in its most primitive form. From the primitive human stone tools, pottery, to bronze wares, and later silverware, wood wares, and other artifacts, ancient and modern clothing, ancient and modern architecture, and design art have accompanied the entire history of mankind. Nowadays, as a practical art form, design art has covered all aspects of contemporary human life, permeating people’s clothing, food, shelter, and behavior, and constantly improving the quality of life of human beings. Therefore, it is claimed that design art is “the art of living. To transform art into life."

From real life, we can easily see that design and our lives are so close that we can hardly separate them. It can be said that small to a cup, a button, large furniture, housing, such as cars, planes, ships, etc., people enjoy the spiritual needs of the pursuit of aesthetic enjoyment. Therefore, design art has both practical and aesthetic duality, and its practical properties are its basic attributes.

The design art includes architectural design, environmental art design (indoor and outdoor landscape), graphic design, industrial product design, apparel design, and handicraft design. With the development of the times, design art has become an independent and complete art form. The high quality of material life brings people the desire for high quality spiritual life, which puts higher demands on design artists. Design is only rooted in the soil of life, it is even more vitality. The voice of designing humanity and populism is rising. However, in this commercial society that advocates artistic personalities and material desires, designers can easily lose their bearings, pursue personal styles extremely, and neglect service targets; unrealistically blindly pursue foreign ideas and concepts, and pursue external forms while neglecting Design features such as functional connotations abound. Recently, in the design art world, a discussion about the value orientation of contemporary Chinese design has been initiated. What is interesting is the title “Design for the People”. The article said: "Designing for a convenient, healthy and good life is a social conscience that designers should have and a realm that designers should pursue. Design should serve the people..." We have always been in our In our daily life, we are concerned with the design culture of our country. More or less of us will encounter some confusing problems. The tools are not good, the handles are not easy to use, the clothes cannot be worn, and the contents and contents of the articles are far from each other. Unreasonable and so on, it goes without saying that the existence of these problems indicates that the design ignores human elements. The basic question of how to design the artistic and functional features and how to perfectly combine them is once again paid attention to.

From the design artist's point of view, the perfect combination of artistic and functional design is one aspect, and how to make use of creative techniques is also an extremely important aspect. According to the actual situation in our country, combining the specific social environment and the background of complex and numerous service objects, we have created design works with higher artistic standards and in conformity with the public's favorite forms. This is what our country's design artists should think about. Since the 1970s, the concept of modern foreign countries has created a hurricane in our country. Traditional design ideas have been affected. Blind pursuits have led to disengagement from our country. Practice has proved that we need advanced scientific ideas and ideas, and we do not abandon our excellent traditions. Today, in China's design field, two concepts and techniques coexist and merge with one another. Obviously, the diversification of design is not only in line with the laws of the development of things but also the need of objective reality.

The concept of Western modern design tends to be expressed abstractly. This is an expression that emphasizes the sense of external form based on composition. The establishment of the basic theory is based on human understanding of natural science and philosophical epistemology. It is built on the basis of modern aesthetics of science and technology. It integrates achievements in modern physics, optics, mathematics, psychology, aesthetics, and many other fields. Fresh concept elements have been successfully applied in many fields of art design. Since the 1970s, the abstract design concept that has been formed has been widely used in industrial design, architectural design, graphic design, fashion design, stage art, visual transmission, and other fields, injecting fresh blood into our design culture. There are numerous examples of the visual enjoyment brought about by the use of practical design, and we are more familiar with the overseas Australian Sydney Opera House, the domestic Shanghai Economic and Trade Mansion, the Oriental Pearl, smooth lines, and simple shapes. Modern beauty. The abstract elements that make up the concept are often used in telephones and household appliances in furniture, daily necessities, and industrial products. We have already felt in real life the material that is brought to us by modern high-tech and modern art concepts. And spiritual enjoyment. Another kind of beauty is compared to the traditional beauty of modern decoration. The traditional Italian architecture and sculpture of the ancient Italian city of Florence makes people feel this kind of beauty. It is a baptism of ancient traditional culture, which is long, old, and profound.

The traditional decorative composition arts are exquisite and lively, and tend to be expressed in realism. They are more sensuous than Western arts. They are more often embodied in the design of decoration. Their formal characteristics are derived from ancient and traditional decorative arts. After refining and forming a system, it has played a leading role in the arts and crafts field for a relatively long period of time. It has been widely used in China's textile, clothing, printing and dyeing, ceramics and other decoration, such as: fabric patterns, clothing patterns, etc., this simple and emotional The trend of realism in the tendency to change has laid a solid foundation in our country and it is more extensive than that of Western art. When we consider the value orientation of design, we cannot ignore this point. We should admit that the theory of plane formation is a product of high technology. Its knowledge structure, content, and form are all relatively open and pluralistic, especially in terms of materials, and involve a wide macroscopic and microscopic world. Today, the design education system in most countries is the same, such as "ergonomics" and "three major components" constitute the basis of today's design theory and become the most important content in design education. However, traditional decoration is relatively closed, and both content and form have certain restrictions. Although it also emphasizes the sense of form and has certain abstract factors, it is based on figurative images. The flat composition in the western modern design brings people a special visual sense of beauty with its unique visual form and constitutional form. Its abstract features and forms of different visual guiding actions form a rigorous composition of rhythmic movements. The sensuous picture creates a kind of beauty of order, beauty of reason, and beauty of abstraction. The creation process of the plane constitutes a rational emotional experience from beginning to end. The relative restriction of the traditional decorative patterns makes the subject matter more concrete and formally standardized, but this kind of abstraction derived from life and nature is revealed. It is a vivid sensual beauty. It goes without saying that in the process of creating patterns, the emotional experience has obvious emotional characteristics. Different artistic concepts and different artistic techniques will produce different aesthetic effects, abstract and figurative, perceptual and rational, all can cause people to resonate differently. In the application design, art expressions should be selected in a timely manner so as to better achieve the purpose of design.

Our design culture should be an integral part of China's overall culture and economy. Its development trend should be based on aesthetic values ​​that are in line with national conditions. China’s traditional culture is the source of Chinese design culture, the foundation of the personality of Chinese design culture, and the foothold of design artists. It is necessary to combine our design culture with well-held “national feelings” and “ The sense of the times." In today's high-tech development and comprehensive utilization, Eastern and Western cultures, traditions and modern culture, science and technology, and culture and art are colliding with each other, and they are mutually integrated. Our lifestyle and way of thinking have also changed.
