摘要：A recurring feature of Studies in Design Education and Craft is the lively, informed and articula t e controversy that not only characterises design education but regularly revitalises it . The articles published in t h is issue are all concerned with one of the central issues in the controversy - the conflict between emphases on creativity and emphases on craft skills. In particular this issue may be seen in the provocative yet highly important contribu t ions by Ashton , Grady and P ugh . Pugh, in a hard-hitting review of the Art College and Polytechnic scene directs himself to the great divide in art education. ";There are fundamental , underlying contradictions at work in art education . On the one hand we have the Art Department which is rigid in traditions such as the perpetuation of old ";skills";, techniques and crafts, with an ostrich headed attitude towards the real problem of visual education; and on the other we have an attempted up-dating of the syllabus by emulating the trendy art gallery scene , turning the students into confused mimetics; they will be searching with the wrong equipment for that elusive"; recognition";. Under this second category art, as such, is treate d as being far too precious a subject to withstand any analysis ; the artist (or embryo arti s t) is seduced into thinking that he never really has to justify what he does: the die is cast f o r another aspect of the mystique.";
