Особливості завдань з паперопластики для спеціалізації «Графічний дизайн»

Abstract

У статті висвітлено та обґрунтовано методичні засади завдань з дисципліни «Основи формоутворення», запроваджених на кафедрі дизайну НАОМА. Формулюються вимоги до завдань з паперопластики, окремо розроблені для спеціалізації «Графічний дизайн». The task of paper forming is basic for the course of «The theory of forming» – the propaedeutic discipline of the Design Department of the National Academy of Fines Arts and Architecture. The requirements on such practical assignments are envisaged by the specialty of the Department of Design and by the peculiarities of professional activity. Graphic Design has somehow different demands and methods of professional development, and these peculiarities should be properly analyzed at first as well as basic assignments should be methodically organized. The scope of usage of paper in Graphic design is very wide; it’s used during the basic education in propaedeutic courses as well as in students’ projects of upper courses. In contrary to the other types of design the paper itself in graphic design is for outline design project. It is important that the graphic designers are directly dealing with the paper material in their professional activity. So, among the main priorities of the paper forming course should be not only the skills of plastic development of 3-d forms and composed construction but also the creation of new forms and forming systems according to the properties of the material. In the framework of the discipline there are lectures, individual work with the students for the discussion of chosen by them ideas and the ways of the project realization, as well as independent work of the students for the practical part of the assignment. At the beginning the students are faced with the high quality patterns of paper, its features and technical peculiarities of work with it on the basis of theoretical material and practical tasks. The next assignments based on the basic geometrical forms are called to ensure the usage of material and modeling thinking, understanding of functional and esthetic fundamentals of the project and unity of the function and construction. Students, by independently making complicated three-dimensional composition, are studying the principles of space transformation of given area and structuring of independent elements of form. The important task for future graphic designers is to make a series of objects on the basis of the one forming paradigm, which is foundation for the packaging as a professional activity. The independent development by the student of schemes and forming principles is provided by the practical work itself at all the stages. The method is absolutely excepting the reproduction of borrowed patterns.
