记:您认为近些年来,我国艺术设计的发展状况如何? 杨永善(中央工艺美术学院副院长,以下简称杨):到80年代末,“艺术设计”这个词才开始为人们所认同,它的本质是“设计”,是通过艺术的手段来进行设计的,解决功能、效用、材料、技术和形式美感,设计是全方面的,而不是单方向的美术设计。而“艺术设计”又与“工程设计”不同,它是按照美的规律去进行创造,按照美的规律去进行造物,当然功能、效用、材料、技术也应该给予充分的重视。一个具有合理的功能效应,或者完全按照探索性的、创造性的功能效应设计出来的产品,形式上也会具有一定的美感。过去有的人在设计上不重视功能效应,现在这个问题解决得比较好,因为大家对设计的本质属性已有了一定的认识。艺术设计的 Note: How do you think the development of art and design in China in recent years? Yang Yongshan (Vice Dean of Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, hereinafter referred to as Yang): By the late 1980s, the term “art and design” was beginning to be accepted. The essence of “design” is to design through the means of art to solve the function, utility, material, technology and formal beauty. The design is all-sided, not unidirectional art design. And “art design” is different from “engineering design”. It is created according to the law of beauty and made according to the law of beauty. Of course, functions, functions, materials and techniques should also be given full consideration. A product that has a reasonable functional effect, or that is designed exactly in accordance with exploratory, creative functional effects, will have a certain aesthetic appearance. In the past, some people did not pay much attention to the functional effect in the design. Now, the problem is solved better because everyone has already got a certain understanding of the essential attributes of the design. Art Design
