Many studies have already been conducted to examine the key aspects of this historical phenomenon, e.g., heroic figures and well-known institutes. This article, however, investigates the anonymous activities of modern design education in Western China that have long been ignored because of their mundane function. Methods such as document analysis, questionnaire, interview, and subjective understanding are used to achieve the goal of this article. Through research on the School of Fine Arts in a University of Science and Engineering in Western China, as a typical case, this article reveals that although the school lags behind many other design schools, modern design education at the school has experienced sustained growth since its rise in the twenty-first century. The school has made achievements ina difficult situation but suffers from a series of disadvantages and problems. Additionally, modern design education at the school is facing new challenges resulting from changes related to raised standards and intense competition. In conclusion, the value of relatively unknown educational organisations of modern design is becoming clearer, since they are closely connected to the everyday life of ordinary people in Western China and take on a great deal of responsibility in serving the general populace and the vulnerable groups in society. This article, therefore, tries to call attention to anonymous modern design education whose aspects are disclosed through a case study.  \nKeywords  \nAnonymity, modern design, education, Western China, case study  \nIntroduction  \nAlthough there is no universal definition, modern design can be briefly defined as a creative activity that provides solutions to problems in various fields through planning and preparation, e.g., architecture, interior decoration, fashion, visual communication, and product (as well as service) in modern times, in which technology and aesthetics play a part. Meanwhile, modern design education aims to enable the educatees to learn design thinking and methods and acquire design skills through systematic training in an institution in order to meet the needs of design in the abovementioned fields. Chinese modern design has developed rapidly since its emergence in the 1980s (Hang and Cao, 2009; Li, 2008; Tao, 2013; Wang, 1989; Xu, 2015) . Accordingly, modern design education has been growing in China for almost 30 years. Many studies focusing on key aspects in design history have been conducted to investigate this historical phenomenon through empirical research and theoretical reflection (e.g., Fielding and Chung, 1998; Fung and Lo Choi, 2002; Wong, 2005; Wu, 2011; Xiang, 2015; Yang, 2009; Yuan, 2014; Zhang, 2008; 2020) . In practice, however, Chinese modern design education consists not only of “the celebrated”, namely the pioneers (e.g., Guanzhong Liu, Dingbang Yin, and Fuchang Zhang), historic events (e.g., the establishment of China Industrial Design Association and  \nGuangzhou Conference), and well-known educational organisations (e.g., Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Nanjing University of the Arts, Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, and Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, most of which are in Eastern China), but also of “the ordinary” education activities, which probably reflect more meaningful aspects and details. That is, not only the celebrated but also the ordinary parts should be taken into consideration when attempts are made to outline the main facts of Chinese modern design education. Hence, the concept of“anonymity” is introduced in this article to further investigate Chinese modern design education. As a term,“anonymous history” is rooted in studies of modern design history (Dilnot, 1984; Raizman, 2010; Sparke, ","cbCaie7mrJl0eZ08","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie7mrJl0eZ08","pdf",324340,13,"English","# Introduction\n# Methodology\n## Questions and Approaches","[{\"question\":\"What does the article focus on instead of famous figures and institutions?\",\"answer\":\"It investigates anonymous activities of modern design education in Western China that have been long ignored due to their mundane function.\"},{\"question\":\"What methods does the research use to achieve its goal?\",\"answer\":\"It uses document analysis, questionnaires, interviews, and subjective understanding.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the case study reveal about the fine arts school in Western China?\",\"answer\":\"The school lags behind many other design schools, yet modern design education there has grown steadily since the twenty-first century, with achievements despite difficult conditions and ongoing disadvantages.\"}]","Anonymous Modern Design Education in Western China: A Case Study | PDF",1792090561,33]
