Compared with those of western countries, however, the level of art design and design education still shows some inadequacy in that the system and purpose of art design education is not clear enough, the concept of training is a little conservative, and the theory development, practical experience and achievement accumulation are not quite consummate. Therefore, it is necessary to reexamine the traditional thought pattern and seek the approach to reforming art design education under the impact of modern art basing upon the current situation of art design education in China.This thesis intends to probe into art design training requirements at the new economic time and the scientific pattern of art design education/teaching in China.
