Abstract
Nowadays design, as a discipline, is still in the process of evolving. The consequences of this
process can be seen in changes of classical forms of teaching design in higher education. One
of the most popular methods of obtaining new ideas of shaping in design is experiment. The
authors of the article also consider it to be one of the most effective forms of design education
for students.
In order to prove it and obtain new forms and methods of design training at the Industrial
Design Department of the Institute of Design of the RSU named after A. N. Kosygin а pedagogical
experiment was conducted. The experiment in design education was considered as
a way to get new ideas in shaping of industrial products. In the course of the pedagogical
experiment students used artistic images of wildlife for the formation of design objects based
on associative-shaped modeling.
According to the results of the pedagogical experiment, a new methodology of educational
design in the direction of "Design" was developed, based on the principles of bionic shaping
of objects of graphic and industrial design — by the method of associative-shaped modeling.
The use of the developed methods resulted in the increase of the level of term and graduation
projects of students of the Industrial Design Department, what was repeatedly noted by
specialists in the field of design.
