Integration of 3D Design Courses and Cultural and Creative Design

Abstract

In the new era of design education, 3D design courses have become an important vehicle for cultivating students' spatial thinking, technical practice, and creative expression abilities. Meanwhile, with the vigorous development of the cultural and creative industry, the demand for interdisciplinary design talents in cultural and creative design has become increasingly prominent. These talents are required to not only possess professional skills but also have cultural understanding, innovative integration, and market application capabilities. Against this backdrop, this paper explores the paths and values of integrating 3D design courses with cultural and creative design, aiming to enhance the teaching effectiveness and interdisciplinary nature of the courses, as well as strengthen students' awareness of cultural innovation and comprehensive design literacy. Using literature research, case analysis, and action research methods, this study systematically sorts out the theoretical foundations and practical models of the integration of 3D design and cultural and creative design. Combined with specific curriculum design and project implementation, it proposes a curriculum integration strategy of "culture-oriented, technology-supported, and project-driven". Practice has shown that this model has effectively stimulated students' enthusiasm for creation, strengthened their ability to modernize the translation of traditional cultural elements, and enhanced the application value and social recognition of design achievements. This research is of positive significance for promoting the reform of design education courses, facilitating cultural inheritance and innovation, and serving the development of regional cultural and creative industries.
