Course Objectives The course aims to teach basic design concepts and design language through practical examples. Students will learn to comprehend the language of design through critiques and to develop their hand and mind skills by doing practical work. The course also intends to introduce the language of abstraction and forms, and to improve the ability to use this language. Additionally, students will learn how to comprehend the elements that make up two and three-dimensional compositions and develop their design process and presentation skills.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Acquire the ability to control multidimensional variables and construct a network of relationships among shapes/forms while solving a design problem.
  • Develop two and three dimensional perception and manual dexterity through practice.
  • Understand the problem solving process by discussing the basic principles of design and organization types through the works of well known designers and artists.
  • Express design solutions using various communication methods (visual and verbal) and tools.
  • Create texture samples and applies color principles and theories.
Course Content The course comprises of practical works that teach the basic principles of design for building a network of relationships between design elements and the language of design. The course follows a learn by doing approach and emphasizes the development of hand mind skills through applications and presentations. In addition, the course covers the principles and theories of texture and color.
