臺灣藝術大學設計教育的改變－以“校友經典設計大展”爲例

民國46年，國立藝專成立美術工藝科，成爲當時臺灣大專院校第一所設計科系，對於而後臺灣設計教育的開展具有開創性的意義。民國96年，適逢臺灣藝術大學成立設計科系五十週年，在臺藝校友及老師們的建議下，視覺傳達設計學系、工藝設計學系專兼任老師、同學的努力之下，完成「臺灣藝術大學設計教育五十年系列活動。設計教育系列活動之一的「校友經典設計大展」，是結合臺藝不同時期的畢業校友參加展出，將從事不同設計行業的校友齊聚一起，除了展現個人具有代表性的設計作品以外，甚至於呈現了臺灣社會各個時期不同的「面貌」，它本身即具有面對「臺灣設計史」的象徵意義，不等同於一般性的設計展覽。本研究目的：是透過「校友經典設計大展」的作品，一方面檢視長久以來設計的改變，一方面探尋設計教育未來的方向。藉由比較分析與深度訪談的研究方法，試圖解讀影響設計改變的「中介變項」。本研究初步發現：爲順應電腦資訊科技時代來臨，臺灣設計教育應該有所「變」，以及有所「不變」。

The National Taiwan Academy of Arts established the School of Arts and Crafts in 1957 and was the first tertiary institution to establish a design department in Taiwan, which carried an innovative message of the development of design education in Taiwan. The Year 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Design Department of National Taiwan University of Art. Part-time or specialist instructors and students from the Department of Visual Communication Design and Crafts and Design Department put together a series of activities on the 50 Years of the Design Education in National Taiwan University of Arts on the recommendation of the alumnae and instructors of the University. The ”Exhibition on classical designs from alumnae” is one of the activities of the design education, which integrates the works of the University alumnae from various periods and assembles alumnae from various design industries. The Exhibition demonstrates art works with individual characteristics, and displays various aspects of the Taiwanese society. The Exhibition represents the recognition of the ”Design History in Taiwan” and is different from other ordinary exhibitions. The aim of this research is to review the design changes developed throughout this long period of time and to explore the design direction of the future via the works demonstrated in the ”Exhibition on classical designs from alumnae”. The research shall attempt to analyze the ”mediators” which affect the design changes. The research preliminary discovers that the design education in Taiwan has changed in certain ways while certain developments were preserved to accommodate the era of computer information technology.
