Histories of Change in Art and Design Education in Ireland: Towards Reform: the Evolving Trajectory of Art Education

While clothing is produced and consumed rapidly, it strives to create appropriate forms and to create appropriate identities by giving correct messages; therefore, it is one of the most important fields requiring art and design education. The fashion design student, who forms the infrastructure with basic art education and figure drawing, not only transfers the imagination to the two-dimensional plane with the fashion drawing lesson but also transfers it to the two-dimensional plane; at the same time, he takes art and design education, which is aesthetic education, and feeds his visual vision and mind. In this research, the Fashion Drawing Lesson has been examined in detail in terms of determining the place, position, importance, processing and content of the Fashion Drawing Lesson in the official fashion design curriculum and a comprehensive literature search has been conducted; then the matter has been tried to be examined thanks to a link has been established between education, fashion, art and design disciplines. The course syllabus in Turkey and some of fashion design course programs in the world were examined; the experts providing fashion formal education and the students who received fashion formal education were interviewed face-to-face to obtain information first-hand. First of all, the study started by determining the fashion design undergraduate programs in the OSYM (Assessment Selection and Placement Center) placement guide and examining the course hours, course times and course contents of the fashion formal courses in these programs. The researcher visited the designated universities for the purpose of on-site observation and interview, and conducted semi-structured interview questions and face-to-face interviews with experts and students and recorded them. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using content analysis method and the findings were interpreted within the framework of the research questions. The findings were interpreted and discussed, and after the results were written, suggestions about the study were included. As a result, it has been determined that the admission of students to the fashion design program should be made with the combination of central examination system and talent exam suitable for fashion design education. It was seen that the time granted for the program was not sufficient in mean of implementation of the fashion drawing lessons properly in the fashion design education programs.

The main aim of this study was to describe the level of involvement in physical activity (PA) among art education major in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Additionally, this study was also keen to identify current perceptions and potential strategies to encourage students’ future participation in PA. This study adopted the mixed-method research design comprising both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Participants consisted of 30 final year students from art major (AD) students ages between 24 to 26 years (5 male, 25 female). The PA involvement was assessed using modified International Physical Activities Questionnaire (IPAQ). The qualitative data were gathered via interview protocols to identified perceptions and strategies to support student involvement in PA. Data analysis were conducted with SPSS (version 26.0) using a test such as descriptive statistics (e.g., means, standard deviation, percentage). Majority of the final year art and design education undergraduate students are active. All the participants were also aware of the importance of PA towards health condition, ideal body shaped and keeping fit. In term of strategies, many participants believe the faculty or university was responsible for organising various events to encourage them into higher engagement in PA. In addition, most of the participants also involve in either vigorous or moderate intensities PA each week with 66.7% and 46.7% respectively. This study believes individual involvement in physical activities is a long-term process and requires commitment. Only those teachers with high-level of knowledge, understanding and motivation can make changes to the students' perceptions and behaviour towards physical activities.

The University

Since its establishment in 1934 Silpakorn University has been recognized as the oldest, and one of the best, institutes of art and design education in Thailand. The University Library is believed to contain the foremost collection on art and art education in the country even though, in the past, its capacity to serve the public was constrained by inadequate bookstock and limited physical space. In order to expand its ability to serve the public and to enhance the development of art education in the country, a research project entitled ‘Electronic Resources on Art in Thailand (ERA)’ was launched in 1998, with the objective of creating an online source of information which would be useful both to the public and to professional artists and designers.

Thinking Process

Abstract: The creative process has long been interwoven with art education practice. Design thinking has numerous parallels to the creative process and may be viewed as an appropriate method to encourage creative thinking in both art and design students. This observational case study reflects on two disparate challenges in which 47 students tackled aesthetic and community provocations by applying the design thinking process. Reflective consideration of the results of each ‘project’ provides insight into the application and value of a proposed Design Thinking framework in art and design education. Keywords: Creativity; Design thinking; Innovation; Community. Résumé : Il existe depuis toujours une sorte d’interaction entre le processus créatif et la pratique de l’enseignement des arts. Il y a de nombreux parallèles entre le processus créatif et la réflexion conceptuelle, cette dernière pouvant être perçue comme une méthode appropriée pour encourager la pensée créatrice chez les étudiant.e.s, aussi bien en art qu’en design. Cette étude de cas par observation s’articule autour de deux défis distincts dans le cadre desquels 47 étudiant.e.s ont dû gérer des impératifs esthétiques et communautaires en recourant à un processus de réflexion conceptuelle. L’analyse réflexive des résultats de chacun des « projets » offre un aperçu de la mise en œuvre et de la valeur d’un cadre potentiel de réflexion conceptuelle au regard des études artistiques et de design. Mots-clés : créativité, réflexion conceptuelle, innovation, communauté.
