For designers living in modern times where human sensibility and intelligence can be reproduced and reproducible, it is important to come up with designs that distinguish them from existing designs by discovering the need and desire for analog in an age of digital transformation that is lost in reality. Therefore, this thesis seeks to find potential representability of design and develop a material design curriculum based on physical experiments as a way to extend its meaning. The design for lesson plan was intended to be organized in stages based on the relationship between design and materials and the role of material research in design, and the physical properties experiment, which is the core of the lesson plan was designed to find the direction of artistic exploration. The experiment was conducted in three main ways: Materials were dealt with through three experiments, including ①forming techniques to explore aesthetic design expression through active shape-modification experiments, ②mixed material research to create different materials by mixing two or more materials, and ③surface treatment research methods to test application of finishing materials and colors. For the measurement of physical properties, different experimental materials were relatively compared, and the properties of the materials were expressed in one sentence to show the subjective interpretation of the materials. Prototypes produced by material experiments helped build creative ideas, resulting in distinctive results from computer graphics-dependent design representations, and the original source, converted into digital images, was able to find originality distinct from existing designers' work when deployed into different types and media in various fields of design. This paper proposed a more systematic material design class model focused on physical experiments with the purpose of expanding the scope of thinking and expressing new ideas, while identifying the usefulness and significance of the results based on the classes conducted through participants.
