Abstract
Graphic design is a comprehensive science integrating artistry, innovation and operability. Graphic design is not limited to print media any more, but starts to be combined with multi-dimensional design methods. The traditional dull duck-stuffing teaching method is not good for stimulating students’ enthusiasm for study, creativity and imagination, and cannot meet students’ learning need accordingly. Thus, we intend to combine painting-imitating teaching with virtual reality in the course of graphic design, with an aim to make up the deficiency of traditional teaching mode, stimulate students’ enthusiasm for study and learning motivation, arouse students’ imagination, creativity and sensibility, and improve students’ overall design capability. To check the effect of the combination of painting-imitating teaching and virtual reality in course teaching of graphic design, we carried out a case study of course teaching of graphic design. The results demonstrate that the class for which virtual reality teaching tools was adopted is significantly superior to the class for which the traditional teaching method was adopted in respect of the degree of proficiency of course teaching skills, special imagination, students’ concentration, and consolidation of knowledge after class, especially in respect of students’ concentration and special imagination. These findings indicate the combination of painting-imitating teaching and virtual reality is helpful to stimulate students’ learning initiative, enthusiasm for study, and learning interest, and greatly improve learning effect.
Highlights
Graphic design is referred to as visual communication design
Traditional graphic design with dull form of representation is little attractive to the audience objectives
We certainly can break down the barriers of traditional education and optimize the traditional education mode by combining new design tools and the science of graphic design based on the traditional graphic design course and in reliance upon new media technology
Summary
Graphic design is referred to as visual communication design. Traditional graphic design mainly refers to two-dimensional artistic creation based on print media. The presentation of graphic design is not limited to two-dimensional surface any more, but starts to be combined with threedimensional space and virtual space, to present design more visual and vivid. It has become an inexorable trend of educational development to apply multimedia technology and virtual reality technology in education. The innovative point of this research includes the combination of painting-imitating teaching with virtual reality technology and professional graphic design software, and the application of the combination in the teaching process of graphic design. The painting-imitating teaching method is featured by that students can be guided to imitate effect pictures in different ways in teaching process, the degree of proficiency of students in knowledge and skills can be learned about, students’ experience can be enriched, a full play can be given to students’ subjective initiative, and students can be motivated to acquire new knowledge constantly
