THEORY AND PRACTICE OF DIPLOMA DESIGN OF STUDENTS INDECORATIVE AND APPLIED ARTS AND DESIGN

Abstract

This paper presents the possibilities of design activity from the perspective of design process and design culture, which is widely used in diploma works during the training of future designers and specialists in decorative and applied arts. It was established that both the designer`s activity and the activity of the artist of arts and crafts are distinguished by the degree of the artist`s exclusion from the product of their works. It was found that a student must show erudition, deep knowledge of material and literature in their graduation works. Moreover, they need to have a broad picture of the current situation of industrial graphics, show the ability to analyze their work professionally, substantiate it in a competent and concise way, draw their own conclusions, provide the understanding of the solution to the problem and the results obtained within the design process, but not only those that have been prompted and determined by a thesis supervisor.
