Overall Educational Objective | To learn how to decide picking out colors, textures and materials that suits for one’s design in order to affect moods and covey a message. | ||||
Course Description | Certainly, color is one of the driving forces of the decorative side of design, but it makes no sense to consider it in isolation from texture- and a lesser extent pattern. It is also impossible to choose colors without knowing how they will be affected by a property’s light – both natural and artificial. There is no color without light, so the very term ‘color’ means nothing without the presence of light.” Kelly Hoppen, Design Masterclass, How to achieve the home of your dreams, Page 102 This class will aim for the students to make wise and informed decision on picking out colors, textures and materials that will work for them. There are endless possibilities and choices in the design industry, which can lead to a person feeling confused and bothered. Our aim is to have a better understanding on how we can affect moods and convey a message. Once we understand how people will perceive an atmosphere we will be creating mood boards and digital presentations that will help students in their field of work. | ||||
Course Description in Turkish | Kesinlikle, renk tasarım dünyasının öne sürülen güçlerinden biridir, ancak rengi kumaştan ve hatta desenden ayırmak mümkün değildir. Ayrıyeten ışığın nasıl etki edeceğini bilmeden renk seçmekte mümkün değildir- ister doğal ister yapay ışık olsun. Işıksız olmadan renk olmaz, o yüzden rengin tanımı ışığın yoksunluğunda değersizdir.’ Söz: Kelly Hoppen kitabından alıntı Çeviri: Melisa Suzan Göksu |
