For performing a design education efficiently, first of all the development of its methods is required. Most departments of design agree on the necessity, however, there are no sufficient basic studies on it. The established design curriculums are short of systemic teaching-study especially there is no subject on a Bionics design. The current design curricula in Korea universities consist of subjects on development of abilities of expression, thinking, and application. Due to concentrating on beauty values, they can not cultivate the basic ability for drawing rational forms. Because there are not enough subjects to relate with the abilities of expression and application, the results of styling techniques based on appearances have been created from the practical subjects of high grades.
To resolve these problems, this study focus on presenting teaching method of Bionics design. The design will be able to satisfy the needs for compensating for gaps between subject of high and low grades, suitable for improving the ability of analytic method. It is made up of courses of teachings of conception, concreteness and expression. The conception course is to instruct students through a creative thinking to recognize features of natural materials and how to express them. The concreteness course is a course of sketching images from the observation of forms and colors of collected things.
The expression course is to show a new design type by applying the concreted things to a target theme and contents of the observation. The systemic education of training ideas will play an important role in developing aesthetics and creativity of designers.
