==Design education==
In Western Europe, institutions for design education date back to the nineteenth century. The [[Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry]] was founded in 1818, followed by the United Kingdom's [[Royal College of Art|Government School of Design]] (1837), and [[Konstfack]] in Sweden (1844). The [[Rhode Island School of Design]] was founded in the United States in 1877. The German art and design school [[Bauhaus]], founded in 1919, greatly influenced modern design education.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Naylor |first=Gillian |title=The Bauhaus Reassessed |date=1985 |publisher=Herbert Press |isbn=0906969301}}</ref>

[[Design education]] covers the teaching of theory, knowledge, and values in the design of products, services, and environments, with a focus on the development of both particular and general skills for designing. Traditionally, its primary orientation has been to prepare students for professional design practice, based on project work and studio, or [[atelier]], teaching methods.

There are also broader forms of higher education in [[design studies]] and [[design thinking]]. Design is also a part of general education, for example within the curriculum topic, [[Design and Technology]]. The development of design in general education in the 1970s created a need to identify fundamental aspects of 'designerly' ways of knowing, thinking, and acting, which resulted in establishing design as a distinct [[Academic discipline|discipline]] of study.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Cross |first1=Nigel |title=Design as a Discipline: Designerly Ways of Knowing |journal= Design Studies |date=1982 |volume=3 |issue=4 |pages=221–227 |doi=10.1016/0142-694X(82)90040-0 |url= https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0142-694X%2882%2990040-0|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
