| Course Objectives: | This course aims to provide the students with the foundational knowledge on the language of color and its applications. It also aims to teach students how to apply principles from various color theories and understand the principles of natural and artificial light. Through course exercises, students are encouraged to creatively combine color and light in their projects. Class activities explore different methods for applying color and light, while students are also tasked with researching readily available color and light products. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) Apply principles of color and light theory by visually communicating color concepts to solve design problems effectively. 2) Create a comprehensive color archive by selecting and organizing a wide range of colors from diverse materials such as paper and fabric. 3) Develop individual color schemes by analyzing and designing solutions for specific design problems. 4) Demonstrate the ability to define and establish associations for design works where color serves as a dominant element. 5) Implement the correct usage of color terminology in design disciplines. 6) Identify and evaluate academic literature related to color in the context of art and design to gain theoretical insights. 7) Examine the emotional and sensory impact of color by investigating its influence on perception and user experience. |
| The course is structured in three parts: First part aims for students to learn various color theories and light as a property of light in physics. The effects of color interactions are emphasized with class exercises. Students learn to make their own color schemes for various design problems. Second part of the course will concentrate on color associations of art and design works. Color as being a conductor of idea and emotional content is explored and questioned from a subjective standpoint. The third part will give space for personal color expressions with various projects. Finally a poster work is requested where its emotional and conceptual contents are predominantly carried by color. Teaching Methods: Lecture, Individual Study, Discussion, Project, Implementation, Technology-Enhanced Learning |
