Painting skills in the system of professional training of designers of various profiles in modern Chinese universities

Abstract

The article examines the process of formation of painting skills as part of the professional training of designers of various profiles in modern China – a country with huge economic potential and in need of professional designers of various kinds of products. The problem of the research is that modern design is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. While it requires standardization and compliance with rules and regulations, it still presupposes a breadth of creative thinking and imagination, as well as the ability to implement their ideas in an artistic form. This puts forward the need to preserve and develop disciplines related to the visual arts, and in particular painting. The subject of the author's attention is Chinese design education, and the object is the role and place of painting in the process of training specialists in such popular areas as art design, fashion industry, building and interior design, industrial and computer design. The purpose of the study is to characterize the position of disciplines related to the pictorial art in Chinese design education at the present time. To do this, it is supposed to consistently consider the features of teaching painting for different specialties in the largest universities in China. It can appear as an integrated beginning in professional disciplines, be an independent and rather isolated discipline, and also be used as a means for mastering the theory of color. The duration of training also varies, as well as the degree of permissibility or undesirability of creative self-expression. The techniques of image in the process of preparing educational design projects of Chinese students are systematized. The interaction of the sketch of the future designer in color with the embodiment of the finished product is revealed.
